Kia Sorento GT-Line PHEV AWD – Baby duties Week 2

What is the Kia Sorento PHEV like for a family

Sorento GT-Line – It’s week two with the Kia Sorento as I continue my search for the best cars for new mums. I want to talk about safety — something every new mum is focused on.

2025 Kia_Sorento_GT-Line039  The Kia Sorento comes with a five-star ANCAP safety rating, which is reassuring when your precious bub is on board. That peace of mind really matters.

One feature I especially like is the 360-degree camera system. Suburban car parks can be tight, and it makes reversing much easier. The digital centre mirror is another standout — even when the boot is packed full of baby gear, I can still clearly see what’s behind me.

Blind spots are always a concern, and with blind-spot monitoring and blind-spot collision-avoidance, I’m alerted if I’ve missed something. There are curtain airbags covering the first and second rows, although not the third row.

New mums are often tired, so I appreciate the little things that quietly help without needing extra thought. If it rains, the wipers activate. When it gets dark, the headlights come on. The large head-up display keeps important information right in my line of sight, helping me stay focused on the road.

The front seats are particularly comfortable and supportive, with heating and cooling. When I’m in the back seat with bub, there are USB ports for convenience, and rear pull-up sunshades.

Legroom can feel a little tight when sitting beside bub, but there’s plenty of headroom.

Overall, the Kia Sorento GT-Line gets a big tick from mum and bub for safety.

This is a Motoring Minute.
