Think of the 2019 Kia Sorento as the shortstop of crossover SUVs. This three-row crossover does just about everything well, and some things even better for 2019 thanks to some tweaks to its suspension and steering. It’s roomy, comes standard with three rows of seats, offers a sophisticated V-6 engine teamed to a new 8-speed automatic, and... More Info...
The 2019 Kia Soul cruises into the latest model year with all its charm intact, with its sole glaring fault still on the order sheet. The 2019 Soul, Soul Plus, and Soul Exclaim continue to dole out impeccably youthful style, decent economy-car bona fides, and excellent interior space, not to mention a strong warranty. What the Soul still... More Info...
The 2019 Kia Sportage may lack some of the spunky visual appeal of the related Kia Soul hatchback, but it’s just as well. It sells and performs well based on its crossover-SUV credentials, not on an on-point shape. The Sportage does more than the Soul with its available turbo-4 drivetrain, too—and it offers all-wheel drive to boot. We... More Info...
The 2019 Kia Rio proves that simple is better when it comes to compact cars. This year, choosing a 2019 Rio is even simpler: Kia trimmed the Rio lineup in half, meaning color is the only thing most shoppers will need to pick. The Rio earns 5.2 out of 10 on our scale for its bucks-up feel at a low price. This year’s slimmed-down lineup to LX... More Info...
The 2019 Kia Niro is efficiency without pretense. Kind of like an office stapler, but with a better stereo, perhaps. As Kia’s dedicated electrified model, no version of the Niro is sold without a hybrid battery. (A Niro with a much bigger battery and no gasoline engine is due soon, we hear.) We give the 2019 Niros that are on sale now a 6.0... More Info...
With the 2019 Stinger, Kia swings for the fences. BMW, Audi, Benz? It takes on all of them on their home turf with grand-touring bona fides: supple ride quality, a powerful twin-turbo engine, and a lissome fastback body. We enjoy its balance, and even if it’s not the most accomplished track car, it’s a raging bargain compared to its... More Info...
Aside from the badge, it’s difficult to distinguish the 2019 Kia Cadenza from a full-fledged luxury sedan. With acres of interior space, a comfortable ride, and impressive features and technology at a palatable price, the 2019 Cadenza warrants a commendable 6.2 out of 10 on our scale. (Read more about how we rate cars.) Sedans may be a... More Info...
It’s not easy to stand out from the crowd, but the 2019 Kia Optima makes its mark among mid-size sedans with cut-above styling and a raft of newly standard safety gear not found on some of its rivals. The 2019 Optima’s nip-and-tuck styling update isn’t what will lure shoppers into showrooms; instead, a bevy of features such as... More Info...
The 2019 Infiniti QX30 is a pint-sized crossover SUV with a German heart and Japanese curves. While on the small side even for a subcompact luxury crossover SUV, it’s fun-to-drive and had has a quality feel, warranting a 5.6 out of 10 rating overall. (Read more about how we rate cars.) For 2019, Infiniti made minor changes to the QX30... More Info...
The 2019 Nissan Murano is a five-seat crossover SUV that trades on its rakish lines and plush ride. Its looks alone make it a standout among competitors such as the comparatively pedestrian Honda Passport and Jeep Grand Cherokee, but the Murano is worth a look for its good performance and honest intentions. We rate the 2019 Murano at 6.0 out of... More Info...
