The Best Kia Models for Driving in Sydney | Phil Gilbert Kia
One of the best things about Kia cars is that they come in a variety of different models, which means Kia motors have something to offer for everyone regardless of their preferences. As a Sydney local, you are probably familiar with the city’s heavy traffic, lack of parking and long commutes. Here’s some advice on what features to look for when choosing a city car, and a roundup of the Kia models that are best suited to driving in Sydney.
What Features to Look For
There are a few features you should look out for when buying a car that’s suited to city driving.
Fuel Efficiency
Since Sydney is known for its long commutes and heavy traffic, consider a car that is fuel efficient and can go the distance. Idling in traffic and the constant start-stop of city driving can also use up a lot of fuel, so your Kia car should have low emission rates.
Value for Money
Cars that offer good value for money – low prices but high quality – are best for city driving. The great news is Kia motors are known for manufacturing cars that are high quality, but still affordable.
Compactness
In most cities, and especially in Sydney, there is a severe lack of parking. To remedy this, consider a Kia model that is compact and can fit just about anywhere.
Handling & Reliability
Choose a Kia car that has easy handling and high reliability for your city driving. That way, you can adapt to the start-stop of city driving and will be able to navigate narrow, crowded city streets more easily.
Kia Models for City Driving
As a professional Kia car dealer, we can offer a few useful recommendations on Kia models that are best for city driving.
Kia Picanto
The Kia Picanto has been repeatedly lauded as one of the best cars for city driving. This Kia car is known for its compact and slick design, high fuel efficiency and easy navigation. The Picanto is perfect for navigating crowded city streets and tight parking spots while still being comfortable and environmentally friendly.
Kia Soul
If you’re looking for something a little bigger than the Picanto, you might want to consider the Kia Soul. Although classified as an SUV, this car is a lot more affordable and fuel efficient than your classic SUVs. With its stylish, compact design and technologies such as lane-departure warning, this car is perfect for city driving.
