Kia SUV vs. Kia Sedan: What Works for You?

Kia’s range of cars is one of the most versatile lineups you’ll find. Whether you’re in the market for something bigger with plenty of cargo space like the Sportage, something small that can dart around town like the Stinger, or just good old bang for your buck like the Soul, Kia has you covered.

What Works for You, an SUV, or a Sedan?

Compact SUVs: Kia Sportage

The Sportage’s slick interior and class-leading cargo space are dazzling, so if you’re looking for a roomy ride, this may be your dream car, with 39.6 cubic feet of cargo room behind the rear seats, and 74.1 cubic feet with the seats folded down, which means you can seriously load up the trunk. Confident handling, the ability to do some light off-roading, and a towing capacity of up to 2,500 pounds make this an excellent all-rounder vehicle.

Subcompact SUVs: Kia Soul, Kia Seltos

The Kia Soul is known for being an affordable crossover that boasts plenty of standard features, excellent cabin room, and impressive tech. The Seltos is very similar but starts at a higher price point due to its upmarket flourishes, available all-wheel drive, and powerful engine options. Both cars offer more than 24 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and more than 62 cubic feet with the seats down.

Midsize SUVs: Kia Sorento, Kia Telluride

Few cars tick all the boxes for a midsize SUV, but the Sorento is exemplary due to its fantastic power, elegant ground clearance, and confident handling. With three rows of seating and an upscale interior, there’s a lot to love. The Telluride is equally family-friendly but with a higher-end cabin, more cargo room, and a roomier third row. It is, however, the more expensive option. Both vehicles come standard with smartphone connectivity and a six-speaker stereo.

Sedans and Hatchbacks: Kia Forte, Kia K5, Kia Rio, Kia Stinger

The Forte impresses with a spacious cabin that’s as handsome as it is well-built. A large trunk and many available features, including a 10.25-inch touchscreen and an eight-speaker audio system, make it a winner. The value-packed midsize sedan K5 is known for its comfortable seating, roomy cabin, and above-average trunk space. It’s a smooth drive that feels reliable and secure as you hit the open road.

The Kia Rio is available as both a subcompact sedan and hatchback body style. The Rio 5-door car is smaller but has ample head and legroom. Both offer excellent fuel economy and an outstanding infotainment system. Finally, there’s the delightful-to-drive Stinger. While this aerodynamic car looks like another sedan, it’s a hatchback. It’s built with high-end materials that give the feeling of a luxury car without the hefty price tag.
