The Kia SUV range

There are 4 main types of SUVs in Australia. They are:

- Light SUVs (Kia Stonic)

- Small SUVs (Kia Seltos)

- Medium SUVs (Kia Sportage)

- Large SUVs (Kia Sorento)

The main difference between SUV categories is the overall size, however other factors such as the engine size and power output can be considered.

Medium and large SUVs typically have greater towing and cargo capacities and are designed to handle more adventures. 

Small and light SUVs are typically well suited to city driving with better fuel efficiency and with increased interior comfort over a regular car.

Crossovers take the best features of both regular cars and SUVs. They are usually more similar to a regular car in the way that they drive due to their only slightly raised ride height, but typically feature more rugged SUV styling and spaciousness. 

Examples of a crossover SUV is the Kia Stonic & Kia EV6 – our latest electric crossover SUV, which is the perfect embodiment of the crossover concept. 

Kia SUVs typically have a variety of features that make them the ideal vehicles for families:

- Safety: SUVs are packed with safety features like Lane Keep Assist, Autonomous Emergency Braking and plenty of airbags to give you and your family total peace of mind when on the road.

- Comfort: With spacious interiors often equipped with third-row seating, SUVs provide the ultimate in luxury for all your passengers. Most modern SUVs also have air vents for rear passengers and can even feature heated & ventilated seats for front passengers to provide comfort all year round.

- Cargo capacity: Depending on the model the second or third-row seats fold back down, uncovering additional cargo space. Meaning you can pack everything you need and more for family road trips. 

- Technology: Many SUVs have wide-screen infotainment displays, along with powerful sound systems and additional rear USB ports to make your journey smooth and keep the family entertained throughout.
