Kia has a wide range of SUVs on offer. This article breaks down the types of used Kia’s available for sale now.
Key Takeaways:
- All Kia cars come with a five-year warranty, meaning that resale cars are typically better maintained than their counterparts from other brands
- Kia’s lightweight options like the Seltos and Soul offer excellent value and great features for the price point
- The Telluride is one of the best full-size SUVs on the market today
Kia Seltos:
Tied with the Soul for the smallest car in the lineup, the Seltos is an excellent pick for the value. It has excellent cargo room for its class, and features many amenities standard for an SUV of its price. WIth an excellent fuel economy, the Seltos is a great value pick, alongside its quirky cousin in the Soul.
Kia Soul:
An efficient and effective car with an unforgettable look, the Soul exceeds expectations. Its iconic boxy-exterior gives it ample room for storage and people on the inside, while keeping acceptable fuel economy and a form factor small enough for any city or parking space. A little less efficient, but a whole lot more capable, the Soul is an excellent pick for an urban runabout.
Entering compact-SUV territory, the Sportage offers a nice blend of efficiency and versatility. Seating five comfortably with extra room in the trunk, the Sportage is a little larger and more costly than the subcompact SUVs, but is still cheaper than rival offerings, like the Honda CR-V. As a comfortable middle ground, the Sportage is good for whatever task is put before it.
Kia Niro
The Hybrid Niro goes very light on the gas — and on your wallet. As an environmental pick, the Niro costs somewhat more upfront, but will earn it back over time. At a similar size to the Sportage, it offers the same five-plus-cargo capability, but with even better value. For the environmentally conscious, or cost weary, the Niro is an excellent choice.
At the next step into versatility, the Sorento serves as a middle between Kia’s full-size SUVs and its compacts. In this role, it doesn’t disappoint with its thrifty price and plethora of options. Sitting eight, the Sorento is great for those who only need a third row occasionally, and don’t want a car to dominate their garage.
The jewel in Kia’s crown, the full-size Telluride offers adult-friendly seating in all three rows, and amenities that rival even luxury counterparts. It has all the upsides of a big car, with few of the downsides. The Telluride is quiet and well-mannered. Towing is excellent, and it outperforms other Full-sizers for fuel efficiency. For those looking for pure capability (with surprising amounts of comfort) at a budget that won’t break the bank — the Telluride is the perfect pick.
Kia EV6
An all-electric car with shocking performance, the EV6 strikes a middle ground between fun and cost. The GT trim can run from 0-60 in 3.2 seconds — more than enough to be grinning ear-to-ear while driving this car. For those who want a fun car without breaking the bank or the environment, the EV6 will serve you well.
Kia EV9
The older brother of the EV6, the EV9 is an electric three-row SUV: both capable and fuel efficient. Something very few other SUVs can claim. With 230 miles of range, and able to add 100 miles of electricity in just 13 minutes at the charger, the EV9 is great at long range and hauling — things that EVs have struggled with in the past. Like any EV, the initial investment is repaid by the cost of fuel over time. For exceptional capability, range, charging speed, and fuel efficiency, the EV9 won’t disappoint.
