If you're looking for a new SUV in Raleigh or Millbrook, then the Kia SUV lineup can't be missed. With options for every lifestyle, the Kia SUV lineup includes the compact Seltos and Sportage, the midsize Sorento, and the roomy Telluride. Take a look at how the new Kia SUVs stack up.
The Kia Seltos is an all-new model in the Kia SUV lineup. It offers class-leading cargo space and a rear seat that can fit adults. Most models have AWD, and most models also have an active safety feature suite. The Seltos is a city-friendly subcompact SUV, but it has plenty of rugged styling as well. Along with AWD, the Seltos features a locking center differential and decent ground clearance. The Seltos comes with two engine choices in the 2.0-liter four-cylinder that makes 146 horsepower and a turbo 1.6-liter that makes 175 horsepower. The combined fuel economy for the LX and EX trims with the 2.0-liter engine is 29 MPG. The combined fuel economy for the S 2.0 trim averages 31 MPG. The top trims of the S 1.6 and the SX with the turbo four offer 27 MPG combined fuel economy.
The Sorento sits in the popular midsize SUV class but is on the smaller end of the scale, which allows it to be more maneuverable in urban conditions. The entry-level Sorento trims come with a standard four-cylinder engine that puts out 185 horsepower. Moving up to the S trim offers a 3.3-liter V6 engine that puts out 290 horsepower. The base engine comes with a six-speed automatic transmission, while the six-cylinder comes with an eight-speed automatic. FWD is standard, but you can add AWD on all models above the base trim. The city/highway fuel economy on the four-cylinder is 22/29 MPG with the FWD layout and 21/26 with AWD. The V6 gets 19/26 with FWD and 18/24 with AWD. The Sorento can be outfitted to tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.
The compact Sportage offers plenty to like for drivers across the board with two choices of engine, driver-assist features, standard eight-inch touch screen, and one of the best powertrain warranties available at ten years or 100,000 miles. The standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine has plenty of horsepower at 181, but you can also move up to the 240-horsepower turbo 2.0-liter for some extra energy. Both engines come with a six-speed automatic transmission. AWD is optional on all Sportage trims, while FWD is standard. The city/highway fuel economy for the 2.4-liter engine is 23/30 MPG with FWD and 22/26 with AWD. The fuel economy for the turbo 2.0-liter is 20/28 city/highway with FWD and 19/24 with AWD. The Sportage can also be equipped to tow up to 2,000 pounds.
The Telluride offers the roomy, three-row styling that American families love. It features seating for eight people, plus a standard 3.8-liter V6 engine and available AWD. The Telluride has an eye-catching design that feels more like a luxury SUV than the average family-hauler. With plenty of standard safety features, plus driver-assistance features, the Telluride competes easily with other popular SUVs in its segment. The Telluride offers 21 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row. If you fold the third row down, then the cargo space is doubled at about 46 cubic feet. Four trim levels are available on the Telluride in the LX, S, EX, and SX. The top SX trim offers a dual sunroof, LED fog lights, and headlights, plus 20-inch, dark finish aluminum wheels. Fuel economy on the Telluride is 20/26 MPG city/highway with a FWD model and 19/24 MPG on an AWD model.
