Kia Models Vs. Mercedes-Benz

For vehicle shoppers, two reasons exist to spend more on an upscale vehicle. The first, and least interesting, reason is the badge. Some drivers will always spend more money on a vehicle simply because it has the badge that they believe best communicates their own values. These drivers are often buying a vehicle, not for themselves, but rather to communicate status and importance to their friends, family or coworkers.

The second is by far the one we’re more interested in. These shoppers are looking to buy a car, not because of how it will make others think about them, but strictly for themselves. They’re interested in getting the most luxurious features, sophisticated styling that makes them feel something every time they see it, and a vehicle that can switch between a smooth touring ride or aggressive and stiff track monster at a moment’s notice.

For the second group of drivers, Kia has built some of the most luxurious and well-equipped vehicles available on the market today. Not only do these vehicles outclass the staid luxury badges of old like Mercedes-Benz, with their available features and styling, but they provide more for less – allowing drivers to get more features for less money and with a better warranty.

These comparisons look at the difference between the Red Oval and the Silver Star, and show the advantages Kia enjoys without a luxury brand sitting above them as Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Ford and Hyundai all have.
