What is the difference between the Kia Telluride and the Kia Sorento? +
The Sorento is a midsize three-row SUV available in gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid configurations, with seating for up to seven and a more compact footprint suited to East Tennessee families who want flexibility without an oversized vehicle. The Telluride is Kia's full-size flagship three-row SUV with a more premium interior, more third-row legroom, and a larger cargo area. For families who routinely carry seven or eight passengers or want the most spacious Kia SUV for trips through the Smokies or along I-40, the Telluride is the stronger choice.

What is the difference between the Kia Sportage and the Kia Seltos? +
The Seltos is Kia's subcompact crossover, sized for easy navigation around Farragut and Turkey Creek, with a lower starting price suited to solo drivers or smaller households. The Sportage is a step larger, with more cargo room, available hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, more advanced technology across the trim range, and greater interior refinement. For buyers who want a more capable daily SUV and plan to grow into it, the Sportage is the better investment.
What safety and driver-assist technology is standard on new Kia vehicles? +
Most new Kia models include Kia Drive Wise as standard equipment, covering forward collision avoidance assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane keeping assist, driver attention warning, and high beam assist. Higher trims and packages add blind spot collision warning, rear cross-traffic collision warning, safe exit warning, and navigation-based smart cruise control. Specific availability varies by model and trim.
