Kia vehicles with all-wheel drive

For years, only Kia crossovers and SUVs came available with AWD. The 2018 lineup is mostly the same, as the new Sportage and Sorento both come in basic front wheel drive as well as AWD. It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that both of those models come with AWD. Most crossovers in these respective classes come with AWD. The biggest news about this, however, is perhaps that the first non-SUV Kia with AWD is finally available in 2018. Is it the Niro? Nope. What about the Optima? Good guess, but no. It is the all new 2018 Kia Stinger. Kia’s new sports car comes with a base rear-wheel drivetrain and is available in AWD which optimizes and maximizes performance. This is big news because the Stinger is now the only sedan made by Kia to feature AWD!
