Kia Sportage Named One of the Safest Family Cars
The all-new Kia Sportage
has been named one of the safest cars for families
after scoring a maximum five-star rating in the 2022 Euro NCAP safety tests.
Vehicle safety is paramount, so having robust technologies and systems in place to protect our customers is always a priority. At Kia, achieving a five-star Euro NCAP rating is the standard of safety we strive for and target every time with our family-friendly vehicles
.
The Sportage performed exceptionally across the board, achieving an overall score of 87% for adult occupant protection. This includes scores of 14.6 and 13.6 out of 16 for lateral and frontal impact, respectively, and a perfect 2/2 score for rescue and extrication. The total of 87% places the Sportage near the five-star Mazda CX-60 (88%) and above the BMW X1 (86%). It’s also just below the fully-electric Kia EV6, which scored 90% for adult occupant protection.
For child occupant protection, the Sportage scored an overall of 86%. This was based on an almost flawless 23.5/24 score for crash test performance (6 and 10 year old children) and a perfect 12/12 score for CRS Installation Check. With a total of 86%, the Sportage is placed alongside the Tesla Model Y (87%).
These impressive scores for adult and child occupant protection demonstrate the advanced passenger safety provided by the new ‘N3’ platform. This is Kia’s new third-generation platform, utilising a ‘multi-load path’ structure that controls and absorbs energy impact in the event of a collision.

*Fuel economy and emissions: driving range standards are calculated using the World Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP).
**There are certain situations in which the petrol engine will automatically activate even when the vehicle is in EV mode. Examples could include: when the hybrid battery state of charge is reduced to a certain level, when acceleration demand is high and/or when it is required to heat up the cabin.
*** Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) is an assistance system and does not relieve the driver from their responsibility to safely operate the vehicle at any time. The driver still has to adapt their driving behaviour to their personal driving capabilities, to the legal requirements and to the overall road and traffic conditions. FCA is not designed to drive the vehicle autonomously. For further information, please refer to the owner’s manual.
