Kia’s lineup is diverse, with plenty of different years to explore and several sedan, SUV, and EV options. Take a look at all the pages we’ve compiled below to determine which Kia makes the most sense for you.
Kia K4
The K4 is Kia’s smallest car, representing an easy entry point into Kia ownership. The compact sedan makes it an easy choice for individuals seeking their first car or drivers looking for a dependable, fuel-efficient commuter. Critics love the K4 for its agile handling and sharp styling.
Kia K5
The K5 is the K4’s older sibling, offering a larger cabin, a more powerful powertrain, and some added features. The mid-size sedan is a favorite among most people looking for their next sedan, and it offers plenty of room, making it suitable for occasional rear-seat passengers.
Kia Soul
Popularized by the Hamsters in the early 2010s, the Kia Soul has remained relatively unchanged. The silhouette is polarizing, but it has a certain charm. The Soul is known for maximizing it’s cargo space, and providing excellent fuel economy despite its boxy shape.
Kia Seltos
The Seltos is Kia’s subcompact offering, and it has achieved high marks thanks to its impressive driving dynamics and spacious cargo area. It has more features than the Soul, but is still offered at an affordable price point, designed for individuals seeking reliable, affordable, everyday transportation.
Kia Sportage
The Sportage is one of Kia’s best sellers, adopting the classic compact SUV silhouette. The Sportage is roomy and, as you’d expect from the name, plenty sporty. One of the Sportage’s strengths is its diversity of powertrains. You can find it in a gas, hybrid, or plug-in hybrid configuration.
Kia Sorento
The Kia Sorento is the first of Kia’s three-row SUVs, and offers the most affordable three-row configuration. While not as large as the Kia Telluride or Carnival, it comes equipped with a generous array of amenities. It comes in a gas, hybrid, or plug-in hybrid format.
Kia Telluride
The Kia Telluride is a fan favorite. Everyone who drives this three-row SUV seems to fall in love with it. When friends and family ask us which SUV they should buy, the Telluride is always near the top of the list. Unlike many of Kia’s SUVs, it only comes with a gas powertrain.
Kia Carnival
The Kia Carnival MPV has the looks of an SUV, but the functionality of a minivan. It’s a perfect choice for parents who want something different than the classic minivan silhouette. It features a long list of features and technology, designed to keep everyone entertained and happy. It is available with a hybrid powertrain.
Kia Niro
Looking for an affordable entry to a hybrid SUV? The Niro is Kia’s answer. With an affordable MSRP and a variety of powertrains, the Kia Niro is consistently one of our favorite SUVs. It comes in three flavors, with a standard hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and all-electric powertrain.
Kia EV6
The Kia EV6 is well-styled, spacious, and boasts plenty of features. As you might expect from the name, the EV6 is also all-electric. It’s earned rave reviews from drivers and critics alike, thanks in part to its impressive driving range and potent powertrains.
Kia EV9
Nothing stands out on the road quite like the Kia EV9, one of our most awarded vehicles. When it was released in 2024, the EV9 garnered rave reviews across the board thanks to its spacious interior, impressive range, and stylish design. That hasn’t changed in years since, as the EV9 continues to be one of the most awarded EVs in the industry.
Kia Telluride
As the Telluride enters 2027, it enters a new generation, with a focus on a comfortable, quiet cabin, a more upscale feel, and two high-quality powertrain options. The next-gen Telluride builds on the formula that’s dominated the industry since its inception, and as it enters its next generation, it remains at the top of Car and Driver’s rankings.
