The 7 Most Popular Kia Models in Upstate New York in 2024
When you're car shopping, the choices available can be overwhelming. If you've decided to go with a new Kia or want to learn more before choosing a Kia, you'll probably want to know what the popular models are.
Here are seven of the most popular Kia models we have here at Garvey Kia. These particular models are the ones you see throughout the Albany - Saratoga area and upstate New York.
1. Kia Telluride: The Biggest SUV in Kia's Lineup
Kia's biggest SUV seats up to eight passengers across 3 rows. And because the 2024 Telluride does things just a little better than the others in its category, when we say it seats eight, it does so very comfortably. It fits fully-grown adults in all seats, and even has ample trunk space behind the third row. The Telluride stuns with its high-quality design of the luxury-like cabin. It features a smooth ride and is abundantly equipped with the latest tech and safety features.
The 2024 Telluride model is available in many trim options, including the LX, S, EX, and SX. Each comes with a 3.8-liter V6 and is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is available on all trims (standard on most trims, with front-wheel drive being the the standard on the LX, S and EX trim packages).
2. Kia Sorento: A Three-Row Compact SUV
The 2024 Kia Sorento delivers everything you'd want from a modern SUV. From comfortable seats to plenty of cargo space, not to mention a vigorous acceleration from the optional turbocharged motor. Plus, the latest version is large enough for adults to sit in the third row!
This three-row compact SUV is available in multiple trim levels, including the LX, S, EX, SX, SX Prestige, and SX Prestige X-Line. Front-wheel drive is standard in almost all models, with AWD available as an option. The exceptions are the SX Prestige which is front-drive only, and the SX Prestige X-Line is AWD only.
3. Kia Seltos: The Newest Small Crossover SUV
The 2024 Kia Seltos is the newest addition to the fast-growing small crossover SUV lineup from Kia. The two-tone roof and stacked headlight design look unique and help it stand out from the crowd. Available in five trim levels: LX, S, S Turbo, EX, and SX.
Engine options include either the base 146-hp or the more powerful turbocharged 175-hp. Enjoy a smooth acceleration from a small SUV. Optional all-wheel drive is available. The inside is constructed of premium materials and is spacious enough for four adults. Need to haul stuff? No problem! You can simply fold down the rear seats to provide extra cargo space.
4. Kia Sportage: A Small But Loaded SUV
The 2024 Kia Sportage is a small SUV that slots between the three-row Sorento and the compact Seltos. The Sportage packs tons of features into an affordable package, with available all-wheel drive and a striking design that helps it stand out from the crowd.
There's a long list of standard features on all Sportage trims, but the EX really packs them in for the price. This model adds several visual upgrades as well as some that you'll feel right away. These include the power-adjustable driver's seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
The 2024 Kia Sportage is available in seven trims, including the LX, X-Line Drive, EX, and SX. All models come with a six-speed automatic transmission and your choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
5. Kia K5: The New Midsize Sedan, Formerly Known as the Optima
For two decades, the Optima offered attractive styling and good value for money. Recently, however, Kia went all-in and gave it a new name! Enjoy features like bolder styling, new engine, and transmission options, and plus, there's now an AWD option.
The 2024 Kia K5 is offered in five trim levels: LXS FWD, GT-Line FWD, GT-Line AWD, EX, and GT. Front-wheel drive is standard on most, and all-wheel drive is optional in the GT-Line.
6. Kia EV6
The 2024 Kia EV6 is an all-electric SUV that can go the distance with non-electric vehicles. It gets about 310 miles per charge, making it a viable electric option for long trips. On top of that, its rapid charging will get you back on the road in no time. Just because it’s electric doesn’t mean that speed has to be sacrificed. The EV6’s 0-60 mph time is just 4.6 seconds, which is comparable with the Porsche Cayenne.
It is offered in 9 different trim levels, including Light RWD, Wing RWD, GT-Line AWD, and GT AWD.
7. Kia Forte: The Small but Sporty Sedan
The 2024 Forte goes head-to-head with rivals, including the Honda Civic, Mazda 3, Subaru Impreza, and Toyota Corolla. However, the Forte stands out even among this group. Features include handsome design, easy-to-use tech, and excellent fuel economy. It's also a good value with plenty of features for your money, plus Kia's outstanding warranty. Five trim levels are available: LX, LXS, GT-Line, GT, and GT Manual.
