Kia Sedans

While sedan sales are declining as Americans flock to buy crossovers, there are still a few Kia sedan models left in the US.

What to Consider When Buying Kia Sedans

Despite the growing popularity of other body styles, sedans remain a good choice for those who want a cheap commuter or possibly a sporty daily driver. Since this is one of the older configurations, there are still plenty of automakers that offer at least one or two options, so competition is firm, but Kia sedans stand out from the rest in a number of ways.

Pros

Very good value for the money
Among the best warranty coverage on the market
High standard equipment levels
Modern infotainment systems even on base cars

Cons

Handling is unengaging at best
Ride quality can generally be a little too firm
CVT transmissions can be somewhat inert

FAQs

What are the best Kia sedan cars?

If you are looking for a cheap and dependable everyday car, then the compact Rio or Forte are both excellent choices, but if you want a car that has a little fizz and fun on offer, the Stinger is the way to go.

How much does a new Kia sedan cost?

The small Rio or Forte start at less than $20,000, but a larger model like the K5 will cost you around $25k. Meanwhile, the more performance-biased Stinger is a little pricey at close to $40k.

Does Kia have a sports sedan?

The fastest car in the Kia line is the Stinger, but calling it a legitimate sports car is a bit too ambitious. The base engine is good and it comes with rear-wheel drive as standard, but the 368-horsepower V6 gives it some real performance chops, while the available AWD improves handling. With a 0-60 mph time of just over five seconds and a top speed of 130 mph, it is the fastest sedan from the automaker.

Does Kia have a hybrid sedan?

Sadly, the Korean brand no longer offers a hybrid vehicle in this segment.

Are any Kia sedans luxurious?

While the top-tier trims of the K5 and Stinger models can supply buyers with a high-quality interior and a certain number of luxury features, there is no car that would be classified as a premium sedan in the lineup.
