Kia Sportage Family
The Kia Sportage, Sportage Hybrid, and Sportage Plug-In Hybrid offer up different trim level names, but share many of their technology and safety features. All three SUVs in the Kia Sportage family come with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, a safety system that detects potential hazards and can automatically apply the brakes. Store valuables beneath the dual-level cargo floor, conquer crisp mornings with Auto De-Fog, and keep tabs on music, media, and fuel level with two front digital displays.
Kia Sorento Family
This Kia SUV, manufactured in USA's Georgia plant, comes with heated side-view mirrors that can keep ice scrapers out of your hand in winter, and rear A/C vents quickly cool the kids on hot summer days. No matter what season it is, our favorite standard feature is the One-Touch Sliding and Folding second-row seat function that all but eliminates the stress of helping every kid buckle. Choose an upper-level Kia Sorento, Sorento Hybrid, or Sorento Plug-In Hybrid trim to enjoy ventilated front seats, genuine leather upholstery, and a Bose® premium audio system.
Kia Telluride
Another stunning SUV crafted at the Kia Georgia plant is the three-row Telluride. This sport-ute's namesake is a premier Colorado city full of historic charm and stunning scenery, and the Telluride fits that description perfectly. Its interior feels familiar yet modern, and the rugged yet sculptural Telluride exterior pays homage to its mountainous surroundings. Hill-Start Assist Control and Downhill Brake Control come standard for the ultimate control on steep inclines, as do heated and ventilated front seats in nearly every trim. Plus, separate rear climate controls let the kids snooze in cozy warmth while the adults enjoy some cool air up front.
Kia EV6
Need the fuel savings of an electrified crossover with advanced cabin and safety technology? The new Kia EV6 gives you a luxe cabin experience thanks to dual 12.3-inch digital displays and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Other standard amenities include heated front seats, heated side mirrors, Auto D-Fog, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and auto rain-sensing windshield wipers. Upper Kia EV6 trims feature a Wide Sunroof for those blue-sky days and sport pedals to match your confident attitude.
Kia EV9
Fully electric and fully ready for your large or growing family, the Kia EV9 takes three-row style to new heights. Take home this Kia all-electric SUV to enjoy an innovative Cabin Talk system – a must-have amenity for travel with kiddos. Every Kia EV9 trim also showcases heated and ventilated front seats, dual 12.3-inch digital screens, and a 5-inch climate display. Your cabin can also be cord-free thanks to wireless Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and smartphone charging.
