Kia vehicles are more popular with drivers than ever before, thanks to their modern styling, capable performance, and innovative features. The Kia lineup has something for everyone, including practical sedans, efficient hybrid and electric vehicles, and adventure-ready SUVs. For shoppers looking to make their car budget go further, a used Kia offers the best of both, combining new-car features with a used-car price.
Pre-Owned Kia Features You’ll Love
Kia is a leader in innovation and technology in the automotive industry, incorporating new features into its vehicles earlier than many other manufacturers. This means that you can find many great new-car features on used Kia models, such as Drive Wise driver assistance technologies. These features include automatic braking to prevent a collision, corrective steering to keep you in your lane, and more. You’ll find Drive Wise technologies on recent Kia models starting with the 2017 model year.
Many modern Kia vehicles also have advanced convenience features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These technologies provide a seamless connection between your compatible smartphone and your Kia’s infotainment system, so you can listen to music from your phone, receive messages, or view directions at a glance. Some Kia vehicles included these technologies as early as the 2014 model year.
The Value of Pre-Owned
A new vehicle can lose 20% or more of its value in the first year of ownership, and as much as 60% after 5 years. While this is a loss for a new-car owner, it’s a discount for a used-car buyer. When you purchase a pre-owned Kia, you’ll enjoy exciting Kia features and performance, minus the depreciation. Because the replacement cost of a used car is lower than a new model, your insurance rates may be lower on a pre-owned vehicle as well.
The Best used Kia for You
Kia’s selection of vehicles includes large SUVs, small sedans, and everything in between. The Soul is Kia’s small SUV with a big personality, and the Sportage is a capable SUV that’s available with off-road features and a hybrid powertrain. The Optima, K5, and Forte are all great options for drivers who prefer a sedan. No matter whether a large or small vehicle is right for you, look for a Kia that’s in good mechanical condition and has been properly maintained.
