QUALITY TESTING

Tested for strength. And then some.

Global Testing
Your new Sorento has a sibling that has seen it all, tested in some of the world’s most grueling  environments, from Alaskan tundra to Death Valley desert, all to create a vehicle with capability for whatever’s out there.

Extreme Temperatures
Test vehicles are repeatedly frozen to -40ºF and then driven to the limit of performance at 130ºF—near the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth—demonstrating their resolve under intense pressure.

Pushed to the Limit
Testing covers all kinds of excessive and severe conditions—from extreme radiation to magnified heat and a corrosive saltwater bath—preparing Sorento for whatever comes its way.
