Buying a used car is a practical decision. Buying used Kia cars is even better! You save on the price tag and, if you're buying right, you're still getting a vehicle that is in great condition. With buying smart as the goal, how do you get the most out of the vehicle you purchase? You choose the right brand--KIA! What better car, than used Kia cars?! Kia has a wide variety of cars, trucks, compacts, hybrids and SUVs because Kia aims to make a vehicle for everyone. As one of southern Oklahoma's best Kia dealerships, Lawton Kia has a sample of each of used Kia cars. If you're a used car buyer, this is a great thing. The number one asset you get when you purchase used Kia cars may not be the vehicle itself-- It may be the warranty. If you get a Certified Pre-Owned Kia, you still get America's Best Warranty, which covers your vehicle for 10 years or 100,000 miles. One of our customers bought a Kia nine and a half years ago and the transmission went out. She brought it to our service department and we were able to fix it under warranty. NINE. YEARS. LATER… That is a powerful testament to what purchasing a used Kia can do for you and how it will save you money in the long run. To see Lawton's best Kia selection, come to Lawton Kia, where you can make a smart buying decision. Our used cars and new cars for sale include the Kia Telluride, Kia Niro, Kia Soul, Kia Sportage, Kia Sorento, Kia Carnival, Kia EV6, Kia K4, Kia K5, and the Kia Seltos.

Test driving a potential vehicle is usually both exciting and a bit intimidating. But, if you know the tricks of the trade, that intimidation factor goes down substantially. Who better to give you tips to test drive cars than your favorite local car dealership? Here are 7 Test Drive Tips from our Dealership If you have more tips to add to our list, send us a message! 1. Know what to expect on price, features and abilities You should look around online before your test drive, and know what the vehicle you're about to drive. Knowing the features offered on that model will make you aware if anything is broken or missing. Also, knowing the price helps you not waste time on cars that are out of your budget when scheduling a test drive. 2. Schedule the test drive Don't just show up to the dealership if you can help it. Having an appointment can be a major time saver because any good dealership, like Lawton Kia, will have everything prepared for your test drive when you walk in the door, as long as you scheduled in advance. Plus, this will give the dealership time to see if there are any comparable models in your price range that you should consider. 3. Bring a companion Having a test drive sidekick can really help when you are looking around. This person can be an extra set of eyes for any dings, dents or flaws on the vehicle. He or she can also take some of the pressure off of you when it comes to the small talk during the test drive, that way you can fully focus on what the car is trying to tell you. 4. Always make yourself at home in the vehicle This doesn't mean carry around all of the random stuff that winds up in your car, but it does mean make the car comfortable. Get in, adjust the seat, mirrors and AC. Turn on the radio, see what the navigation panel is like, get a feel for the interior. It's important that you don't allow yourself to be rushed while checking out the vehicle. 5. Don't listen to the radio while driving The problems you DO NOT want after a car purchase are engine problems. They're expensive and troublesome. That's why when you're driving the car, listen for abnormalities in the sounds the car makes while you are accelerating, stopping and idling. Listening to the car is an important part of every test drive. 6. Check the tires, always Tires are often forgotten when a car is being taken for a test drive, but they shouldn't be. Tires are a part of the car that can be negotiated. If they look bald, they are losing air, or look flat, bring that up to the dealership. They should take responsibility for the merchandise they are selling you. 7. Go to the right place Not all dealerships are created equal. Make sure you are going to a dealership that has not only an excellent selection of inventory, but also a top of the line sales staff, finance department and service center. Having all of these services available to you will make your car buying experience that much better. Lawton Kia has all of these things and we would love to help you into your next new or used car, truck or SUV. Good luck car shoppers, hope to see you soon! Our used cars and new cars for sale include the Kia Telluride, Kia Niro, Kia Soul, Kia Sportage, Kia Sorento, Kia Carnival, Kia EV6, Kia K4, Kia K5, and the Kia Seltos.

