Kia went from budget brand to design leader without giving up the value math: sharp pricing, the industry's best powertrain warranty at 10 years or 100,000 miles, and standouts in nearly every segment, from the $23K K4 to the three-row Telluride and EV9.
The Forte's replacement looks like it costs twice the price: fastback styling, a huge dual-screen cockpit, and a new hatchback body style joining for 2026.
The fastback midsize sedan that still believes in style: available AWD, a big-screen cabin, and a 290 hp GT at the top.
With the Soul retired, the Seltos is Kia's most affordable SUV: boxy practicality, available AWD, and a new lower-priced LX FWD trim for 2026.
Freshly restyled for 2026 with one of the deepest trim walks in the class: gas, hybrid, or plug-in, street or trail, your call.
Three rows in a right-sized package: the Sorento slots under the Telluride with gas, hybrid, and plug-in power, plus a rugged X-Pro trim.
The SUV that changed how people see Kia: an awards-shelf favorite with three real rows, upscale cabin, and honest value. An all-new generation is on deck, which makes current models prime negotiation territory.
Refreshed for 2026 with Kia's latest design language and a dual-screen cabin. The hybrid clears 50 mpg; the Niro EV adds 253 miles of electric range. The plug-in hybrid version is discontinued.
The swoopy, 800-volt EV that charges from 10 to 80 percent in under 20 minutes on a fast charger, now built in Georgia with a native NACS port for Tesla Superchargers. The 641 hp GT is on pause for the US.
The first mainstream three-row EV done right: up to 304 miles of range, seating for seven, 5,000 lbs of towing, and Supercharger access via its NACS port.
The minivan that dresses like an SUV: sliding doors, seating for eight, and an available hybrid at 33 mpg. Family math, Kia priced.
The first-ever Seltos HEV joins the redesigned, Telluride-inspired lineup, with a Kia-first electric all-wheel drive on a hybrid SUV.
Future model details come from manufacturer announcements and press reports; timing, specs, and availability can change.
The 10 year / 100,000 mile coverage applies to the powertrain: engine, transmission, and drive components. The rest of the vehicle carries 5 year / 60,000 mile basic coverage. Key caveat: the full 10-year powertrain term belongs to the original owner. Buy used, and powertrain coverage for second and later owners drops to 5 years / 60,000 miles.
No. Kia's warranty is the longest in the business, but scheduled maintenance is on you from day one. Factor roughly the cost of oil changes and tire rotations into your ownership budget, or negotiate a dealer maintenance package.
Kia retired the Soul after the 2025 model year. Its natural replacements in the lineup are the Seltos, which is now Kia's most affordable SUV, the new K4 hatchback, and the Niro hybrid.
The Telluride is the bigger, plusher family flagship with the roomier third row. The Sorento is easier to park, cheaper, and the only one offering hybrid and plug-in hybrid power. If the third row is for adults every day, go Telluride. If it is for occasional use and you want better mpg, go Sorento.
Yes. Current EV6 and EV9 models come with a native NACS charge port that plugs straight into most Tesla Superchargers, and adapters cover CCS stations. Both also use 800-volt architecture, so on a compatible fast charger they are among the quickest-charging EVs sold.
