Kia’s SUV models are equally reliable but still quite different in ways that suit any driver. The Sportage is ideal for people who want a sporty car with an athletic feel while still retaining the practicality of an SUV. The Sorento is best for people who care less about sportiness than they do about ruggedness, but who still need the space and handling to handle a large family and limited driving areas, like cities. The Soul is a great choice for people who want a fun economy SUV.
Kia Sportage
At first, the main draw of the Kia Sportage was that it had the same perks of other SUVs but without the overly big size. Now, the Kia Sportage has the practicality of an SUV with the handling of a regular passenger car. The Sportage is considered a crossover SUV. It has sharp, athletic steering and handling, making it something of a welcome misnomer - a sporty SUV. The Sportage is fun to drive and highly responsive, plus sleek and great looking.

Kia Sorento
When the Kia Sorento was first introduced to the market, its most notable quality was its truck-like design that was more rugged than other similar SUVs. It’s off-roading and towing abilities were above-average for an SUV and today’s Sorentos are even more impressive than they were in the beginning. New Kia Sorentos are great options if you want a smaller mid-size crossover SUV. They have roomy interiors, third-row seating and a fantastic warranty. While handling and steering aren’t sporty, the Sorento is able enough to be a safe, reliable family vehicle. When you maneuver in parking lots or along city streets, you’ll be surprised that the Sorento feels smaller than it is, making you feel like you have plenty of control and handling.
