Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which is better for a family: the Kia Sorento or Kia Sportage?
It depends on your family size! If you have one or two children and want exceptional fuel economy for your daily commute, the 5-passenger Kia Sportage is an excellent choice. If you have a larger family, regularly participate in carpools, or need a third row of seating, the Kia Sorento is the better option.
Is the Kia EV9 worth it compared to luxury electric SUVs?
Absolutely. The Kia EV9 offers the same (or better) three-row passenger space, advanced driver-assistance technology, and all-electric range as luxury competitors like the Rivian R1S or Tesla Model X, but comes at a significantly more accessible price point and is backed by Kia’s legendary 10-year/100,000-mile warranty.
How do I know which Kia powertrain is right for me?
If you take long road trips frequently, a traditional gas model might be best. If you want to save money on your daily commute without worrying about charging, look into our Hybrid models. If you want zero emissions and can charge at home in Las Vegas, an EV like the EV9 or EV6 is a perfect fit. Learn more in our Family & Lifestyle Buying Guide.
