Sporty, spacious, and safe: if you are in the market for a new car, chances are good that these three traits are important to you. Here's another word that is probably also on your mind: affordable. We all know that vehicles—even those of the no-frills variety—can be expensive, which is why it pays to be on the lookout for deals or special offers, or you can simply choose a brand like Kia that always sells budget-friendly cars.
This automaker was founded in 1944, but it didn't make cars then; it actually manufactured bicycles. Perhaps it's not a big surprise that, 30 years later, it started selling small and cost-efficient vehicles. It wasn't until the 1990s, however, that Kia finally brought its fare to the US. Since then, this automaker has become very popular with people who want fuel-efficient, fun, and affordable vehicles. If this sounds like you, then you ought to come by Rusty Wallace Kia of Knoxville, your dedicated Kia dealer near Alcoa.
If you are not sure which new Kia is right for you, upon seeing all of the models available, you're probably going to feel like a kid in a candy store. Let's start with the sedans. If you want to have an exciting driving experience every time you hit the road, Kia will accommodate you. The compact Kia K4 (the successor to the Forte) offers great handling, along with a sizable interior. If you're looking for something a little bigger, the midsize K5 (formerly called the Optima) is an excellent choice. Both of these models offer exceptional fuel economy.
If an SUV is more to your liking, you will have many Kia models to choose from. In the subcompact class, the Soul and Seltos are fantastic choices. They're both nimble and have great maneuverability. Going up the line, you will find an outstanding compact SUV, the Kia Sportage, which was one of the first Kia models that made it to our shores. Not only is this compact SUV still in production after all these years, but it's the company's best-selling model of all time.
While Kia is primarily known for its smaller cars, you may be glad to know that it also makes some larger models. The Kia Sorento is one such SUV—a three-row midsize model with great drivability, solid fuel economy figures, hybrid powertrain options, and advanced connectivity and driver assistance features. The Telluride is a slightly larger midsize SUV that can accommodate up to eight people in its three rows, and it has more cargo space and a more powerful engine. Another model that is perfect for families is the Kia Carnival, a minivan that your family will love for its amenities; it has an enormous amount of space for occupants and their stuff, along with numerous built-in safety systems.
Kia has a strong reputation for producing exceptionally fuel-efficient vehicles, but in addition to their regular gas-powered models, they also have greener fares. The Kia Niro is a hybrid subcompact SUV, and both the Sportage and Sorento can come with hybrid powertrains; even the Carnival can be a hybrid. If you never want to deal with buying gas again, Kia also makes a variety of electric vehicles: the subcompact Niro EV, compact EV6, and three-row EV9 all have long driving ranges, mighty powertrains, and can be charged up pretty quickly.
On top of our wide selection of Kia models, Rusty Wallace Kia of Knoxville also presents you with a lot of buying options. While you can find any of these models brand-new, we also have a wide inventory of used cars, including models priced under $10k. If you are interested in a vehicle that's close to new but doesn't come with a new car's price, you will want to check out our pre-owned models.
