Kia Reviews

The Toyota Kluger and Kia Sorento are seven-seater SUVs and Aussie family favourites, but we discovered in this comparison that they're very different in a few important ways.

Kia's latest Sorento looks the part and now an innovative plug-in hybrid powertrain has brought it up to speed mechanically. But is the large price tag attached to it justified?

Small in stature, and on fuel use, the Kia Niro Hybrid PHEV Sport is billed as the eco-friendly answer in the small SUV space. So does it live up to the hype? We put it to the test to find out.

People movers are not just vans anymore. These days they’re less box-on-wheels and completely decked out with all the fancy equipment to make them as comfortable as possible.If you’ve got more than five children, you’ll probably need a people carrier like one of these. And if you’re always moving large, bulky items that’s another good reason to get one. But which is the best? Today we’ve got a people mover comparison lining up two stand-outs, the top-of-the-range Kia Carnival Platinum, costing $64,680, before on-road costs and extras, and the Volkswagen Multivan Comfortline Premium, which is second from the bottom of the range and costs $61,990, before on road costs and extras. The Carnival seats eight people while the Multivan seats seven, they’re both technically 'vans', and are huge inside. But which is the best people mover to suit your needs? Let’s get into it so you can decide! 

Big families and hotel shuttles have never had it so good. Recently launched, the fourth-gen eight-seater Kia Carnival is already something of a style icon; in up-spec SLi guise, the cabin presentation is elevated, backed up by an equally refined V6; space, comfort and convenience are there to be enjoyed; and it's actually fun to drive. Even if you don't have kids, why not? Life enhancing stuff.

The Kia Niro bursts onto the electric scene with big range, a mainstream SUV shape, and typical Kia practicality, but is it too little to late for the Korean brand?

The Kia Niro is the first venture into hybrid/electric motor territory for Kia in Australia. In this review we roadtest the hybrid and see how this small SUV works for a family.

The Kia Stonic is a small SUV that is smaller than Kia's other small SUV, the Seltos, and is a great option to a regular city hatch. Does it have enough space for a family? Find out here.

Small cars may be falling out of favour as the SUV wave continues to flood the local new car market. But there are still plenty of worthy contenders, and Kia has just upped the ante with a revised version of its Cerato hatch and sedan.

The Kia Niro range is the brand's first step into electrifcation, with two different trim levels across hybrid (HEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and full electric (EV) powertrains. No other small SUV on the market has this array of powertrains, and it gives Kia a strong position in the field of electric and hybrid cars in Australia. But is it any good?
