School Is Back In Session—Arrive Safely With Pride Kia of Lynn
Kia Models With 5-Star Safety Ratings
Your family's safety on the road becomes the top priority during the school year. To provide peace of mind for every trip, consider these family-friendly Kia SUVs that have earned an overall 5-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for the 2026 model year:
- Kia Sorento: The Kia Sorento offers three rows in a midsize footprint, providing room for carpool duty without the parking-lot stress of a full-size SUV.
- Kia Sportage: Equipped with available all-wheel drive, the Kia Sportage makes handling snowy mornings effortless. And, with a spacious cargo area, parents can easily stow backpacks, sports gear, and science projects without compromising on rear-seat comfort.
- Kia EV9: With no fuel stops on the way to first period, the all-electric, three-row Kia EV9 makes the daily commutes to and from campus a breeze.
Features Built For The School-Day Hustle
While safety ratings provide essential peace of mind, the best back-to-school vehicles are the ones packed with smart technology and intuitive design elements that transform chaotic Winthrop morning drop-offs into seamless transitions. From advanced cabin communication to highly adaptable seating configurations, these Kia models offer features specifically designed to support your family's schedule:
- Kia Telluride: This three-row SUV offers Passenger Talk, a convenience feature that uses the cabin microphone and speakers to allow front-seat riders to talk to the back row without turning around or raising their voice.
- Kia Carnival: This MPV makes multitasking easy with Slide-Flex seating, allowing you to quickly shift the second-row middle seat for better access between rows. Plus, the Passenger View with Night Vision feature lets you keep an eye on everyone in the back, even during those late-night drives home from practice.
