Best Cars for Graduates

What are the best cars for high school and college graduates? There are some common denominators that make sense for drivers in this age group. Most important among them are:

• Affordability. Many are looking at college tuition or paying off college loans or may be just starting a career. There are really good cars at great prices.
• Safety. The insurance rates for this age group are high and they are high because of the number of accidents each year involving teens and young adults.  Advanced safety technologies come standard on Kia vehicles; whereas, they may often be options or offered on higher trim levels for other manufacturers.
• Cost of Ownership. Considering a 5-year cost to own is just as important as the purchase price. Low maintenance costs are a plus. With Kia Country’s exclusive Owner’ Edge, you get an added $3000 in value including your first two oil changes.

Kia Country is delighted to offer so many vehicles that are ideally suited for graduates including the all-new Seltos, the iconic Soul, the ideal subcompact the Forte, and the small but mighty Rio. We aren’t the only ones that think so.

Experts Rave

U.S. News and World Report named the 2020 Kia Soul the Best Subcompact SUV for the Money and the 2020 Kia Forte the Best Compact Car for the Money. AutoTrader picked the all-new 2021 Kia Seltos as a top ten pick for graduates and Motor Trend recommends Soul, Forte, Niro and Rio for recent graduates.

These vehicles hit all the marks for affordability and safety which make them a practical choice. Fun to drive, top notch infotainment and sound systems, standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto may broaden the appeal to young drivers.

Come in for a test drive and see why Kia is the best choice for graduates looking for a new car or a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle.

Quality. Value. Peace of Mind.
