If you've ever heard from someone that Kia vehicles are inferior to other automakers', then not only have you heard incorrectly, we implore you to come to the lot to see for yourself why these fun, fuel-efficient and value-filled cars are the best way to rule the road – with style. We have a menu with links to informative model pages below, with comparisons between Kia vehicles and Mazda vehicles from the same class. If you're looking to see not only how the Kia Optima does vs. the Mazda6, but how the Sportage does vs. the Nissan Rogue, you're in luck, because we also have included links to model comparison pages between Kia and Hyundai, Honda, Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen.
Before we get started, here's a few additional benefits of Kia vehicles:
The Kia Forte is a performance-driven compact, with a sleek exterior and plenty of power and climate-control options. Oh, and it also comes at a lower price than the Mazda3 4-Door.
2019 vs 2018 Mazda3
vs 2017 Mazda3 4-Door
vs 2016 Mazda3 4-Door
2016 Forte5 vs 2016 Mazda3 5-Door
The Kia Optima is a bold, European-sport-styled sedan with vastly superior power, passenger room and value when compared with the Mazda6. The experts love the Optima, too, giving it several awards.
It hardly seems fair, with the versatile and fun Sportage up against the CX-5, when the Sportage has wins for design (Red Dot Design Award), safety (IIHS Top Safety Pick), and horsepower to spare.
The Kia Sorento has space for a large group, the ability to tear up the streets or go off-road, and fuel economy that is rare for a midsize SUV, with nearly 30 mpg highway.
The Kia Seltos is a recent addition to the Kia lineup. It offers a rugged disposition for adventurers while also providing many different features to make each ride a fun one.
