Kia automatic cars

The vast majority of the Kia range is available with an automatic gearbox, including everything from the small Picanto and Rio hatchbacks to family SUVs, the Sportage and seven-seat Sorento. In between, there’s the Ceed family-size hatch and estate, plus MPVs and large family cars.

Kia has a large range of cars that cover pretty much every need and taste. If you need a VW Golf-size family car, you can choose from the sensible Ceed hatchback and estate, sleek ProCeed, characterful Soul, Niro hybrid/electric car, or Carens MPV. There also are the Picanto city car, Rio supermini, large Optima saloon/estate and Stonic, Sportage and Sorento SUVs.

Kia has such a large range of automatic models available – including diesels, hybrids and electric cars – that there’s likely to be one that suits your needs and budget. They provide reliable transport, as well – the brand finished well above average in the latest JD Power UK Vehicle Dependability Study. They feel solidly built and have user-friendly interiors with lots of equipment.

Automatic Kia models are generally fuel-efficient – even the big Sorento SUV – and are extremely reliable, so running costs should be low. They’re well equipped and keenly priced, so represent good value.
