Kia boasts an extensive vehicle roster, with cars and SUVs representing the industry's most popular segments. To help you determine the right fit for your Dallas-Fort Worth-area drives, here's a quick look at what each model has to offer.
To some, the Kia Soul is a small crossover; to others, it's a hatchback. But regardless of configuration, this quirky cube-shaped commuter puts the "fun" in functional. While similar quadrate competitors left the market years ago, the Kia Soul is still going strong, delivering impressive practicality with minimal space requirements. It offers comfortable and roomy accommodations, nimble driving dynamics, and a flexible cargo area (24.2 - 62.1 cubic feet). It also comes standard with Kia Drive Wise safety technologies. Notable upgrade options include heated front seats, Smart Key entry, Smart Cruise Control, and Harmon Kardon audio.
While technically part of the subcompact crossover class, the Kia Seltos is on the larger end of the segment. As such, it delivers excellent everyday practicality while retaining city-friendly maneuverability. The Seltos is powered by a 147-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder or a 195-horsepower 1.6-liter turbo-four (X-Line, SX) and offers cargo measurements of 26.6 to 62.8 cubic feet. All-wheel drive is available for the second and third trim levels (S, EX) and standard in all other tiers.
Standard features include an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and Kia Drive Wise® safety technologies like Forward Collision Avoidance-Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Driver Attention Warning, and Lane Keeping/Following Assist. Notable upgrades include a 10.25-inch touchscreen, heated/ventilated front seats, Smart Cruise Control w/ Stop & Go, and Bose premium audio.
The Kia Sportage has evolved into an exemplary compact crossover, delivering capacious and versatile accommodations, abundant amenities, and sharp styling for an exceptional value proposition. The Sportage boasts multiple powertrain configurations and 39.6 to 74.1 cubic feet of cargo space. It's also brimming with next-gen tech, including a full suite of standard driver aids, plus available upgrades like dual 12.3-inch displays, Highway Driving Assist, Blind-Spot View Monitor, and Harman Kardon premium sound.
Standard power comes from a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 187 horsepower, 178 pound-feet of torque, and an 8-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is standard in the rugged X-Line and X-Pro models and optional for other tiers. The Kia Sportage Hybrid produces 227 horsepower/258 pound-feet of torque and achieves impressive efficiency, while the Kia Sport Plug-in Hybrid (261 horsepower) enables an EPA-estimated 34 miles of electric-only range.1
The Kia Sorento has long been a compelling option among midsize crossovers, offering attractive accommodations, value-packed trim levels, and stylish curb appeal. As one of the few three-row SUVs its size, the Sorento is ideal for Dallas-Fort Worth families who need extra seatbelts without imposing space requirements. A recent midcycle refresh makes the Sorento even more appealing, with a more upscale look, upgraded infotainment, and more off-road capability for X-Pro models.
The Kia Sorento has the same base engine as the Sportage (tuned for 191 horsepower/181 pound-feet of torque). However, EX and higher grades add a turbocharger to the mix, boosting output to 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. It's also available in two electric-assisted variants, the 227-horsepower Kia Sorento Hybrid and a 261-horsepower Kia Sorento Plug-in Hybrid model with 32 miles of EPA-estimated electric-only range.1
The Kia Telluride first launched for the 2020 model year and immediately set the standard for midsize three-row SUVs. Renowned for providing a class-above experience in a mainstream segment, the Kia Telluride has earned Car and Driver 10Best recognition every year of its production (2020 - 2024) with 10/10 ratings each time. Kia's largest SUV is refined, capable, and versatile, offering attractive, spacious accommodations, a punchy 3.8-liter V6 engine (291 horsepower), and up to 87 cubic feet of cargo space. Standard amenities include a 12.3-inch navigation touchscreen, dual-zone automatic climate control, leatherette upholstery, and Kia Drive Wise technologies.
