2023 Kia Niro – top five safety technology features
The 2023 Kia Niro is equipped with just about every driver-assist feature you’ve heard of. For a quick list, there’s Forward Collision Avoidance, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Driver Attention Warning, Blind Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance-Assist, Safe Exit Warning, Rear Occupant Alert, Smart Cruise Control, and Highway Driving Assist.
The name of each driver-assist feature gives you a pretty good idea of what it does. It’s a pretty overwhelming list, though, so let’s take a look at the top five safety features.
- Driver Attention Warning* (DAW): DAW analyzes your behavior to assess your attention level, and it’ll provide a warning if it detects that you need to take a break from driving, which can occur if you’re driving fatigued.
- Blind Spot Collision Warning (BCW): RCW helps avoid rear-side vehicles when exiting a parallel parking spot.
- Safe Exit Warning* (SEW): SEW warns you if a vehicle is approaching when you’re exiting.
- Rear Occupant Alert* (ROA): ROA warns you to check your rear seat when you’re exiting.
- Highway Driving Assist* (HSA): HSA combines several technologies to assist you in highway driving.

No system, no matter how advanced, can compensate for all driver errors and/or driving conditions. Always drive safely.

Failure to pay attention to travel conditions and vehicle operation could result in loss of vehicle control. Always drive safely and use caution.
When engaged, Safe Exit Warning is not a substitute for one’s attention and may not detect all objects surrounding the vehicle. Always pay attention to traffic and to the area around your vehicle when exiting the vehicle.
When engaged, Rear Occupant Alert is not a substitute for one’s attention and may not detect all movement within the vehicle. Always check the vehicle interior when exiting the vehicle.
Highway Driving Assist is not a substitute for safe driving, may not detect all objects around the vehicle, and only functions on certain federal highways. Always drive safely and use caution.
