Kia Sorento Surround View Monitoring “Rubber Duckies” Test Commercial
If you watch NFL football, or if you like to keep up on ads with vehicle safety features, you’ve probably seen a commercial for the Kia Sorento where it avoids rubber duckies, while the Jeep Grand Cherokee does not and crushes the rubber animals instead.
What is the feature the Kia Sorento SUV is showing off, you might ask? It’s the Surround View Monitor, which gives you a near-360-degree look at everything around you. Read on for more about this feature, and for the commercial itself!
Surround View Monitor for the Kia Sorento
That’s a fun, informative commercial, isn’t it? Basically, with the available Surround View Monitor (SVM) that comes with the Kia Sorento, you can avoid obstacles in your way, while the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which does not have this feature, will more likely not be able to avoid these obstacles, since it does not have the Surround View Monitor available. And this is due to the SVM’s four cameras that capture real-time images from around nearly your entire vehicle, giving you the visual information you need to drive safely.
Don’t worry if you see this commercial is for the 2017 Sorento and you would like a 2018 model, as 2018 is a carryover from 2017 and this feature comes available for both model years, in the SX Limited trim!
Other Safety Features of the Kia Sorento
The Kia Sorento SUV has been named three consecutive IIHS Top Safety Picks (2016 to 2018 model years), which means it is among the most impact-resistant vehicles in its class. Here’s some other safety features of the Kia Sorento:
- Rear-Camera Display, standard for all trims in 2018 (comes in all trims but the base L for the 2017 model)
- Available Rear Parking Assist System.
- Available Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
- Available Lane Departure Warning System.
- Available Smart Cruise Control.
- Available Blind-Spot Detection.
