Performance & Driving

• It’s reasonably capable with the 2.4L engine for everyday driving. Good in snow or slippery conditions thanks to AWD.

• Not particularly quick: from what I found, 0-60 mph for the 2.4L AWD LX is roughly 9-10 seconds in good conditions. Automobile Catalog

• Handling is competent — comfortable ride, though not sporty. The AWD system adds weight, which slightly reduces fuel efficiency relative to FWD versions.

Pros & Advantages

• Versatility: Good combination of passenger and cargo space. Useful cross between comfort & utility.

• All-Weather Capability: AWD is helpful in rain, snow, or slippery roads.

• Reputation & Warranty: Kia tends to give a good warranty; parts/service are reasonably accessible.

• Fuel Efficiency (for an AWD midsize): The 2.4L AWD gets decent highway mileage compared to larger engines or V6 AWD versions.
