Kia Sonet falls short on safety

The Kia Sonet's one star result shows how far the industry still has to go.

The model includes as standard driver and passenger frontal airbags and ESC, but lacks side head protection airbags.

The crash test report noted:

- The footwell area and bodyshell were unstable and not capable of withstanding further loadings.
- In the side impact test, poor chest protection limited the adult protection rating to one star, while abdomen protection was rated as adequate.
- The side pole test was not conducted because side head protection airbags are not fitted as standard.
- Child Occupant Protection: both child dummies received full protection in the dynamic test, but the absence of 3-point belts in all seating positions, no passenger airbag disabling switch and a low CRS installation score resulted in a 3 star rating.
