Choosing the right vehicle for driving long distances is easy with our help here at Kia of Auburn.

Before you begin that long road trip, it’s important to have the right vehicle for the journey. Today we will take a look at various models of Kia cars and determine which one fits your road trip needs!

Which Kia Model Is Right for You?

Kia Rio

The Kia Rio starts with a low MSRP, making it one of the most affordable vehicles on the market today.  If you are just planning on doing small trips around town or short distances away from home then this might be exactly what you’re looking for. Despite having a smaller engine than other vehicles in its class, it can still produce up to 138 horsepower allowing even faster acceleration compared to other compact sedans in its class. Its fuel efficiency is also above average compared to other vehicles in its class. With the Rio, you can expect about 26 miles per gallon on city roads and 35 miles per gallon on highways.

Kia Forte

The Forte has a much more powerful engine than the Rio, with up to 162 horsepower available for drivers! Because of this added power, the Kia Forte is perfect for long-distance trips where getting somewhere quick will be important. However, because it has less cargo space than other compact vehicles in its class (it has 15 cubic feet of trunk space), passengers and cargo may need to be limited if making large road trips. If this doesn’t bother you though and power is what you’re looking for then we definitely recommend choosing the Forte as your next road trip car!

Kia Sportage

If you’re looking for a vehicle that can do it all, then the Sportage is perfect as it offers both great cargo space and power. In fact, this Kia has one of the most powerful engines in its class with up to 185 horsepower available to drivers! Its fuel efficiency isn’t bad either – depending on your speed, the Sportage can get about 20 miles per gallon on city roads and 26 miles per gallon on highways. It’s also great for taking family road trips thanks to its versatile interior design which provides more than enough room for passengers and luggage alike.
