We want to walk you through Kia’s current lineup so you can see the diversity it has to offer. Every driver will be able to find a sedan that wows them and allows them to excel on the highway. You’ll be looking forward to car trips for years to come when you’re a Kia owner. Let’s give you a guided tour through the options.

Kia Rio: A Compact and Capable Commuter

There are sedan and hatchback versions of the Kia Rio, but today, we’ll be concentrating on the sedan model. It’s one of the most affordable cars on the market today, yet Kia took no shortcuts. In our opinion, it can compete quite easily with any other sedan in its class despite costing less. One of our favorite aspects of the Rio is its fuel economy. The 2023 model is rated for 32 MPG in the city and 41 MPG on the highway. You won’t have to get familiar with your local gas station attendant when you’re a Rio owner.

What makes the Rio stand out beyond its efficiency is its sense of fun. On the outside, it has a grille and headlights that give it a sardonic grin. Inside, the Rio comes packed with technology. It has an eight-inch touchscreen that features Kia Connect and SiriusXM Satellite Radio. With the latter, you can listen to stations of your favorite artists or in-depth reporting on its news channels. With plush seating and available automatic climate control, you’ll be sitting in luxury no matter where you’re traveling. Weather in Northampton can be variable, ranging from scorching summers to freezing winters, so you’ll also be pleased with just how fast your climate system can create the temperature bubble you want. The Rio especially stands out if you’re a single driver who wants a car to commute in that’ll make you look good when arriving at the office.

Kia Forte: Adding Sportiness to Your Life

A little larger than the Rio, the compact Forte has a similarly affordable price while still outdoing most other sedans in its class––that’ll be a recurring theme with Kia’s sedans! The Forte comes with a sportier look that’ll make onlookers glance twice to catch a glimpse. Depending on the trim, you can once more achieve great mileage: the 2023 Forte is rated for up to 30 MPG in the city and 41 MPG on the highway.

You can upgrade your Forte into an even sportier look if you want. The GT and GT Manual trims have sport seats, a sport-tuned dual exhaust so your car sounds as cool as possible, and even an upgraded multi-link rear suspension. Under the hood of these trims is a turbocharged 1.6L engine with 201 hp. While the Forte is not a sports car, it can come pretty close, which is why it’s been such a popular seller among young drivers who want a car with some style and kick.

There’s also plenty of room in the Forte. If you’re someone who plans to travel with some luggage, the Forte can be a great pick. Even its base engine in the lower trims has solid acceleration. If you’re worried about a sedan that lags and falls behind others on the streets, you can put those worries aside if you treat yourself to a new Kia Forte.

Kia K5: Family Friendly With Zest

In recent years, the midsize K5 has grown in popularity. That’s no surprise, as it looks a lot sharper than the old Optima. While it’s still a family-friendly vehicle, its exterior now makes it the envy of the road as opposed to yet another family car. And its power? Watch out. This sedan can go from zero to 60 mph in just 5.7 seconds. You’ll be roaring down the highway to Philadelphia in no time at all. What gives the K5 such capability? It has an available 2.5L turbocharged engine that produces a best-in-class 311 lb-ft of torque. Torque guarantees excellent acceleration and a smooth ride when you’re traveling at high speed. You won’t feel like your car is struggling to keep pace; in fact, you’ll get the sense your K5 loves the journey.

You’ll also enjoy available all-wheel drive, which will let you travel securely with your family even when the weather turns foul during the winter months. We know how nasty winters around Northampton can become, but the all-wheel drive K5 will let you feel firmly in command of your vehicle. If you match this with a good set of snow tires from our service center, you’ll really be dominating the winter roads. Inside, you have comfortable seating, an available 10.25-inch touchscreen that can link to SiriusXM, and an optional twelve-speaker Bose sound system. There won’t be any dull drives in your future. And is the K5 very affordable while still outdoing most other sedans in its class? Of course! That’s the Kia sedan story.

Kia Stinger: Stylish Sports Sedan

Are you ready to turn it up a notch? The Kia Stinger can reach 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds, thanks to its 3.3L twin-turbo V6 engine that cranks out 368 hp and 376 lb-ft torque. You’ll be gliding down I-78 with those numbers. Plus, you won’t have to worry about those awkward highway entrances where you’re waiting on the ramp for a break in traffic because your car can’t take off quickly. You know the moment: you’re tapping the wheel, hoping no one comes up behind you expecting you to have acceleration that you don’t. With the Stinger, you can merge right in without a problem, even on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

The Stinger’s sleek look comes from its aerodynamic design, which is another reason its ride is so smooth. There’s a lot less drag on your vehicle when you have a sedan this smartly designed. As much as the engine’s numbers impress, a car’s structure still makes a large difference in how well it runs. Of course, the available 19-inch alloy wheels help, too. When you have supportive wheels like that, you can put a lot more trust in your ride. If you want even more control, you can opt for all-wheel drive with torque vectoring control. This system distributes power to the wheels depending on the current conditions. It works great for when you are driving in inclement weather.

The Stinger’s interior has garnered acclaim, particularly for its driver’s seat. Any driver of a Stinger soon appreciates how the car’s interior makes certain that the person behind the wheel is comfortable. The driver’s seat is ergonomic so that you can feel well supported during long trips, heated for cold mornings, and has available 16-way adjustable power controls. If you’re driving for hours, you won’t mind it much when you’re seated in your Stinger. Pennsylvania is a large state, and there’s a lot to see in both the west and the east; traveling to see all the state’s sights might take some time, but you’ll enjoy the trip as much as the destination if you’re in a Stinger.
