Kia safety features are designed to support everyday driving, from busy traffic to highway cruising and tight parking situations. Many Kia models include driver-assistance features that use cameras, radar, sensors, and alerts to help monitor the road around you.
Features vary by model and trim, so this guide is a helpful starting point for understanding the technology you may see across the Kia lineup.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
What Is Kia Drive Wise?
Kia Drive Wise is Kia’s collection of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, also known as ADAS. Instead of one single feature, it refers to a suite of available technologies that can help with alerts, steering support, braking assistance, parking confidence, and highway driving support.
Some features may come standard on select models, while others may be included on higher trims or available packages. If you’re comparing LX, EX, GT-Line, X-Line, SX, or SX Prestige models, our Kia trim levels guide can help you understand how Kia organizes features across the lineup.
