Why You Should Buy a Pre-Owned Kia
When it comes to reliability, Kia cars have steadily built a reputation for dependability and durability. These vehicles don’t sacrifice style for practicality. Kia consistently scores well in reliability ratings, and J.D. Power has even ranked the company third overall in its 2023 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study. In other words, no matter which model you choose, you can’t go wrong with a Kia – especially when you can save more without sacrificing reliability by buying certified pre-owned.
You don’t need to spend a fortune buying new to guarantee high quality. At Easterns Automotive, we offer a vast inventory of pre-owned vehicles with a decade or more of life left to go. We perform a rigorous multi-point quality inspection of each model to ensure it meets or exceeds our strict standards.
Most Kia models in our inventory were released within the past few years and have fewer than 40,000 miles, meaning you can get a vehicle with well over 100,000 miles to go at an extremely low price and with lower insurance premiums. And with a comprehensive 30-day / 1,000-mile warranty package in case of any unexpected issues, you can rest assured you’re getting the most out of your buck and then some.
Why Have Kia Cars Become So Popular?
Kia focuses on producing affordable vehicles that exude quality and style. The brand has invested in ensuring each model has inventive design, style and technology, staying at the forefront of automotive innovation. With Kia’s industry-leading warranty, buyers can have peace of mind that their car will last many years, proving the brand’s confidence in their vehicles doesn’t diminish with age.
The brand also continues to evolve and invoke excitement toward the future as they develop hybrid and electric plug-in vehicles as part of their commitment to sustainable transportation that remains, above all else, functional and affordable.
Top Kia Models
Sorento
The Sorento stands out as a versatile midsize SUV that combines style with functionality. With comfortable seating for up to seven passengers and ample cargo space, it makes for a great family car. The Sorento’s impressive gas mileage at a combined 25 mpg (and 35 mpg for its hybrid variant) exceeds industry expectations for SUVs, making it a savvy investment for the fuel-conscious buyer.
Soul
The Soul – known for its compact, boxy shape that’s bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside – has become a prominent model for the brand due to its distinct design. Beyond the unique aesthetics, the Soul also boasts low maintenance requirements and competitive gas mileage at a combined 31 mpg, meaning a full tank can last drivers up to 470 miles a trip.
Forte
For those seeking a sleek, compact sedan with a sporty design, the Forte fits the bill. Its modern design and efficient use of space make it an attractive option for the urban driver who prioritizes style and functionality. It also boasts gas mileage superior to both the Soul and the Sorento at up to a combined 34 mpg for its base-line model.
What Is the Best Kia to Buy?
Whichever model is considered the “best” depends on the buyer. Families might find the Sorento more appealing due to its spacious interior and third-row seating, while the average urban commuter might appreciate the compact design of the Soul that makes it easy to maneuver through the hectic city sprawl. Alternatively, those who want more space than the Soul without sacrificing fuel efficiency may gravitate toward the Forte.