If you like the Kia Seltos's size and style and want something even more efficient, you'll love the Kia Niro. It offers cozy, generously equipped accommodations, ample passenger space, and a flexible cargo area with 22.8 cubic feet behind the second row and 63.7 cubic feet behind the first. It also boasts sleek, futuristic styling and cutting-edge tech to match, including dual 10.25-inch touchscreens, Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control, automated parking assistance, and Digital Key 2.0 (phone-as-a-key).
The Kia Niro Hybrid uses a battery-assisted 1.6-liter four-cylinder (139 horsepower/195 pound-feet of torque) to achieve an EPA-estimated 49 to 53 mpg (combined city/highway) with 18-inch or 16-inch wheels, respectively. The Niro Plug-in Hybrid (180 horsepower/195 pound-feet of torque) utilizes a more potent 62-kW electric motor and a larger battery to deliver an estimated 108 MPGe (miles-per-gallon equivalent) and 33 miles of electric-only range.1
The Kia Niro EV generates a front-wheel-driving 201 horsepower and achieves an EPA-estimated 253 miles of range.1 However, as mileage varies depending on various conditions, Edmunds reviewers managed 280 miles in their independent testing.
The Kia EV6 is among the most well-rounded and appealing electric vehicles currently on sale, evidenced by its many accolades, including North 2023 American Utility Vehicle of the Year™, 2023 World Performance Car, and 2023 Car and Driver 10Best awards. The EV6 is stylish, athletic, and impressively accommodating. It offers roomy and refined accommodations, 24.4 - 50.2 cubic feet of cargo capacity, and up to 310 miles of EPA-estimated range.1 It's also available as a high-performance variant with 576 horsepower, adaptive suspension, and a limited-sleep rear differential.
The EV6 is generously equipped, including dual-panoramic 12.3-inch displays, driver memory, and a comprehensive standard driver-assist roster. It can also be configured for luxury, with heated and ventilated seats, 14-speaker Meridian audio, premium leatherette upholstery, and more.
The EV9 is Kia's newest electric vehicle, expanding on the EV6's successful formula with classy and spacious 7-passenger accommodations, expansive cargo capacity (max: 81.7 cubic feet), ultra-fast charging capability, and up to 304 miles of range.1 It's futuristic outside, premium inside, and one of the industry's first EVs truly suited to larger families. But don't take our word for it. The Kia EV9 immediately captured Car and Driver 10Best recognition in its first year of production (2024).
A standout compact car, the Kia Forte distinguishes itself with sharp styling, a roomy cabin, and desirable amenities. It's accommodating, economical, and well-equipped with standard technologies like wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and Kia Drive Wise driver aids. It's also available in a sporty GT variant with 201 horsepower, sport-tuned suspension and exhaust, and available six-speed manual transmission.
With its aggressive styling, engaging drivability, and generous equipment list, the Kia K5 proves a midsize family sedan doesn't have to be boring. It offers roomy accommodations, a sizable trunk, and optional all-wheel drive. Are you looking to enliven your Irving commute? The performance-oriented K5 GT boasts a 290-horsepower engine, an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, sport-tuned suspension, and quad-outlet exhaust.
While it technically belongs in the minivan category, the Kia Carnival delivers an experience all its own, leading Kia to refer to it as an MPV (multi-purpose vehicle). Regardless of label, the Carnival transcends the competition with outstanding accommodations, well-balanced handling, a potent 290-horsepower V6 engine, and distinctive SUV-like styling. It offers abundant practicality, including numerous small-item storage options and one of the segment's largest cargo areas - 40.2 cubic feet behind the third row, 145.1 cubic feet behind the first.
The Kia Carnival offers family-friendly technologies like Rear Seat Quiet Mode, a cabin camera monitor, and an in-car PA system. It's also configurable for premium luxury with heated/ventilated first and second-row seats, a hands-free liftgate, three-zone automatic climate control, and power-adjustable, reclining second-row captain's chairs.
