Kia's SUVs get most of the attention, of course, but if you're open to a regular car instead, the unexpectedly cool Stinger should come as a welcome surprise. Head-turning styling comes standard inside and out, and the optional turbocharged V6 engine can really haul the mail. Related to the Genesis G70 luxury sport sedan, the Stinger does its corporate cousin one better with a handy hatchback trunk. If that's not green enough for you, try the Niro EV, a fully electric variation on the same theme.

Thanks to its standard hybrid powertrain, the Niro gets up to 50 mpg per EPA estimates, so it's more like a Toyota Prius dressed up as an SUV-looking hatchback. The two-row Sportage fills the gap between the Seltos and the Sorento, which for many shoppers means it's a just-right size for navigating the concrete jungle.Īnother 'SUV' that makes us go hmmmm, the compact Niro is at the very least a handy hauler that's a cinch to park and easy on gas. Known to Kia fans as the original Kia SUV, the Sportage soldiers on today as an intriguing alternative to best-selling small SUVs like the Toyota RAV4. Overall, the Seltos is a competitive if not outstanding entrant in the subcompact SUV category, offering a bit more space than you'd expect.

We have no problem calling it an SUV, even if most Seltos drivers won't be blasting through sand dunes like the Seltos in Kia's ad campaign. Perhaps smarting from questions like ours above about whether the Soul is really an SUV, Kia responded with the Seltos, which pairs compact dimensions with tougher styling and available all-wheel drive. What it doesn't offer is all-wheel drive, but unless you need that feature, the Soul might cover all the bases with its funky styling and versatile hatchback configuration. Is it really an SUV? Reasonable folks could differ, but it's a fact that the Soul offers as much maximum cargo capacity as many subcompact SUVs. The Sorento is both easier to park than the Telluride and easier on the wallet, and if the base engine leaves you underwhelmed, the optional turbocharged engine can launch you to 60 mph in just 6.7 seconds, or 0.8 seconds quicker than a Telluride in our testing. Thanks to a redesign for 2021, however, the current Sorento offers significantly more room in the third row, so the Telluride is no longer the automatic choice for buyers wanting adult-friendly space in all three rows. One size down from the Telluride, the Sorento can be equipped with a third-row seat that has historically been rather cramped. It's quite simply the most desirable mainstream three-row SUV on the market. No wonder dealers have been marking this rig up ever since it came out. Delivering roomy seating for three in a stylish package that works just as well for a night on the town, the Telluride is the rare family SUV that can be everything to everyone. The three-row Telluride has been nothing short of a smash hit. Throw in a sleekly futuristic interior and it's no surprise that the EV6 is one of the hottest electrified models of the year. Want more miles? The rear-drive version maxes out at 310, though power drops to 225 hp.

Under the surface, the EV6 boasts superfast charge times and your choice of rear- or all-wheel drive, the latter offering 320 horsepower and an EPA-estimated 274 miles of range. This genre-bending electric vehicle has the same 114.2-inch wheelbase as the hefty Telluride SUV (see below), yet its slinky shape evokes performance coupes and hot hatches.
