Kia Models vs Lexus Models

There are really two types of drivers we run into, looking to buy luxury vehicles. The first group walk through our showroom doors, ready to find any excuse to pick a different badge than Kia. They’re badge shoppers, more interested in showing off the make of their vehicle than the comfort, convenience or performance features the vehicle possesses. We’ve been able to sway a few, but nine times out of ten, their mind is made up before they come in.

The second type is more open to being surprised by the emphasis and focus Kia has placed on creating award-winning, stylish and performance-hungry vehicles in the last 5 years. While they’re not looking for a car that provides “economy value,” they’re interested in models that can provide equal or better amenities and specs to the conventional luxury brands.

If they can do so at a lower price, it’s all the better. Kia, after all, creates vehicles that have award-winning safety and durability. Their industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile limited power train warranty and 5-year/60,000-mile limited bumper-to-bumper warranties are among the best available, while they’re models continue to win awards for design, engine technology and safety.
