How Kia Compares: Lineup, Warranty and Safety

So, which brand has more options for Corona drivers like you? Kia has a larger selection and a more diverse lineup. There are 19 vehicles in the Kia lineup ranging from sedans to SUVs and crossovers – and even a minivan! The Hyundai lineup is a bit more limited with 13 models and no minivan option. If you are looking to make the switch to a vehicle that is more eco-friendly for the Fontana roads, both brands do offer hybrid and EV options.

How does the Kia warranty stack up to the protection plan offered by Hyundai? Both brands offer very similar coverage, with strong warranty coverage. Both Kia and Hyundai provide a 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty on all new vehicle purchases! You can drive with complete peace of mind in San Bernardino and beyond.

Once again, you can drive with confidence behind the wheel of a new Kia or Hyundai, as both brands offer a driver-assist safety suite: Kia Drive Wise or Hyundai SmartSense. However, it is Kia that goes the extra mile by providing these standard or available features:

• Lane Following Assist
• Highway Driving Assist
• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
• Blind-Spot View Monitor
• Surround View Monitor
• Safe Exit Assist
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
• Driver Attention Warning
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
• High Beam Assist
• Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go
• Haptic Steering Wheel

In the crowded mid-size sedan segment, the Kia K5 vs. Hyundai Sonata is a popular matchup. Although both vehicles are priced similarly, the Kia K5 is often the top pick because it offers a larger variety of standard safety features like Collision Avoidance Assistance and a rear Park Distance Warning.

Compare the Kia Forte vs. Hyundai Elantra, and you will see that once again, pricing is quite similar. As is the case with the K5, the Forte offers more standard safety features. The top-tier trim of the Forte is also more affordable, so it costs less to get all of the amenities you desire.

What if an SUV is more your style? We highly recommend taking a look at the Kia Sorento vs. Hyundai Santa Fe. If you need seating for seven, the Sorento is your match. The Hyundai Santa Fe maxes out at five passengers. To have seating for seven in a Hyundai, you will have to upgrade to the more expensive Hyundai Palisade.

When you compare the Kia Sportage vs. Hyundai Tucson, the Sportage comes out on top in several key areas. It has a stronger base engine under the hood, and you can opt for a turbocharged engine if you prefer.