The 2026 Kia EV9 offers up to 305 miles of range and 379 horsepower from its dual-motor AWD system. This three-row electric SUV features nearly 30 inches of digital displays, swiveling captain's chairs, and genuinely impressive performance. Kia backs the 2026 EV9 with a comprehensive 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and 10-year/100,000-mile battery coverage. The electric vehicle revolution has transformed the automotive landscape, and Kia has positioned itself at the forefront with the 2026 Kia EV9. This three-row electric SUV combines cutting-edge technology, impressive range, and family-friendly practicality. Built on Kia's advanced E-GMP 800-volt platform, the 2026 Kia EV9 delivers an electrifying blend of style, performance, and innovation that makes it a standout choice for families ready to embrace zero-emission driving. 2026 Kia EV9 Overview The 2026 Kia EV9 represents Kia's flagship electric offering and marks the brand's bold entry into the three-row EV SUV segment. Measuring 197.2 inches in length and standing 68.9 inches tall, the 2026 Kia EV9 commands presence on the road. The vehicle rides on a generous 122-inch wheelbase, which contributes to its spacious interior and stable handling characteristics. The 2026 Kia EV9 is available in multiple trim levels, including the Light RWD, Light Long Range RWD, Wind AWD, and Land AWD. For 2026, Kia has introduced the striking Nightfall Edition package available on the Land AWD trim, featuring exclusive 20-inch gloss black wheels, gloss black badging and exterior trim, and unique interior design elements. This special edition also introduces an exclusive Roadrider Brown exterior color that sets it apart from the standard lineup. Performance Performance wise, the 2026 Kia EV9 offers a range of powertrains designed to suit different driving needs and preferences. The entry-level Light RWD trim features a single rear-mounted electric motor producing 215 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The Light Long Range RWD variant maintains the single-motor setup but with slightly reduced output at 201 horsepower. However, it gains significantly more range thanks to its larger 99.8-kWh battery pack. For those seeking more dynamic performance, the all-wheel-drive models feature a dual-motor arrangement with one motor at each axle. Each motor generates 189 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque individually, combining for a total system output of 379 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. The Nightfall Edition comes standard with an enhanced Boost mode that cranks torque output even higher. All 2026 Kia EV9 AWD models also gain Terrain Mode, replacing the simple 4WD mode from previous years. MPGe The 2026 Kia EV9 Light RWD trim achieves up to 88 MPGe combined, while the Light Long Range RWD is rated at up to 89 MPGe combined. The Wind and Land AWD trims are estimated to achieve up to 84 MPGe combined. These are impressive figures for a vehicle of this size, demonstrating the efficiency gains possible with Kia's advanced electric powertrain and aerodynamic design. Top Speeds What makes the 2026 Kia EV9 AWD models even more compelling is the available Boost mode, which can be purchased through the Kia Connect Store. This downloadable feature increases peak torque from 443 lb-ft to an impressive 516 lb-ft. It sharpens the acceleration and delivers a 0-60 mph time of just 5 seconds. Real-world testing has shown that AWD models with Boost can actually achieve even quicker times, with some tests recording 4.5-second sprints to 60 mph. Interior Step inside the 2026 Kia EV9 and you're greeted by a modern, thoughtfully designed cabin. It offers impressive space with 39.5 inches of third-row headroom and up to 81.7 cubic feet of cargo capacity with the seats folded. The second row can be configured with either a three-person bench seat for seven-passenger capacity or luxurious captain's chairs for six-passenger seating. These captain's chairs are particularly noteworthy, offering heating, ventilation, and swivel for easier conversation or entry to the third row. The 2026 Kia EV9 features smart touch haptic controls that illuminate when the vehicle is turned on. Ambient lighting is available with dual-color options for the footwell and door trim. The attention to detail extends to practical storage solutions, with concealable storage throughout the cabin and an extendable second-row center console. Sound-insulating glass and innovative acoustic technologies help reduce intrusive noise when going highway speeds. Available interior color combinations include Black and Dark Gray SynTex seat trim on the base models, with higher trims offering embossed dot patterns and quilted stripes designs. The Land trim provides Dark Gray and Light Gray options with quilted stripes and the Nightfall Edition boasts an all-black interior theme with exclusive seat stitching patterns and unique design elements. Technology The 2026 Kia EV9 showcases Kia's latest technological innovations, beginning with the Digital Cockpit that features nearly 30 inches of total combined digital instrumentation. This impressive setup consists of dual 12.3-inch displays: one serving as the driver's digital instrument cluster and the other as the central infotainment touchscreen. Between these screens sits a five-inch climate control display, creating a triple panorama of digital information that's both functional and visually striking. An available 12-inch head-up display projects critical driving information directly onto the windshield. The infotainment system comes standard with built-in navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless Android Auto. An eight-speaker audio system is standard, with the premium 14-speaker Meridian system available on higher trims. Digital Key 2.0 technology transforms your smartphone into a vehicle key, enabling you to lock, unlock, and start the 2026 Kia EV9 without carrying a key fob. Remote Smart Park Assist represents another technological highlight. It automatically enables the 2026 Kia EV9 to autonomously park itself. Safety The 2026 Kia EV9 has earned the prestigious IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award, demonstrating Kia's commitment to occupant protection. The vehicle's purpose-built EV platform utilizes ultra-high-strength steel to provide a robust yet lightweight structure that excels in crash protection. Kia's