The Kia brand is making a name for itself with top-selling models like the Forte, Sorento, and Soul. Reliable performance, easy handling, smart safety, and technology are the signature of these standout models.
Forte
The Kia Forte is the perfect starter car for anyone looking for a comfortable compact sedan. It’s available in 4-door and 5-door hatchback options and offers built-in Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto capabilities for safe, hands-free calling and messaging. The Kia Forte also comes in a “Koup” edition for those who crave a sportier drive. Parents of teen drivers and families looking for a reliable second commuter car should consider how a Forte might fit their budget and their focus on safety.
Soul
The Kia Soul is the perfect size for the parent who wants something a bit more robust than your standard economy sedan for a new teen driver. It also appeals to adults who require some cargo capacity, but aren’t interested in a standard SUV. The way the front seats are positioned in the vehicle allows for ample legroom for taller drivers. The Soul is a fun, comfortable drive with decent gas mileage at 31 mpg for highway driving.
Optima
Like the Soul, the Optima is known for its legroom for taller drivers. It’s also considered Kia’s luxury model. The higher-end trims include leather seating with heated front seats, an optional ten-speaker sound system, power folding and heated outside mirrors, and a sleek Smart Welcome package that detects your Smart Key and unfolds the outside mirrors automatically while turning on the door pocket lights. Those who enjoy a first-class driving experience should opt for a test drive in a new Optima.
The Optima is also available as a hybrid that offers up to 40 mpg for highway driving.
Sorento
The Kia Sorento is your standard family SUV, but with a whole lot more to offer. If family travel is a must for you, check out the Kia Sorento. Dual-zone vents and ventilated seating keep everyone comfortable during long drives. Another key feature of the Sorento is its adaptability. The standard model comes equipped with seating for five, but you can opt to add a third row of seating to accommodate up to seven passengers. When not needed, the third row can be folded down for convenience, giving you a full 73 cubic feet of cargo space.
Sportage
The Kia Sportage is Kia’s answer to the crossover market. It’s more compact than the Sorento and suited to small families or adventurous adults who need room for a lot of gear. The base model comes with plenty of technology, including a rear-camera display, Bluetooth wireless hands-free connectivity, and steering-wheel mounted audio phone controls. As with the Sorento, the rear seats fold down for easy changes to the cargo area.
