To explore and feel the thrill of adventure, the 2024 Kia EV9 allows you to haul your gear. A robust towing capacity of 5,000 lbs. will enable you to tow a small camper boat, utility trailer, or even a pair of jet skis. Its self-leveling rear suspension and trailering mode provide a controlled ride even on challenging terrain. A generous ground clearance of 7.8 inches ensures that the EV9 doesn’t bottom out or get stuck and easily navigates gravel roads, dirt trails, or snowy paths. An Onboard Power Generator transforms the 2024 EV9 into a mobile power hub, offering up to 1,920 watts to charge appliances, laptops, or even electric bikes. What’s more, you can also use it for your outdoor movie night!
The interior of the 2024 Kia Telluride speaks volumes about its family-friendliness with its undeniable upscale feel and comfort. It boasts driver’s seat memory settings, a head-up display, and luxurious nappa leather upholstery. With ample room for eight passengers or optional seating for seven with captain’s chairs, the Telluride’s cabin is exceptionally spacious, promising comfort to those in the back rows. With a maximum cargo volume of 87 cu. ft., you can transport luggage, sports equipment, camping gear, strollers, or even larger items like furniture for home improvement projects. Meanwhile, the Driver Talk feature amplifies your voice in the back rows. It is perfect for answering the perennial question, “Are we there yet?”
There will be no more awkward maneuvering to reach the third row in the 2024 Sorento. The reclining second-row captain’s chairs slide forward at your touch to allow easy access to the third row or fold over to create additional cargo space. The Smart Power Tailgate automatically opens when the Smart Key is detected so that you don’t fumble for your keys when your hands are full of groceries or a bawling toddler. The 2024 Sorento has a dual-level cargo floor for accommodating taller items or concealing valuables. Suppose your family has a penchant for adventures. In that case, you can opt for excursion accessories, such as a bike rack and rooftop cargo box, easily attached to the available roof rails. Importantly, the Sorento prioritizes safety with advanced technologies like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind Spot Assistance, a 360º Surround View Monitor, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Safe Exit Assist, ensuring peace of mind for families on the road.