commitment to safety extends beyond active systems to include passive protection features. The 2026 Kia EV9 battery pack is strategically located and protected within the vehicle's structure, with multiple safeguards to prevent damage in collision scenarios. The robust construction and advanced airbag systems provide occupant protection that meets or exceeds federal safety standards. Standard safety features include: Forward Collision Warning Automatic Emergency Braking Driver Attention Monitor Blind Spot Monitoring Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist Pedestrian And Cyclist Detection Intersection Assist Kia's Highway Driving Assist 2 System Navigation-Based Adaptive Cruise Control Lane Departure Warning Lane Keeping Assist Front And Rear Parking Sensors Rear Cross-Traffic Alert 2026 Kia EV6 Price For 2026, Kia has actually reduced pricing on several trims compared to the 2025 model year. The 2026 Kia EV9 starts at an MSRP of $54,900 for the base Light RWD trim, making it one of the most accessible three-row electric SUVs on the market. The Light Long Range RWD is now $2,000 cheaper at $59,395 compared to $61,395 for 2025. The Wind AWD trim maintains its $65,395 starting price from 2025.. Land AWD has been reduced by $1,000 to $70,395 from the previous year's $71,395. Price by Trim It's important to note that these MSRP figures exclude destination and handling charges, taxes, and dealer charges. Actual prices will vary by dealer and location. Light RWD: $54,900 Light Long Range RWD: $57,900 Wind AWD: $63,900 Land AWD: $68,900 Kia Warranty The 2026 EV9 benefits from one of the most comprehensive warranty programs in the automotive industry. It provides exceptional peace of mind for electric vehicle buyers.

For electric vehicles, Kia's Battery Coverage covers capacity loss below 70 percent of the original capacity for 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Kia has announced the discontinuation of the Kia Stinger, but the auto brand won't get rid of the model without a big finale of a special edition lineup. 2023 Stinger special edition models include the GT-Line and the GT2, both have available specialized packages, colors, and technology. Find the 2023 Kia Stinger GT-Line and GT2 for sale at Lawton Kia in Oklahoma. The Kia Stinger, like its previous predecessors, originated in 2018. Now, only 5 years into its production, the autobrand has announced that this is the Stinger’s final year. It’s not all bad news, though. In honor of the Kia Stinger and all its glory, Kia has a special lineup in store for 2023. Kia is rolling out special editions for both the GT-Line and GT2 vehicles. The GT-Line Apex Special Edition and the GT2 Grand Tourer Special Edition. To take the Kia Stinger GT finale to the next level, only 1000 units worldwide will be produced in Ascot Green finish. We’ve created this blog on your behalf what you need to know about the Kia Stinger final year of production. Before we jump into the Kia Stinger, make sure to follow us on social media to stay in the know of Lawton Kia! 2023 Stinger Models With a lineup consisting of the GT-Line and the GT2, consumers are able to pick between two stellar models. Both models come with specialized packages and choice colors. 2023 Kia Stinger GT-Line With all wheel drive, a 0-60 mph speed as low as 4.7 seconds, and 300-368 horsepower, the sting of 2023 being Kia’s last year of the Stinger is tragic. With the option of either a 2.5L four cylinder or 3.5 six cylinder engine, Kia lets you decide how many heads you want to turn on the street. The four cylinder engine averages 22 mpg in the city and 32 on the highway while offering a comfortable leathery spaced interior. The Kia Stinger GT-Line will have all its passengers longing for a road trip. Speaking of road trips, there’s no need to worry about trunk space because the Stinger out-ranked its competitors in cargo, and has the space to prove it. Although it is not quite a high end luxury sedan, the Kia Stinger GT-Line still competes in style, speed, and especially salary protection. Being the cheaper of the two 2023 GT series, it creates an opportunity for anyone to drive sleek and be a “stinger” on the road. 2023 Kia Stinger GT2 The 2023 Kia Stinger GT2 comes with a 3.3L twin turbo V6 engine, producing 368 horsepower, allowing a 0-60 mph speed of 4.6 seconds. Not to mention the exclusive suede interior that has red stitching and piping–what a combo. Being an upgrade from the Stinger GT-Line, the GT2 creates a persona around the competing Stinger car that consumers desire. Averaging 18 mpg within the city and 25 mpg on the highway, the GT2 comes in slightly lower than the GT-Line V4. This allows for consistent riding and distant traveling. The high performance Brembo Brakes and electronically controlled suspensions also ensures your ride is safe as you travel down the road. As previously mentioned, the Stinger GT2 will be releasing an exclusive 1000 units of the Ascot Green Grand Tourer package but that is not the only color or package that is purchasable. With seven different exterior paint selections and seven different interior packages your car GT will exemplify your persona on the road. Figure out which package fits you the best by stopping by our Kia dealership! Kia Stinger Technology The two 2023 Kia Stinger GT models, although have different performances, their features are one in the same. The Kia Stinger infotainment system offers a wide variety and range of technological advances within a vehicle. The Stinger’s connectivity allows remote access through your mobile phone for easy access and comfortable control. Through the vehicle's connectivity you have remote start, the ability to find your car, voice assistance, and stolen vehicle recovery. Offering either an 8-inch or 10.3-inch display screen mixed with physical buttons, the Stinger is equipped for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Harmon/Kardon nine speaker audio system offers a crisp and comfortable sound from music or voice-activated controls. Other technological upgrades are available such as wireless smartphone charging pads and in-dash navigation. Kia Stinger Safety and Warranty According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the 2023 Kia Stinger has accumulated an overall ranking of 5 stars. Receiving an overall rating of "Good" from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, ensures a safe ride from the Stinger.

