Kia SUV Interior Space & Features

  • Seating Capacity: Kia's Sportage and Seltos models are two-row vehicles that offer roomy seating for up to five occupants. The three-row 2022 Kia Telluride boasts 8-passenger seating as standard, while the Sorento provides 7-passenger seating in its three rows. While the Sorento and Telluride are both classified as mid-size SUVs and have three-row seating, the Telluride is the optimal choice for large families that will make frequent use of third-row seating.
  • Cargo Volume: Each of these Kia SUVs boasts impressive standard cargo capacity, which is measured when all seats are in the upright position. When you compare the cargo area dimensions behind each model's first row of seats, you find that these models rank in cargo capacity the same as in their size. While the Telluride and Sorento boast greater cargo capacity than the Sportage and Seltos, even the compact Seltos still holds its own against its Kia stablemates, as well as its nearest competition from other automakers.
  • Cabin Flexibility: All of these Kia sport-utes feature split-folding rear seating that lets motorists quickly configure the cabin for any combination of passengers and cargo.
  • Infotainment & Connectivity: With large touchscreen displays and smartphone integration via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, the lineup of Kia SUVs is primed to deliver a seamless and connected on-road experience for every driver. Even passengers can get in on the cabin connectivity with USB ports and Bluetooth wireless technology.

Kia SUV Performance & Capability

  • Engine: Kia's Seltos small SUV prioritizes fuel economy and comes equipped with a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that lets you cruise efficiently; a 1.6-liter turbo-four engine is an available upgrade. The 2022 Sportage comes standard with a 2.4-liter engine, but you can upgrade to a 240-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Sorento shoppers have a choice of 2.5-liter inline-four engines: a naturally-aspirated or turbocharged version. Six cylinders power every 2022 Telluride, courtesy of Kia's 3.8-liter V6.
  • Drivetrain: All of these Kia SUVs come standard with front-wheel drive (FWD) but can be equipped with power driving all four wheels. Kia's famed Dynamax™ AWD system monitors and controls torque distribution in models like the Seltos and Sportage to maximize traction in all road and weather conditions.
  • Towing Capability: If you're searching for a compact SUV that can tow up to 2,000 pounds with confidence, you've found it in Kia's Sportage and Seltos models. However, if you need even more towing capability, then look no further than the Sorento and its max towing rating of 3,500 pounds, or the V6-powered Telluride, which tows up to 5,000 pounds with ease.

Kia Drive Wise

  • Availability: Kia Drive Wise safety technologies and driver-assistance systems are featured as standard on each of these new Kia SUVs for sale. The following features are part of Kia's comprehensive package of advanced safety systems.
  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist: This exclusive Kia technology can help bring your SUV to a stop with automatic emergency braking if a potential front collision is detected.
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning: This system utilizes visual and audible alerts to warn of traffic that's detected coming from either side when you’re in reverse gear.
  • Smart Cruise Control w/ Stop and Go: Maintain a set following distance behind the car ahead with adaptive cruise control. The Stop and Go function can slow your vehicle to a stop before accelerating once traffic in front of you clears.
  • Lane Following Assist: Highway cruising is made more stress-free with this technology that helps keep your Kia SUV centered in its intended lane.
