Explore the Kia SUV Lineup 

Best Kia SUV for Big Families 

Consider the Telluride, a Kia 3 row SUV, to transport you and all your loved ones to any destination on the map. There’s room for a total of eight people or pets, and you can rely on advanced technology that keeps you and your family safe. For example, the back rows are equipped with a seat belt reminder, making sure everyone is strapped in before you pull out of the driveway. Plus, the rear occupant alert tells you to check the back seats to confirm that your family has exited the vehicle. 

Best Kia SUV for Camping 

The Kia Sportage will match your desire for adventure, from your home to your favorite campgrounds. Take advantage of its towing capacity of 3,500 pounds to haul your camper or small trailer along for the ride.* The all-wheel-drive version of this SUV sits 8.3 inches off the ground, which allows it to avoid bumps in the road or along the trail. Plus, you can steer in all-wheel drive with available terrain mode that’s designed to conquer snow, sand, and mud. Once you reach your favorite spot, use the available panoramic sunroof to gaze at the stars in the sky. 

Best Kia SUV for City Driving 

Along with carpooling and overpacking, the Kia Sorento is ideal for cruising the city streets. This SUV is smaller than the Telluride, but you still have seven-passenger seating in three rows, so you never have to travel by yourself. With intuitive safety features, such as Smart Cruise Control and Lane Following Assist, you can drive confidently through downtown Nashville and beyond. As you sit in the driver’s seat, you can charge your phone via available wireless charging or through a USB port and follow directions on a 12.3-inch touchscreen display. The available turbocharged engine can also crank out up to 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque, perfect for you to go just about anywhere. 

Best Kia SUV for Gas Mileage 

Discover the ultimate travel companion with the Kia Niro plug-in hybrid. With an estimated all-electric range of 33 miles, you can drive short distances on pure electric power (with no tailpipe emissions).^ Other perks of choosing the Niro include over a dozen driver-assist features, such as Enhanced Auto Emergency Braking, plus an available premium audio system that will blast your favorite songs throughout your commute. 

Best Kia SUV for New Drivers 

If you have a new driver in your family, or it’s your first time handling an SUV on the road, then you may be interested in the Seltos, a small Kia SUV. It has plentiful aesthetic appeal with glossy 17-inch alloy wheels and available SynTex-trimmed seats. Plus, it can be equipped with technology that detects pedestrians and other cars in your blind spot, makes sure your vehicle stays in its lane, and helps you ease into a parking spot. The Seltos has plenty of power and cutting-edge features in a compact size.
