Kia Family Cars

Why choose a Kia family car?

So, why are Kia cars so popular with families? Here are just a few of the reasons why…

1. Plenty of choice

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to family cars. Kia understands this, creating a range far beyond the usual SUVs and people carriers that are common choices as family cars. Kia cars work for every family, no matter their requirements. 

If you’re a smaller family or are looking for a second family car to ease the pressure of family life, the Kia Picanto could be a great choice. This five-door compact city car is small enough to nip through busy town centres with ease while still offering enough space for five. It also benefits from lower insurance rates and is economical, saving you money on running costs. 

What sets Kia apart from other family car manufacturers is its range of mid-size cars, proving that family cars don’t need to be huge to be practical. 

The Ceed family of cars provides excellent options for perfectly proportioned mid-size family cars. Choose from the Kia Ceed, a five-door family hatchback often compared to the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf, or the family estate car option in the Kia Ceed Sportswagon. A lower ride can be found in the Kia ProCeed, the brand’s sports-inspired take on an estate car, while the Kia Xceed offers a higher road position thanks to its hatchback-meets-SUV design. 

Speaking of SUVs, Kia’s range isn’t short of options. Highlights include the ever-popular Kia Sportage with enough space for you, the kids and the dog to travel comfortably, or the 7-seater Kia Sorento and EV9. The EV9 is fully electric, helping to reduce your monthly motoring costs. 

1. Safety

No matter which type of Kia family car you decide is right for you, you’ll need to know it's safe for your family. Thankfully, many Kia cars have received the highest safety ratings (five starts) in Euro NCAP safety tests, the industry standard for rating car safety. 

Made from ultra-high tensile steel, Kia family cars are sturdy and well-built, which means they’re better able to withstand impact in an accident. Multiple airbags carefully positioned around the inside will keep the driver and passengers safe.

Perhaps most impressive is the on-board safety designed to prevent an accident from happening in the first place. Highlights include driver favourites like front and rear parking sensors to make reverse parking a breeze, to lane departure alerts to prevent you from drifting across lanes. 

Other handy features include automatic braking, tyre pressure monitoring and rear passenger alert, which lets you know if someone has been left behind in the car. 

1. Affordable

You won’t run into many problems with a Kia family car. In the What Car? Reliability Survey 2023, Kia was ranked eighth out of 32 car brands with a 93.8% reliability score. Many of the respondents to the survey said Kia’s warranty covered the cost of the repairs their car needed. 

As well as saving money on repairs, you can save on your running costs by switching to an electric family car. Take the Kia Soul EV. This all-electric SUV offers up to 280 miles on a single charge. The best bit? You’ll only pay around £20 to charge the car fully at home, or around 7p per mile! 

You don’t necessarily have to switch to an electric family car to reduce your motoring expenses. Kia offers a wide range of fuel-efficient petrol engines and hybrid options that balance the best of both worlds by combining a petrol engine with an electric motor. Use your electric range for shorter journeys and make your fuel go further.
