With distinctive styling and plenty of high-tech features, the Soul is a great fit for young families, couples, and solo drivers alike. Its available 1.6-liter turbocharged engine channels 201 horsepower through a smooth-shifting seven-speed dual-clutch transmission for a spirited ride.

Upgrade to the 10.25-inch infotainment display for even more high-tech convenience, including navigation and SiriusXM® Satellite Radio. But the connectivity features don’t stop there — you can also connect with the Kia Access app for remote starting and climate control capabilities, roadside assistance, and Amazon Alexa voice commands.
The Kia Seltos delivers a fun ride alongside plenty of family-friendly versatility. This capable SUV comes standard with a 2.0- liter inline-four engine that balances power and efficiency, but you can also opt for a 1.6-liter inline-four turbo mill, which delivers 175 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. And for even more confidence on the road, the Seltos comes standard with Dynamax™ All-Wheel Drive.
Its intelligent features don’t stop there. Every Seltos comes standard loaded with advanced safety technologies, including Forward Collision Avoidance, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist, Driver Attention Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, and Rear Occupant Alert to remind you of any pets or little ones in the back seat. On top of that, it comes standard with helpful connected technologies including Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and an intuitive touch-screen display. Upgrade for available navigation and more driver-assist tools, like Safe Exit Assist and Highway Driving Assist.
Of course, the 2022 Kia Seltos doesn’t neglect your comfort. It offers heated front seats, automatic climate control, and a Bose® premium sound system. And behind the back seats, the Seltos can accommodate up to 26.6 cubic feet of cargo. Fold all of the seats down to reveal a maximum storage capacity of 62.8 cubic feet.
The adventurous 2022 Kia Sportage boasts a redesigned exterior for the latest model year, along with a host of newly standard driver-assist technologies. Every 2022 Sportage now boasts the Kia Drive Wise safety suite, which includes Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Driver Attention Warning, Blind-Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning, and Lane-Keeping Assist.
And when it comes to performance, the Sportage delivers. It comes standard with a 2.4-liter inline-four that offers 181 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. But if you’re looking for a more thrilling ride, go with the available turbo engine that unleashes 240 horsepower and up to 260 lb-ft of torque. Both mills pair with a six-speed automatic Transmission with Sportmatic®.
The Sportage is just as impressive on the inside. This athletic SUV offers available heated and ventilated front seats, wireless smartphone charging capabilities, and dual-zone automatic climate control. And in terms of spaciousness, it offers 30.7 cubic feet of space behind the back row, or up to 60.1 cubic feet with all of the seats folded flat.
The 2022 Kia Niro is an excellent crossover for shoppers seeking something small, practical, and affordable. With a starting price of under $25,000 and a long list of standard features, it delivers more value than just about any other comparable vehicle. Additionally, the hybrid model ensures you continue saving over many years to come with an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 50 mpg combined.* You’ll be hard-pressed finding a more efficient vehicle of the Niro’s size.
Standard features include dual-zone climate control, rear occupant alert, and an 8-inch infotainment display with wireless Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® smartphone integration. But while the Niro’s main appeal is value, it can nonetheless be optioned to have a genuine luxury appeal. The top-of-the-line Niro EX premium comes with heated and ventilated front seats, a wireless phone charger, and a heated steering wheel. The slightly more affordable Touring Special Edition also adds a 10.25-inch display with built-in navigation as well as leather seating trim and an eight-speaker premium sound system by Harman Kardon®.
Though you can get even more features with some of the other vehicles in the 2022 Kia SUV lineup, the Niro serves as a good introduction to the Kia brand for more budget-conscious buyers.
2022 Kia Sorento
Fully redesigned for the 2021 model year, the Kia Sorento carries over into 2022 with all of the same segment-leading features. Under the hood, this midsize SUV boasts a standard 191-horsepower engine, an optional 281-horsepower turbo, or a 227-horsepower hybrid powertrain. This last setup makes the Sorento the most fuel efficient vehicle in its class: it gets about 39 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway.*
The 2022 Sorento is loaded with standard safety technologies bundled into the Kia DRIVE WiSE suite. It includes lane-following assistance, automatic emergency braking, blind spot recognition, and rear occupant alert, among a few other features. Optional safety tech includes a surround view monitor, highway driving assistance, cyclist detection, and more. When it comes to safety, the Sorento certainly doesn’t compromise.
On higher trim levels, the Sorento looks not unlike a sci-fi command center. With its 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, 10.3-inch infotainment touch screen, rhombus-shaped air vents with integrated ambient lighting, and pristine stitching details, the Sorento’s interior is as impressive as it is comfortable — particularly if you opt for the second-row captain’s chairs.
The Telluride is Kia’s flagship SUV. Consistently voted as one of the best SUVs you can buy today by industry experts and journalists, the three-row 2022 Telluride is spacious, enjoyable to drive, packed with useful features, and affordable compared to its rivals.
Inside the Telluride, there’s plenty of room for adults anywhere they choose to sit, including in the third-row seat. Headroom and legroom are generous. In fact, the interior might seem so spacious that parents might have trouble getting their voice to carry to children all the way in the back. To remedy this, the 2022 Telluride comes with standard Driver Talk technology. At the press of a button on the steering wheel, your voice will be amplified through the rear speakers, making it easier to communicate with your passengers.
There’s lots of space for luggage as well. According to independent testing by Car and Driver, you can fit four carry-on suitcases behind the third row and a whopping 35 suitcases behind the first row if you fold both back rows flat.
Every Telluride is extremely well equipped. Standard features include an upgraded 10.25-inch split-screen infotainment system with built-in navigation, five USB ports, and satellite radio. That’s not to mention the bevy of advanced safety technologies and excellent material quality. The list of options is very long.