The 2026 Kia EV6 goes head-to-head with the Tesla Model 3, Hyundai IONIQ 6, and Chevrolet Equinox EV on range, charging speed, technology, and price. Each competitor brings its own strengths, but the 2026 EV6 stands out for combining SUV versatility with 800-volt charging speed and strong warranty coverage. Oklahoma shoppers can take the 2026 Kia EV6 for a test drive at Lawton Kia. Shopping for an electric vehicle in 2026 means more choices than ever, and that's a good thing for buyers. However, it also means the research process can get overwhelming fast. If you've been comparing the 2026 Kia EV6 against other popular electric vehicles, you're already asking the right questions. This guide breaks down how three of the top electric vehicles (Tesla Model 3, the Hyundai IONIQ 6, and the Chevrolet Equinox EV) compare to the Kia EV6 across the categories that matter most: range, charging, performance, interior space, technology, safety, and price. By the end, you should have a clearer picture of which EV fits your driving life best. 2026 Kia EV6 Overview The 2026 Kia EV6 is a compact electric crossover that blends SUV practicality with a sleek, low-slung silhouette. For 2026, the EV6 lineup includes the Light, Light Long Range, Wind, and GT-Line trims. Pricing starts in the low $40,000s and climbs toward the upper $50,000s depending on trim and options. It has a combination of SUV cargo flexibility, athletic driving dynamics, and quick charging that has made it a consistent favorite among electric crossover shoppers. 2026 Tesla Model 3 Overview The 2026 Tesla Model 3 is a compact electric sedan known for its efficiency, access to the Supercharger network, and strong straight-line performance. It's often the default choice for shoppers who prioritize range and brand recognition. 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 6 Overview The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 6 is a sleek, aerodynamic electric sedan that shares its underlying platform with the Kia EV6. It emphasizes efficiency and rapid 800-volt charging, appealing to buyers who want a distinctive design and low running costs. 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV Overview The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV takes a different approach as an affordable electric compact SUV. It leads the group on starting price and offers the most rear cargo space of the four, making it appealing to budget-conscious families. 2026 EV Comparison Each of these 2026 EV vehicles has real strengths, and the right choice often comes down to priorities like body style, charging habits, and budget. Here's how they compare side by side. EV Range & Charging Comparison EV range and charging numbers favor the 2026 Model 3 and the 2026 IONIQ 6, both of which can travel farther on a single charge than the 2026 EV6 in their longest-range configurations. However, charging speed tells a more nuanced story. The 2026 Kia EV6 800-volt architecture lets it recover a meaningful charge in about the same time as the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 6, and considerably faster than the 2026 Equinox EV, which uses a lower-voltage system that takes roughly twice as long to reach an 80 percent charge. The 2026 Tesla Model 3 is efficient and benefits from Tesla's extensive Supercharger network, but its charging speed lags behind both the 2026 EV6 and the 2026 IONIQ 6 on paper. For drivers who take road trips and value minimizing time at the charger, the 2026 Kia EV6 charging speed narrows the range gap in a way that raw range numbers alone don't capture. Here are the numbers broken down: 2026 Model Approx. EPA-Estimate Range Charging Architecture 10-80% DC Fast Charge Time Kia EV6 320 miles 800-volt 18 minutes Tesla Model 3 363 miles 400-volt (NACS native) 25-30 minutes Hyundai Ioniq 6 342 miles 800-volt 18 minutes Chevy Equinox 319 miles 400-volt (adapter needed for NACS) 40 minutes Performance & Drive Experience Comparison Every 2026 EV in this comparison delivers the instant torque that makes electric vehicles satisfying to drive, but the character of that performance varies. Tesla Model 3 The 2026 Tesla Model 3 offers four distinct configurations. Base Standard trims use a single rear motor producing about 286 horsepower and reaches 60 mph in roughly 5.8 seconds. Premium RWD steps up to a stronger rear motor and a 4.8-second sprint. Premium AWD adds a second motor up front for all-wheel drive and a quicker 4.2-second time. At the top sits the 2026 Model 3 Performance, which is the quickest vehicle in this entire comparison, reaching 60 mph in about 2.9 seconds thanks to its dual-motor setup, adaptive suspension, and a dedicated Track mode. Hyundai Ioniq 6 The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 6 splits its lineup between single-motor and dual-motor setups. RWD trims produce around 225 horsepower, while stepping up to dual-motor AWD raises output to 320 horsepower and drops the 0-60 mph time to about 5.1 seconds. Reviewers have noted it feels quieter and more composed than the Model 3 in everyday driving. Hyundai has also introduced a high-performance 2026 IONIQ 6 N variant with 641 horsepower and track-focused features like simulated gear-shift feel. Chevrolet Equinox EV The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV takes a more relaxed approach to performance. The standard front-wheel-drive setup uses a single motor making 220 horsepower and reaches 60 mph in about 7.7 seconds. Opting for the available all-wheel-drive version adds a second motor for a combined 300 horsepower and trims that time down to roughly 5.8 seconds. The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EVs prioritize a smooth, family-friendly ride over outright