Kia SUV
SUV Reviewer
The Kia SUV started as a design that was to reach the masses. With tighter budgets some families wanted all of the features that the SUV offered but didn't want to have to sell their homes in order to be part of the SUV trend. The Kia SUV solved this problem by introducing the budget minded SUV for the family. Having merged with Hyundai in the middle to late 90s the Kia family has seen a greater improvement in its quality and customer satisfaction.
The Kia SUV line up has included the Sportage, the Rondo, the Borrego, the Soul, and the Sorento. The Borrego lasted a single model year. The Rondo was not really considered to be an SUV crossover by most consumers and didn't do well in the minivan market either. The practical member of the Kia SUV family was the Sorento.
The Kia Sorento blasted onto the budget minded market with a great deal of rugged SUV features and a crossover styling. The Kia SUV was considered to be hardy, durable, and loaded with towing capacity that out performed many vehicles in its class. The car undercarriage was delivered with the second generation of Sorentos, which helped to improve consumer interest. The base model offered many features that others were only offering as options. This included tilt and telescoping steering, Bluetooth, air conditioning, allow wheels, and complete power accessories with easy access controls. Satellite radio comes standard as does the MP3 input. With comfortable seating and a powerful engine, the Kia Sorento is considered to be a great value for those looking for SUV class without the SUV price tag.
Another popular Kia SUV is the Sportage. When initially introduced there were some serious issues with the vehicle. Often referred to as a "penalty box" the Sportage suffered from a lack of inspiration inside and out. Fortunately, the Sportage has been redesigned from its modest beginnings and is now a Kia SUV with a lot more to offer. The interior has been remodeled in order to be more aesthetically pleasing and functional. The exterior design is sleeker and offers a sporty styling that can still show up to ball on weekends. With the new remodeling the Kia Sportage is now considered to be a Best Value Pick by leading critics in the industry. Standard transmission is still on the base model, and consumers have the option of moving up to the automatic. For those who still love the stick shift, this option is a selling point.
The Kia SUV family has had its ups and its downs. Overall, the recent remodeling and restructuring has provided the consumer with a value that can't be found elsewhere. With new trims, new lines, and new features that are often found only as options from other SUV manufacturers, the SUV from Kia could continue to evolve. The creation of the Kia is based on the idea that everyone deserves a great vehicle. The effort to be recognized among some of the top SUV models in the industry has been valiant and well earned.
