Kia provides great vehicles that offer both power and capability. There’s no shortage of ingenuity and performance, and each subsequent model is a level above its predecessor. So, if you’re searching for a vehicle with enough towing capacity to haul a trailer or transport heavy equipment, your local Kia dealer could have several new models that fit the criteria in stock.

Towing Capacity of the Kia Telluride

This flagship SUV boasts an incredible tow rating of 5,000 lbs standard for all trims including the LX, EX, and SX Prestige. Upgrading to the X-pro model will add an extra 500 lbs to the already impressive 2.5-ton towing limit as well as a heavy-duty engine cooling system and other enhancements. This makes it ideal for families looking to tow boats, campers, or trailers for outdoor adventures.



Kia Sorento

Another SUV in the Kia lineup known for its towing prowess is the Sorento. It comes equipped with a powerful 3.3 liter V6 engine that can tow 5,000 pounds in all-wheel drive. The versatile interior and ample cargo space make it a popular choice for towing trailers and other heavy loads.



Kia Sportage

Despite its compact size, the Kia Sportage offers some surprising towing capabilities, allowing the SUV to tackle almost any terrain. It can carry a maximum of 2,000 lbs with trailer brakes installed in addition to its own weight and is well suited for towing smaller trailers, jet skis, or lightweight campers. It is powerful and sleek, and can also be great for off-roading.



Kia Carnival

Although primarily recognized as a spacious, family-friendly minivan, The Kia Carnival also impresses its ability to tow sizeable loads. With a maximum carrying capacity of 3,500 pounds, it can handle just about any task with comparative ease. Its versatile seating configurations and ample cargo space make it a great option for families and individuals alike. Driver assistant features such as forward collision avoidance, lane following and lane departure warning are also integrated for a safer experience while driving.



Kia K900

The K900 luxury sedan would not be first in line when exploring vehicles with super impressive towing capabilities but it can handle 2,000 pounds of drag extremely well. This model is great for towing smaller loads such as trailers or boats. Its upscale interior and smooth ride make it an attractive choice for those seeking luxury as well as high performance.
