    Passive Safety

  • Protection against the unavoidable

    In cases of unavoidable collisions, passive safety systems are designed to protect and minimise injury to drivers and passengers. Advanced airbag systems, seatbelt pretensioners, and crumple zones that absorb energy during an impact are engineered to keep everyone as safe as possible in the event of 
an accident.

  • Safer. Stronger. Smarter.

  • Crumple zones

    Engineered with structural safety in mind, our vehicles are built with strategically engineered crumple zones to absorb and dissipate crash energy, reducing the risk of injury.

  • Reinforced chassis

    Using a combination of high-strength materials, a safety cage design and energy management, the chassis helps direct energy away from passengers, reducing the force they experience.

  • Enhanced handling

    Beyond crash protection, a stronger chassis also improves vehicle stability, suspension, and control, which can help prevent accidents from happening in the first place.

  • Safety from within

    Advanced airbag systems provide optimal protection for every passenger. Using multiple sensors, the system can detect the severity of a collision as well as the position of passengers to adjust airbag deployment accordingly.
     
    From front and side airbags to curtain and knee airbags, this innovative network cushions impact, reducing the risk of injury.

  • Less movement is sometimes best

    Working in conjunction with your Kia’s passive safety features, our seatbelt systems keep drivers and passengers secure in the event of a collision.

  • Pretensioners

    Pretensioners automatically tighten the seatbelt at the moment of impact, holding all passengers firmly in place.

  • Force limiters

    Force limiters are designed to release a small amount of webbing to reduce pressure on the chest in the case of an accident.

  • Always there in moments of need

  • Battery compartment shielding

    We reinforce our batteries in compartments that shield them from impacts, debris and environmental risks. The casing absorbs crash impacts and works with the vehicle’s structure to keep both the battery and 
passengers safe.

  • Child safety

    Kias are designed with children’s safety in mind, featuring ISOFIX anchor points for child seats, eliminating the need to rely solely on seat belts. Additionally, rear door child locks and advanced airbag systems offer big safety for little passengers.

  • Illumination for your protection

    Warning lights are visual alerts designed to inform you about your Kia’s status and any potential issues. Understanding these lights helps you maintain your vehicle’s safety and prevent expensive repairs by addressing issues early.