quickness, and it doesn't offer a higher-performance trim beyond the AWD configuration. Kia EV6 The 2026 Kia EV6 offers a notably athletic feel for a crossover. It offers direct steering and available all-wheel-drive output up to 320 horsepower on mainstream trims, plus a high-performance variant available for buyers who want serious speed. The base Light trim uses a single rear motor producing 167 horsepower, with other single-motor RWD trims bumped up to 225 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of about 7.3 seconds. Stepping up to the dual-motor AWD setup available on Light Long Range, Wind, and GT-Line trims raises output to 320 horsepower and 446 pound-feet of torque. These trims cut the 0-60 mph time to around 5.0 seconds. At the top of the lineup, the 2026 EV6 GT pushes its dual motors to a combined 641 horsepower, and reaches 60 mph in approximately 3.6 seconds using launch control. The GT model also adds electronically controlled suspension, stiffer anti-roll bars, larger brakes, and a Virtual Gear Shift feature that simulates the feel of gear changes during hard acceleration. Interior Comfort & Cargo Space Comparison Body style makes a real difference here. The 2026 Model 3 and 2026 IONIQ 6 are both sedans, which means a lower roofline, a trunk-style cargo area, and a rear seat that some taller passengers describe as snug. The 2026 Equinox EV and the 2026 EV6 are both crossover SUVs, which naturally opens up more usable cargo room and a more upright seating position. Things worth noting about interiors: 2026 Model 3 comes standard with synthetic leather seating and heated front seats, with ventilated seats added on Premium trims, but rear seat space and access remain limited compared to the SUV-style competitors. 2026 IONIQ 6 models use recycled and eco-friendly materials throughout, and its Limited trim adds ventilated front seats and a sunroof, though its aerodynamic sedan shape compromises rear headroom and cargo access compared to the two crossover SUVs. 2026 Equinox EVs offer the most outright cargo space of the group with heated front and rear seats and a heated steering wheel standard on most trims, plus a red-and-black interior color option on the sporty RS. 2026 EV6 models offer a flat rear floor and close to 39 inches of rear legroom, with available SynTex suede upholstery and ambient lighting on the GT-Line for a more upscale feel. Technology & Safety Comparison Every vehicle in this group leans heavily on touchscreen technology and comes with a robust suite of standard driver assistance features. This includes automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and lane keeping assistance. All four automakers take safety seriously, and shoppers cross-referencing independent crash test results should find that each of these vehicles performs competitively in its class. Buyers who specifically want wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility should note that neither the 2026 Model 3 nor the 2026 Equinox EV currently offer it. 2026 Tesla Model 3 relies almost entirely on its central touchscreen for controls, lacking Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and a traditional gauge cluster, while offering Tesla's Autopilot suite with more advanced hands-free capability available as a paid upgrade. 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 6 pairs dual 12.3-inch screens with a redesigned center console and updated materials for 2026. It’s backed by Hyundai SmartSense, which is a comprehensive and well-reviewed driver assistance suite. 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV offers a large 17.7-inch touchscreen powered by Google built-in, though it also lacks Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, it includes Chevy Safety Assist as standard equipment. Also available is Super Cruise hands-free driving on certain trims 2026 Kia EV6 features dual 12.3-inch curved displays, wireless smartphone charging, available Meridian premium audio, and Kia's full suite of standard and available driver assistance technology. Pricing & Value Comparison On sticker price alone, the 2026 Equinox EV and 2026 Model 3 have an edge. But value extends beyond the initial number on the window sticker. The 2026 EV6 backs its price with a 10-year/100,000-mile battery and EV system warranty. This level of coverage goes well beyond what Tesla and Chevrolet currently offer. When you factor in standard equipment, charging speed, and long-term coverage, the 2026 Kia EV6 price starts to look like it buys quite a bit more peace of mind than the sticker alone suggests. 2026 Tesla Model 3 prices range between $36,990-$54,990 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 6 prices range between $44,160-$55,000 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV prices range between $30,795-$35,595 2026 Kia EV6 prices range between $37,900-$48,700 Test Drive An Electric Vehicle at Lawton Kia There's no single right answer when it comes to choosing an electric vehicle. If maximum range and access to the Supercharger network are your top priorities, the 2026 Tesla Model 3 makes a strong case. Wanting sedan efficiency with a striking design, then the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 6 deserves a look. If price and cargo space top your list, the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV is worth cross-shopping. But if you're looking for a vehicle that balances rapid charging, genuine crossover practicality, engaging performance, and a warranty built for long-term ownership, the 2026 Kia EV6 checks a remarkable number of boxes. Numbers on a page only tell part of the story. The best way to know which of these EVs fits your daily drive is to feel it for yourself.

