We at Kia of Wilmington are extremely proud to announce that the 2018 Kia Stinger was named a top-three finalist in the car category!

When it comes to safety, a vehicle that has enhanced security may be something important for Wilmington, DE, drivers. Fortunately, the 2018 Kia Soul and Sportage may have just what you are looking for.

Now when you cruise the highways of Delaware in your 2018 Sorento, you'll drive confidently knowing it's rated among the safest vehicles in the industry. That's because the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) selected the Sorento as one of its 2017 Top Safety Pick Plus recipients.

The 2018 model year marks a significant new entry into the Kia lineup: the Kia Stinger sport sedan. Designed specifically for enthusiast driving and athletic looks, the new Stinger offers a truly unique experience among the Kia new model lineup.

When you think about Kia models, chances are "sporty performance" aren't the words that first come to mind; however, with the introduction of the upcoming 2018 Kia Stinger, that might change! It's being pitted against some German competitors and, if you ask us, it could easily be the alternative sports car choice of your dreams.

There are a lot of compact crossover SUVs out there to choose from but, if you ask us, the Kia Sportage should be right at the top of your list! Need a second opinion? Well, the experts from AutoPacific recently awarded the Sportage with their coveted 2017 Ideal Vehicle Award in the Compact Crossover SUV category and we knew we had to share the news as soon as we found out!

One look at everything the 2018 Kia Sorento has to offer would be enough to fall in love with it, if you ask us, but we know that savvy drivers from the greater Wilmington, DE area demand second opinions; so, to give you unequivocal proof of how awesome the Sorento truly is, the professionals at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) have awarded it with the coveted "Top Safety Pick Plus" (TSP+) designation! Once we heard, we couldn't wait to share it with all of you.

Are you in the market for a new car or SUV? Perhaps you already know that you want a Kia or maybe you aren't certain, but would like to learn more. Either way, if you live or work in the area of Dover, DE, we have great news: our dealership, Kia of Wilmington, is just a short drive away.
