Kia Sorento
The Kia Sorento is a midsize crossover SUV that fills the gap between compact and full-size. It's one of the most flexible vehicles in Kia's lineup, with three rows of seating in a bit smaller package than most competitors. Accommodation for up to seven individuals, or six when optional captain's chairs are installed in the second row, makes it ideal for families that require more space without having to drive a large SUV daily.
The interior of the Sorento is upscale in relation to its size, with modern design elements, soft-touch surfaces, and high-tech features such as a large infotainment screen and digital driver's display. The available plug-in hybrid and hybrid models make it one of the only three-row SUVs that combines utility with strong fuel efficiency.
Space-wise, the third row in the Sorento is best for smaller adults or kids, so it makes a good fit for family travelers with young passengers. With the third row folded down, however, there's ample room for groceries, sports equipment, or road trip essentials. It's a cinch to drive through congested traffic and park into tighter spaces than larger three-row SUVs, so it makes a great compromise of efficiency, comfort, and usability.
Kia Telluride
The Telluride is Kia's showpiece three-row SUV and among the most sought-after family vehicles on the market. It's larger than the Sorento, with more space inside and a more commanding road presence. The Telluride accommodates eight passengers with a second-row bench or seven with available captain's chairs, making it ideal for large families or people who frequently have a full load of passengers on board.
The third row in the Telluride is much more comfortable than most of the midsize competition. Adults can fit back there with lots of leg and headroom, so it is handy on road trips. The interior is premium in quality with upscale materials, optional Nappa leather seating, and features such as ventilated seats on both the first and second rows. The Telluride's dashboard and center console layout are easy to understand, and advanced driver-assistance features are included as standard, making it one of the safest vehicles in its segment.
Its ride is smooth and restrained, so the Telluride handles like a luxury SUV that isn't priced like one. It also boasts best-in-class towing capacity, plenty of cargo room behind the third row, and a reputation for reliability and affordability. For buyers who require the most room, comfort, and refinement Kia offers, the Telluride is the best of the bunch.
Kia EV9
The Kia EV9 is the company's first all-electric three-row SUV, blending robust design, zero-emissions driving, and copious interior volume. It is the future of Kia's SUV line, with functionality and innovation for contemporary families. In six- or seven-passenger configurations, the EV9 provides a spacious, premium interior feel that keeps pace with traditional gasoline-powered competitors.
Internally, the EV9 is focusing on comfort and technology. The interior is built with sustainable materials and has a clean-lined appearance with two digital screens that sweep across the dashboard. A third row is convenient and spacious enough for adults to occupy on short journeys, and space for cargo remains useful with all seats filled. The EV9's flat floor, facilitated by its electric platform, adds to the sense of freedom and room in the legs everywhere.
Performance is instant electric torque and smooth, quiet driving. Strong range on a full charge, fast charging, and optional all-wheel drive make it capable for family road trips or everyday driving. The EV9 also features advanced safety and driver-assist technologies to provide added peace of mind on the road. Perfect for drivers needing three rows of space but the efficiency and sleekness of an EV.