The 2027 Kia Telluride is a fully redesigned second-generation SUV featuring a first-ever hybrid powertrain. Kia skipped the 2026 Telluride model year entirely so the brand could deliver a complete redesign rather than release an outdated placeholder that would be quickly overshadowed by the new generation. Pricing on the 2027 Kia Telluride starts around $40,000 for the LX and reaches close to $60,000 for the top-tier X-Pro SX Prestige. For 2026, Kia made the bold decision to skip an entire model year, and the reason is standing in dealership showrooms right now: the fully redesigned 2027 Kia Telluride. This is not a refresh. It's a complete second-generation overhaul, and it shows in every detail from the powertrain to the cabin materials to the tech stack. Kia's choice to bypass a 2026 Telluride model stemmed from a desire to deliver a comprehensive redesign rather than incremental updates. Rather than putting a lightly refreshed 2026 Telluride on the lot only for buyers to see a completely new version arrive months later, Kia chose to simply leap forward and let the new Kia Telluride generation speak for itself. 2027 Kia Telluride Overview The redesigned 2027 Kia Telluride is a three-row SUV with a bigger, boxier body that can comfortably fit six adults. It is slightly longer and taller than its predecessor, giving it a more substantial presence on the road. The 2027 Telluride features sharper body lines, updated lighting, and even grille components. Many are comparing the 2027 Telluride to a Range Rover due to its similar aesthetics.. Ten trim levels are available across the 2027 Kia Telluride gas and hybrid lineups, giving buyers more options than ever before. Turbocharged Performance Every 2027 Kia Telluride comes standard with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 274 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. That torque figure represents nearly 50 lb-ft more than the previous-generation V6. This means the 2027 Kia Telluride pulls harder out of the gate even though the headline horsepower number is modestly lower. For buyers who want more, the 2027 Kia Telluride is now available with a first-ever hybrid powertrain. The hybrid variant features a turbocharged engine paired with electric motors for a total output of 329 horsepower, with the turbo hybrid delivering an additional 77 lb-ft more torque over the previous-generation. Front-wheel drive is standard on most trims, with all-wheel drive available as an option, and standard on SX Prestige, X-Line, and X-Pro trims. Towing capacity reaches up to 5,000 pounds on properly equipped gas models. Fuel Economy The 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid in front-wheel-drive EX trim achieves an EPA-estimated 34 miles per gallon in the city and 36 miles per gallon on the highway, for a combined rating of 35 mpg. That efficiency translates to a total driving range of up to 637 miles on the EX FWD trim. That's a 13-mpg improvement compared to the previous V6 version. The standard turbocharged gas model is less efficient than the hybrid but still represents a meaningful step forward from the outgoing V6 in everyday driving conditions. If fuel savings are a priority for your family, the 2027 Kia Telluride hybrid is worth the additional investment. 0-60 MPH The 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 6.6 seconds, quicker than the non-hybrid model's 7.4 seconds. However, the hybrid's dual electric motors contribute instant torque that makes the vehicle feel responsive and confident from a stop. An Expansive Yet Intimate Interior The cabin of the 2027 Kia Telluride is designed to feel both expansive and intimate. Available upholstery combinations vary depending on the chosen trim. Bold dual-tone schemes like Deep Navy with Tuscan Umber are available as well as more rugged tones like Butter Brown and Black. Wood-based textures add warmth, and hidden door handles tucked into the armrests blend function into form. A grip handle on the front center console pays homage to a signature element from the first-generation Kia Telluride. Seating is flexible for seven or eight passengers depending on the trim. Available features include heated and ventilated front seats, power-adjustable driver and passenger seats. Premium seat materials range from perforated cloth and SynTex combinations to SynTex suede configurations. Higher trims add memory settings for the driver seat, mirrors, audio, and HVAC systems. SX Prestige models step up to a head-up display, parking automation, ergo motion seats with power bolsters, and simulated wood interior accents. Interior Color Options By Trim Include: LX & S: Black SynTex & Cloth EX: Black SynTex, Black & Butter Brown SynTex X-Line EX: Black SynTex SX: Black SynTex, Deep Navy & Tuscan Umber SynTex X-Line SX: Black SynTex, Millstone & Saddle Brown SynTex, Black & Millstone SynTex X-Pro SX: Black SynTexSX Prestige: Deep Navy & Tuscan Umber SynTex & SynTex Suede, Black SynTex & SynTex SuedeX-Line & X-Pro SX Prestige: Black & Millstone SynTex & SynTex Suede, Black SynTex & SynTex Suede Heart Of The Kia Telluride: Technology At the heart of the 2027 Kia Telluride dashboard is an