The Kia Niro
Subcompact SUVs are highly favored among city commuters and first-time vehicle buyers. The vehicle class offers the practical aspects of an SUV, such as generous seating and storage space, yet is small enough to provide agile performance and fuel economy that’s on par with a sedan. The Kia Niro is one of the brand’s ideal subcompact offerings that any driver will enjoy.
The Niro is an FWD-exclusive SUV, making it ideal for the city commuter who enjoys saving money at the pump. The impressive fuel economy has been one of the Niro’s hallmarks since its introduction. With plug-in hybrid (PHEV) options available, drivers will have no trouble choosing a used model that allows them to travel much farther for less.
The Niro also features many of the pragmatic aspects of the SUV class. Seating for five and generous cargo room make for a vehicle that checks many of the boxes regarding consumer demand. An available infotainment screen that spans over 10 inches also keeps drivers connected during travel.
The Kia Seltos
Another subcompact SUV from Kia, the Seltos, is just as pragmatic as the Niro. Offering the same agile performance that city commuters find enjoyable, the Seltos boasts additional advantages that make it a trusted choice among recreational enthusiasts. If you spend time in the city but love getting away from it all during your downtime, the Seltos gives you the best of both worlds.
A notable difference between the Niro and Seltos is the availability of AWD. Unlike the FWD-exclusive Niro, the Seltos can engage in light off-roading. Trims like the X-Line are specifically formulated for this purpose. The Seltos also comes with two available engines that offer remarkable performance for a subcompact SUV. For example, a 2024 Kia Seltos can be equipped with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 195 hp.
In addition to its enhanced performance and off-road readiness, the Seltos is also designed to be highly practical. Recent Seltos models offer over 62.8 cu.ft. of storage and seat five comfortably. Like any used Kia SUV, multiple features are in place to ensure a connected and safe commute.
The Kia Sportage
Compact SUVs are the ideal middle ground between subcompact and three-row models. Compact SUVs typically offer generous storage space comparable to that of larger SUVs, while still retaining the economical performance and agile handling characteristic of the subcompact class. The Kia Sportage offers many of the attributes found in the Niro and Seltos, with enhanced capability.
Like the Niro, the Kia Sportage is available in hybrid and PHEV versions, making it perfectly suited for the commuter who prioritizes fuel economy in their vehicle purchase. Similar to the Seltos, the Sportage also comes with available AWD, enabling drivers to handle various road conditions and participate in recreational activities.
The agile performance of the Kia Sportage is complemented by capabilities that aren’t found on the Niro and Seltos. Models from as far back as 2023 are equipped with a 2.5L four-cylinder engine, which permits a 2,500-lb towing capacity. Other versions are equally capable, with the hybrid and PHEV models boasting the ability to tow up to 2,000 lbs.
The Sportage offers remarkable performance that joins its pragmatic advantages. A 2024 non-hybrid or PHEV Sportage offers over 74.1 cu.ft of cargo space. Therefore, a used Sportage is an ideal choice for drivers who frequently find themselves on the go and require additional storage space.
The Kia Telluride
Compact and subcompact SUVs have gained significant popularity in recent years. However, there will always be a need for larger three-row models that permit maximum seating, storage, and performance. Kia offers a variety of larger three-row models that provide drivers with the advantages of the class segment, complemented by the ingenuity and design that have long been associated with the brand.
The Kia Telluride offers drivers the ideal trifecta of cargo, passenger room, and capability that many seek. With the availability of second-row captain’s chairs, the Telluride offers seating for seven or eight passengers. Three-row SUVs have always been sought out for their generous cargo room. With over 87 cu.ft. at your disposal, the Telluride gives drivers plenty of room for anything, whether you’re picking up groceries or moving across town.
In addition to the generous seating and storage, the Telluride offers performance that’s just as impressive. A 2024 Kia Telluride is equipped with the brand’s most capable gas-powered engine, a V6 that produces 291 hp. The Telluride also offers the best towing capability, with the ability to pull 5,500 lbs.
In addition to its pragmatic aspects and performance, the Telluride is built from the ground up to fulfill the needs of the modern family. A 12.3-inch infotainment system ensures connectivity. Like all of Kia’s SUVs, numerous driving assistance features provide protection and oversight when it matters most.
The Kia Sorento
Many drivers need a three-row SUV but are also wary about aspects such as fuel economy. Kia has addressed these concerns with the Sorento, a three-row SUV that offers options for optimal seating and storage while also reducing fuel costs. Kia’s three-row offering exemplifies what the brand does best– perfectly addressing the changing needs of commuters everywhere.
Like the Telluride, the Sorento offers three rows of seating to ensure comfort for both passengers and drivers. With 75.5 cu.ft. of storage room and select versions having the ability to tow 4,500 lbs, the Sorento’s capability is on par with the Telluride. It also shares the same infotainment system.
However, the Sorento has a notable advantage over the Telluride in terms of fuel economy. It’s one of the few three-row models in its class with hybrid and PHEV versions available. The FWD hybrid version of the 2024 Sorento offers 37 MPG combined. Meanwhile, PHEV versions from the same year give drivers 32 miles of electric-only driving. You won’t just have room for passengers and cargo, but the ability to go farther for less.
