Replacements for Discontinued Kia Models
As automotive trends evolve, certain Kia vehicles have been discontinued to make room for innovative new vehicles. However, for drivers who loved these models, Kia offers a variety of alternatives that provide similar performance, technology, and features. If you’re looking for new Kia models with comparable capabilities, there are plenty of great choices at Casey Kia.
Kia K4
One of our latest additions is the Kia K4, which replaces the Kia Forte. It’s a compact sedan that comes in five trims, four of which match front-wheel drive (FWD) and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. The exception is the Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo, which features FWD, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine capable of 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque.
Along with its vibrant engine choices, the Kia K4 offers plenty of other highlights. These include standout styling, abundant next-gen safety and infotainment technology, and a roomy cabin that boasts class-leading 2nd-row legroom. Also, peace of mind is guaranteed by an IIHS Top Safety Pick award and the Kia brand’s industry-leading warranty.
Kia K5
Also available at our Newport News, VA Kia dealership is the Kia K5. This midsize sedan is the larger sibling of the Kia K4 and a direct successor of the much-loved Kia Optima. It has two available engines, both complemented by an eight-speed automatic gearbox and either front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). Standard on three of this model’s four trims is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that achieves 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. The high-performance Kia K5 GT adds a turbocharger to this engine, increasing output to 290 horsepower, a segment-best 311 lb-ft of torque, and a 0 – 60 time of just 5.4 seconds.
Infotainment-wise, all trims come with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone connectivity, and dual USB ports. Moreover, select trims boasts comfort/convenience features such as a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, and ventilated front seats.
Kia EV6
The Kia Soul EV never quite caught on in the US despite being an affordable and efficient model. While we’re waiting for the Kia EV3 to arrive at dealerships, the Kia EV6 is a great alternative. It was named 2023 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year upon its debut, and its inspiring combination of swift acceleration, nimble handling, and outstanding range makes it a big favorite at Casey Kia. This EV offers two battery sizes – 63.0 kWh and 84.0 kWh – with the latter delivering a Kia-estimated range of up to 319 miles. Moreover, in its most potent form, the Kia EV6 model’s performance can reach as high as 641 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque.
The Kia EV6 offers all of the latest EV-related perks. These include standard 800-volt DC Fast Charging and the Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC). The latter provides standard over-the-air software updates to keep your Kia EV6 at the top of its game.
Warranties for New Kia Models
Kia’s industry-leading warranty coverage provides exceptional peace of mind for new vehicle owners. Every new Kia comes with a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile basic limited warranty, and 5 years/60,000 miles of roadside assistance.