innovative Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) operating system. This system spans more than half of the dash and is available with dual 12.3-inch panoramic digital displays. The ccNC system features over-the-air update capability, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across all trims. Kia's generative AI voice assistant allows for more natural conversation, including the ability to ask for suggestions, and can be activated simply by speaking. Dual wireless charging pads between the front seats are standard equipment and are rubberized to keep phones in place. An available 12-inch head-up display and a 29.6-inch combined instrument panel and infotainment display round out the tech experience. Extensive Safety Suite Every 2027 Kia Telluride comes standard with an extensive suite of driver assistance systems. Kia offers 29 available driver assistance and collision avoidance features across the lineup. Structurally, the SUV includes a rigid body and up to 10 airbags, including a new front-center airbag, to enhance crash protection. The X-Pro trims also gain a Ground View Monitor that uses cameras to show what's directly beneath the vehicle, a helpful feature for off-road navigation. Kia's Highway Driving Assist 2.0 system, available on higher trims, provides hands-on highway assistance with lane centering and adaptive cruise that earned strong marks from reviewers during early drive events. 2027 Kia Telluride Available Safety Features: Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist Junction Crossing / Turning Detection Evasion Assist Rear Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist Highway Driving Assist Intelligent Speed Limit Assist Blind-Spot Detection Warning Lane Keeping Assist Driver Attention Warning Smart Cruise Control Blind-Spot View Monitor Surround-View Camera Parking Distance Warning 10-Airbag System Safe Exit Assist Rear Occupant Alert Enhanced Auto Emergency Braking 360 Surround View Monitor Head-Up Display Full Display Digital Rearview Mirror Front, Rear, & Side Parking Sensors Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist Lane-Following Assist 2 High Beam Assist Steering Assist LED Fog Lights Auto Headlight Control Puddle Lights & Door Spot Light Rearview Monitor w/ Integrated Camera Washer 2027 Kia Telluride Price The 2027 Kia Telluride price starts around $40,000 for the base LX trim. The Kia Telluride lineup spans a wide range to accommodate different budgets and feature preferences, with the hybrid powertrain available starting at the EX trim. All in all, you can expect the price of a 2027 Kia Telluride to cost between $40,000-$60,000. Price by Trim The prices listed below are strictly estimated.

This ties Kia with Hyundai for the longest coverage in the segment. For hybrid models, the powertrain warranty extends to cover the battery and hybrid components as well. The full 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty applies to the original owner, and if the vehicle is sold, coverage transfers to a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty for the subsequent owner, unless the vehicle is sold through Kia's Certified Pre-Owned program. This level of coverage is rare among non-luxury brands and adds significant long-term value to every 2027 Kia Telluride purchase. Kia Coverage Also Includes: Five-year/100,000-mile limited anti-perforation warranty Five-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance plan Test Drive a 2027 Kia Telluride at Lawton Kia The 2027 Kia Telluride is one of the most complete vehicles in its class, and the only way to truly appreciate what it offers is to get behind the wheel.

It does it all at a price that leaves room in the budget for everything else in life. 2026 Kia Niro Overview The 2026 Kia Niro Hybrid carries over largely unchanged from the previous model year. It continues with the same proven 1.6-liter hybrid powertrain and four-trim structure that has made it a standout in the compact crossover segment. It can stow up to class-leading 63.7 cubic feet of cargo with the rear row folded flat. The 2026 Niro's distinctive two-tone design with contrasting roof colors is available on select trims, giving it a personality that stands out in a segment full of look-alike options. 2026 Kia Niro Exterior Color Palette Includes: Aurora Black Pearl Cityscape Green Interstellar Gray Mineral Blue Runway Red Snow White Pearl Light Gray Medium Gray Charcoal Performance Every 2026 Kia Niro hybrid uses a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor. It produces a combined 139 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, sent to the front wheels through a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. A six-speed dual-clutch automatic delivers a more natural feel than the continuously variable transmissions found in most hybrids, thanks to its smooth, conventional shifts. There is a Sport mode that immediately remaps throttle and transmission responses to make the 2026 Niro feel more energetic, which is helpful for highway passing. The 2026 Niro is also available as a plug-in hybrid with an estimated 33 miles of electric-only range, or as a fully electric EV with an EPA-rated range of 253 miles.

