Used Kia Frequently Asked Questions
Is a used Kia a reliable car?
Absolutely. Kia consistently ranks highly in reliability studies, offering dependable vehicles that can provide many years of trouble-free motoring.
Are Kia cars expensive to maintain?
No, parts are readily available, and fuel-efficient engines help keep running costs low, making ownership very affordable.
How long do Kia engines last?
With regular maintenance, Kia engines often reach 155,000-220,000 miles, and some examples exceed 250,000 miles. Hybrid and electric models can potentially last even longer due to fewer moving parts.
What is the best used Kia to buy?
City drivers may prefer the Picanto or Rio, while families may find the Ceed, Sportage, or Sorento more practical.
Which Kia model holds its value best?
Models like the Kia Telluride, Forte, Soul, and Sportage are known to retain value particularly well.
Sportage vs Sorento: which Kia SUV is right for my family?
The Sportage is a popular 5-seater SUV offering style and practicality. The larger Sorento comes as a 7-seater, ideal for bigger families or those needing extra space.
What exactly is the 'GT-Line' trim and is it worth it?
GT-Line is a sport-inspired trim with sculpted bumpers, larger alloy wheels, and sporty interior touches. It delivers the appearance of high-performance GT models with lower running costs.
What should I look for when buying a used Kia?
A full service history is essential. Check for outstanding recalls and ensure all electronics and features are fully functional.
What is the difference between Kia's Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) models?
Hybrid (HEV) uses braking energy to charge a small battery, assisting the petrol engine for better economy. Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) has a larger battery that can be charged externally, allowing up to around 30 miles of pure electric driving.
