Kia vs Hyundai

When you just start looking for a new vehicle, it is likely that you aren't really sure what you want. Most of the information drivers compile when they are first looking for a new vehicle is anecdotal, with stories from friends and family about why they should choose one model over another. There are so many different options that drivers have to consider when they are looking for a new vehicle, and it can be difficult to figure out what you want from your vehicle exactly. If you don't know where to start on your new car adventure, take a moment to determine if there is a manufacturer, like Kia that will work better for you than one of the many other options.

Most drivers know that if they are looking for a compact vehicle, a Kia dealership like Family Kia is the best place to go. However, there are other options to consider when looking at functional compact vehicles and high-performance SUVs. Before making the big decision of buying a new vehicle, drivers will want to compare Kia vs Hyundai to decide which vehicle makes the most sense for them. Whether they are looking at safety, style, or size, drivers will need to take a closer look at the offerings from these two manufacturers.

Vehicle Size

No matter what style of vehicle you're looking for, most people want to make sure that they are getting a model that provides them with the space that they need. Drivers can choose between smaller compact models, full-size SUVs, and family sedans when they opt for a Kia model. Whether you're looking for passenger capacity or plenty of cargo volume, you'll find it on a Kia vehicle. While you can also find a variety of different options on a Hyundai model, one of the Kia options available will likely be your best fit.

Performance

In addition to all of the different vehicle styles available, your new Kia vehicle will provide you with a variety of options, especially when it comes to performance. The 2018 Kia Sorento offers two different engine options, a 185 horsepower, 2.4L four-cylinder and a 290 horsepower, 3.3L V6 engine. By comparison, the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe only offers one engine option, a 3.3L V6 with 290 horsepower. This robs you of one of the many choices you'll want to make with your new vehicle. Many of the other Kia models also have multiple engine options.

Safety

When you get behind the wheel of a new vehicle, you need to make sure that you're driving something that will get you from one place to another while still keeping you safe. Many models from Kia and Hyundai have found their way onto the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick list. You'll also find a variety of the vehicles on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration five-star crash test ratings. If you're looking at the 2018 Kia Optima, you'll have access to a whole host of standard advanced driver assistance features.

Technology features

Finding a new vehicle means looking for something that will give you access to all the technology that you're used to. On most Kia models, like the 2018 Kia Soul, you'll have access to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as Bluetooth compatibility, giving you a variety of options when it comes to connecting your device to the standard infotainment systems. While these systems are also standard on Hyundai models, you won't have the UVO eservices that are found on Kia models. No matter which manufacturer you choose, there are systems that can help you stay connected.
