Summer is here, and its time to go fishing, camping, or water skiing. When people in Columbus, GA need a new or used vehicle to tow their favorite toys to the lake, they come to Kia AutoSport Columbus. We have a large selection of Kia SUVs that are plenty capable of pulling a load.

New Kia Sorento

If you'd like a midsize SUV, the new Kia Sorento has a gritty available 290-horsepower V6 engine and eight-speed automatic transmission. With this powertrain, Auburn drivers can tow up to 5,000 pounds - plenty enough to tow a good-sized boat or camper. Other towing stats for the Sorento include:

The Kia Sorento also has available Dynamax™ all-wheel-drive that can help you get through muddy or water-covered trails to your ideal camping spot. People in Opelika, AL will appreciate that it doesn't cost much for gas to get them to their prime adventure location, since the Sorento gets up to 29 mpg on the highway when properly equipped.

 

New Kia Telluride

If you need a three-row SUV for your family or camping buddies, consider the all-new Kia Telluride. This midsize SUV has only one available engine, but it has more than enough power for LaGrange, GA drivers. Its 291-horsepower V6 engine also delivers 262 pound-feet of torque. Towing numbers for the Telluride include:

• Base towing capacity: 5,000 pounds
• Maximum towing capacity: 5,000 pounds

Phenix City, AL drivers who bring a lot of camping equipment on excursions will like that the Telluride has more cargo space than most SUVs in its class. It has 21 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, 46 cubic feet behind the second row, and a maximum of 87 cubic feet with both rows folded down.

 

Both the Kia Sorento and Kia Telluride have plenty of towing power for summer fun. Kia AutoSport Columbus has both models available in our massive inventory. Come see us and test drive one or both today.
