Kia’s diverse lineup caters to different needs, and understanding the difference between crossovers and MPVs will help you choose the right one.

• Crossovers: Models like the Seltos and Sportage offer a mix of car and SUV features. You get the higher driving position and ruggedness of an SUV with the smooth ride and efficiency of a car. They’re perfect if you want something stylish and versatile for city driving and some weekend adventures.
• MPVs: Multipurpose Vehicles (MPVs), like the Carnival, focus on space and flexibility. If you need lots of room for family, gear, or long trips, MPVs are designed to meet those needs. They offer extensive seating and cargo space, making them ideal if you require extra room or have a larger family.
