What are the Best Kia Models to Take Camping?

Living in southern California, we are blessed with warm weather pretty much all year round. This means that we are able to road trip all around our area for camping excursions that people in other states wouldn’t normally get to partake in. Take a look below as we explore the best Kia models for camping and see how each one can bring a little adventure to your life.

Kia Cars and SUVs that are Perfect for Adventure

With “sport” right in the name, you know this vehicle means business in the athleticism department. Its Iso-Structure is extremely rigid and impressively soundproof, so no matter what kind of terrain you take the Sportage on, the cabin stays quiet. The new Sportage also comes available with a Dynamax™ All-Wheel Drive system that senses and adjusts traction requirements for changing road and weather conditions. Finally, the Sportage has up to 2,000 pounds of towing capabilities, meaning you can bring a jet ski or small pop up camper along, too.

The Kia Soul is the vehicle you want to bring when your weekend is all about fun! This uniquely-shape crossover features a whopping 61.3 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded and no cargo under tray, so there’s plenty of space for all your camping gear like tents, canopies, and equipment. The Soul can also get up to 30 miles per gallon of gas when cruising on the highway so those cross-country camping trips won’t cost an arm and a leg to fuel.


2017 Kia SedonaKia Sedona

With the Kia Sedona, you don’t even need to bring a tent! Simply utilize the new Sedona’s Slide-N-Stow® seating to lay the third row flat and push the second row up, and then throw a mattress in the back! Now you’ve got a comfortable place to sleep that is away from the elements. The Sedona also comes available with an arsenal of cool interior features that are perfect for camping, like a cooling glove box where you can stash your drinks or eight outlets for keeping your electronics all charged up when you are away from civilization. Finally, the Sedona has a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, so you’ll never have to leave behind you toys again.
