Kia Motors is an interesting company in that it started out and continues today to focus on cost-conscious buyers. However, while it began with this in mind, it recognized the need to deliver quality and style. While used car buyers will be looking for low prices on a used Kia, they still care about the look and feel of their used car. While early Kia cars like a used Kia Sportage or a used Rio might have a bit of plainness to them, from the min-2000s, Kia picked up a Western/European-influence in its design with an award-winning new Chief Design Officer, Peter Schreyer, who designed the Audi TT and contributed to designs at Volkswagen.
It should be no surprise then that sales have steadily increased to where Kia began to outsell competitors such as Mazda and Chrysler in the U.S. With this increase in sales comes a healthy second-hand market for buyers looking for a used Kia Optima, Forte or Spectra, popular sedans offering great mileage. Family buyers will like the great prices on a used Sorento SUV, used Kia Soul or used Rondo wagons.
Used Kia vehicles come in a variety of designs and styles from compacts to full-size cars as well as SUVs to minivans. While Kia has kept its cars affordable, it hasn't given up on interior comforts with such things as an adjustable steering wheel, air conditioning or cruise control. With great safety ratings and above average MPG (e.g., 36 Hwy for a Kia Rio), used car shoppers can find comfort, style and great value in a used Kia.
Popular used Kia vehicles include:
- Used Kia Optima - This sleek, sporty-looking sedan is an example of the influence brought by its Design Chief, Peter Schreyer. Available in multiple trims, all versions deliver comfort and style along with a plethora of amenities (e.g., power locks, split folding seats, etc.) Later models include iPod and Bluetooth phone connectivity.
- Used Kia Sedona - With a tight turning radius (for all those times you'll be dropping off the kids then need to turn around easily to the next errand), the Kia Sedona minivan offers plenty of interior space and family-friendly features as well, like a "hold open" locking device to prevent an open door from closing on little fingers.
- Used Kia Sorento - Even with its attention to keeping costs down, this crossover SUV compares nicely with its competition with an automatic four-wheel drive and low-range gearing. Look for the optional sports package if you want your used Sorento to include remote keyless entry, fog lamps and step bars.
