There are a lot of great cars out there today but finding a good value is considerably harder. That’s one reason that of all the brands out there we framed this QOTD around Kia. Many of their vehicles intend to offer great bang for your buck but which one is best?
Basically, the entire lineup offers the same excellent 10-year powertrain warranty in combination with a five-year limited warranty so that aspect won’t play too much of a role here. What’s different is what you think of as the most value for your money.
Kia offers everything from the huge family-friendly Carnival minivan to the going-out-of-production Stinger GT sports sedan. It also sells the seemingly timeless Soul subcompact starting at under $20k and the dapper-looking Telluride SUV starting at $35,690.

Those who want an electrified powertrain can get it too. The Niro, which we drove late last year, is a great little car and comes in three flavors of electrification. The Sportage and Sorento also feature hybrid powertrains and we haven’t even talked about the EV6 yet.
While the EV6 might be the second-most expensive Kia on offer, it’s one of the most well-rounded in its class. We liked the regular version that we drove around this time last year and we loved the extremely fast EV6 GT that we drove in Las Vegas just about a month ago. For about $61k it’ll embarrass supercar owners who don’t know how to launch their cars.
In fact, if we had to pick one ourselves, it would probably be the EV6 GT or the Stinger GT Tribute Edition since each will likely hold its value fairly well. Across the entire lineup though, these cars tend to punch above their weight in terms of quality, comfort, and styling. So which of the group do you think is the best bang for the buck? 10 of the brand’s cars start at under $30k which already gives them a leg up on competitors that start at much higher figures.