With a 0-to-60-mph time of 8.9 seconds, it is one second quicker than the outgoing model and has more pep in its step than several of its competitors.

Kia uses SynTex, its vegan leather alternative, on upper trims alongside woven cloth on the base models, keeping the interior both premium and eco-conscious. 2026 Kia Niro Interior Color Choices: Charcoal Standard in durable cloth or luxurious SynTex Light Gray Available in both cloth and SynTex Electric Blue Accents Offered on specific Light Gray fabric and leatherette trims for a standout, modern aesthetic Charcoal and Leather Blended seating surfaces found on higher-tier models Technology The 2026 Kia Niro LX comes with an eight-inch touchscreen, five USB ports, six audio speakers, Bluetooth, a 4.3-inch display in the instrument cluster, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

SX and above benefit from upgraded sound via the Harman Kardon system, and the SX also gains a 10.25-inch infotainment display with split-screen capability. The available Premium Package on the EX adds a power liftgate, a sunroof, and the Harman Kardon audio system, making it an easy upgrade for buyers who want those amenities without moving all the way up to the SX trim. Safety Stepping up to the 2026 Kia Niro EX trim adds rear parking sensors, intersection assist, bicyclist detection, adaptive cruise control, and Kia's Highway Driving Assist system. 2026 Kia Niro SX trims add front parking sensors as well.

The 2026 Kia K4 is available as both a sedan and a new hatchback body style, with five trims available. Packed with standard tech like a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a suite of driver assistance features, the 2026 Kia K4 delivers premium value. Every 2026 Kia K4 is backed by Kia's industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, making it one of the most confidence-inspiring buys in the compact car segment. If you're in the market for a compact sedan or hatchback that punches well above its price tag, look no further than the 2026 Kia K4. With bold styling, a feature-rich interior, impressive fuel economy, and one of the best warranties in the business, the Kia K4 continues to make a strong case for itself as one of the smartest buys in its class. 2026 Kia K4 Overview The 2026 Kia K4 builds on the momentum it started as a Kia Forte replacement. For 2026, Kia's biggest move is the addition of an all-new hatchback body style alongside the existing sedan. This new hatchback option gives buyers even more flexibility, and is only about 11 inches shorter than the sedan. Aside from the roof and body panels behind the C-pillars, the two models are essentially identical mechanically. The 2026 Kia K4 sedan comes in five trim levels: LX, LXS, EX, GT-Line, and GT-Line Turbo. Hatchback Kia K4 configurations are available in EX, GT-Line, and GT-Line Turbo trims. On the outside, the 2026 Kia K4 stands out with a sleek, aerodynamic profile, sharp character lines, a distinctive grille design, and a sculpted hood. When it comes to exterior color choices, the full palette across trim levels includes: Interstellar Gray Steel Gray Snow White Pearl Aurora Black Pearl Currant Red Deep Sea Blue Wave Blue Morning Haze Sparkling Yellow Performance That Builds on Momentum Most 2026 Kia K4 models are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) that sends power to the front wheels. The range-topping GT-Line Turbo upgrades to a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder making 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. This engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. MPG Is A Strong Suite Fuel efficiency is one of the biggest strengths of the 2026 Kia K4. Models equipped with the base 2.0-liter engine are EPA-rated at 30 mpg city, 40 mpg highway, and 34 combined. The GT-Line Turbo mpg comes in at 26/36/29 mpg (city/highway/combined). 0-60 MPH Times The 2026 Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo, accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in  approximately 7.1–8.1 seconds, which is a solid time for a compact in this class. The base 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine is tuned more for efficiency than outright performance. This makes the turbo model the clear pick for drivers who want a bit more excitement. Looking at the base 2.0L engine, it takes about 9.8 seconds to accelerate from 0-60 mph. A Premium Interior Step inside the 2026 Kia K4 and you'll quickly notice that it feels more premium than its price tag would suggest. Soft-touch materials elevate the overall ambiance, and front seats are supportive with rear legroom that’s genuinely ample.

The EX adds a leatherette interior with heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a wireless charging pad, along with 17-inch alloy wheels. On higher trims, ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and driver memory settings are also available.

Over-the-air software updates also mean your Kia K4 technology stays current without requiring a dealership visit.
