Can you guess which vehicles have been picked as “Best Car and SUV for Teens $25K to $30K” by the prestigious US News & World Report’s Best Cars Research Team?

If you guessed the 2019 Kia Forte for Best Car for Teens and the 2020 Kia Soul for Best SUV for Teens, you’d be right!

Surprised?

At Ed Voyles Kia in Smyrna, Georgia we’re not surprised. In fact, we’ve been endorsing these teen-friendly rides since they’ve arrived at our dealerships in Cobb County, specifically our Smyrna and Marietta locations.

And what makes these Kia vehicles tops for teens?

Teen-Friendly 2019 Kia Forte & 2020 Kia Soul Help Protect Teens and Help Save Their Lives

First, you have to understand that automobile accidents are the leading cause of death among teenagers. Therefore, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) safety rating for a vehicle is an important factor. Also, the technologies available to alert drivers to potential hazards and those which actively intervene to lower the probability of an accident occurring, or avoid an accident altogether, are important factors. In addition, high reliability and high ratings in the automotive press are considered.

2019 Kia Forte Wins Best Car for Teens $25K to $30K US News & World Reports

For the 2019 Kia Forte, the IIHS gave its highest safety rating of “Top Safety Pick+”. There is no higher rating for crash safety given by the IIHS.

Besides receiving the IIHS top safety rating, the 2019 Kia Forte provides many crash avoidance technologies to help teens steer clear of auto accidents. The Kia Forte includes automatic emergency braking and forward-collision warning, along with lane keep assist and lane departure warning as standard equipment. No extra charge for these potentially life saving features.

The 2019 Forte does offer more safety technologies and systems as options for an additional cost. These are rear cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring, pedestrian detection and reverse parking sensors, automatic high beams and adaptive cruise control. All of these technologies can dramatically reduce the occurrence of an accident, or actively intervene to avoid an accident. This is great for teen driver safety, as well as teen parents’ peace of mind.

When considering long-term reliability, J.D. Power gave the 2019 Kia Forte an above-average reliability rating.

US News & World Reports Awards 2020 Kia Soul Best SUV for Teens $25K to $30K

The 2020 Kia Soul, like its older Forte sibling, has earned the IIHS highest safety rating of “Top Safety Pick+”. The Soul also comes with many standard safety and crash avoidance technologies, and also offers more safety and accident avoidance options at an additional price.

In addition to crash avoidance technologies, Kia provides parents a way to make sure their teen is not violating rules for driving they have agreed to. Kia does this through a smartphone app called UVO, which surprisingly stands for Your Voice. Anyway, parents will get a phone alert if their driving teen goes over the speed limit, travels further than a geographic boundary set by their parents, or are out later than their curfew. The Kia UVO app is also available for the 2019 Kia Forte.

So, when it’s time to empower your teen with a vehicle that will protect them and significantly reduce their chances for involvement in an accident, remember that two Kia vehicles are tops for teens. The 2019 Kia Forte and 2020 Kia Soul have won US News & World Reports Best New Car and for Teens $25K to $30K.

And the dealer with the largest selection of these teen-friendly Kia vehicles is Ed Voyles Kia of Smyrna, Georgia. Ed Voyles in Cobb County has the 2019 Kia Forte and 2020 Kia Soul in stock and in abundance for you and your teen to test drive today. Just give us a call and we’ll show you why your teen is safer in a Kia.

About the Kia Forte:

The 2024 Forte is a compact that packs a big punch — with performance improvements, the latest technology innovations, and sleek styling. See how the Forte’s spirit breaks the rules so you can rule the road.

Innovation can be a hassle. That’s why the all-new 2024 Forte packs an available Smart Trunk™. You don’t have to wave your hands or balance on one foot. All you need to do is stand there with the Smart Key, and voila.

True power means being untethered from rules and conventions. It means charging ahead with no strings attached. Now you can charge up as you charge your own road with available wireless charging in the GT trims of the 2024 Forte. See it in action, and hold on for the ride.

The all-new 2024 Forte is a compact that packs in the innovation. With new technology like the big 8″ touch-screen that comes standard in the LX and LXS editions and 10.25” screens in the GT trims, the world is at your fingertips and easier to command than ever. Reach out and see for yourself.

About the Kia K5:

The K5’s new sportier styling for 2024 is punctuated at every corner with striking front and rear fascia, complementing Kia’s signature tiger-nose grille. The K5 has an undeniable style that commands attention on the road.

The K5 EX exterior touches are distinctive. The outside mirrors and side sills add character and personality, while 18” gray machined finish wheels make a statement. With so many unique design details, the K5 EX is just as appealing to look at as it is to drive.

The available Smart Welcome assists by detecting your Smart Key, automatically unfolding the outside mirrors, and turning on the Optima door pocket lights—for easy entry when it’s dark. Then, just stand behind the K5 with your Smart Key, and the Smart Trunk opens automatically.

About the Kia Sportage:

Drive outside of the box in a modern compact crossover with the Kia Sportage in Smyrna. With an elegant, extroverted exterior distinguished by sweeping curves, sleek lines, and thoroughly contemporary features, the 2024 Sportage captivates the eye and inspires a sense of adventure with its dynamic styling.

The Sportage sets its own aesthetic standards for the compact crossover. Its striking tiger-nose grille, elegant side contours, prominent wheel arches, coupe-like roof, and satin silver touches achieve a precise balance between luxurious sophistication and dynamic sportiness.

Upgraded and unforgettable, the Sportage’s striking good looks begin with its front end. Elongated headlights sweep back gracefully into the body, perched above a distinctive tiger-nose grille and available LED front fog lights that help illuminate adventure.

The sporty, bold character of the Sportage expresses itself to the very end, culminating in the dashing, sculpted lines of the rear exterior.

About the Kia Sorento:

The 2024 Sorento upgrades standard utility with optimal versatility to fit any lifestyle, whether in town or off-road. The exterior facelift adds sleek, sculpted lines to its bold, wide stance, while available LED headlights illuminate your drive with a modern touch to match its personality. Best of all, with standard 3-row, 8-person seating, you can comfortably fit even more friends on your road to adventure.

Whether you’re shopping in town or camping out, the 2024 Sorento makes extra room for fun and adventure with its standard 8-person seating and flexible, spacious interior that adapts to your needs. Second-row sliding seats give rear passengers easy third-row access, while standard Remote Release lets you conveniently fold down the second row while standing at the rear of the vehicle to expand space as you pack in your cargo.

Get a helping hand next time you load up. Intuitive and automatic, the available hands-free Smart Power Liftgate™ opens when it senses your smart key—with no hands or feet required. The liftgate can be adjusted to your height preference, making closing the hatch even easier for you and easier on the ceiling of your garage. Ask our team about the Kia Sorento hybrid that is available in Smyrna today.

Just like anything else material, cars eventually breakdown as their parts get worn. Even the strongest and most reliable Kia vehicles experience this degradation which is why at Ed Voyles, we work hard to stock up on Kia parts to help keep your cars running safely and smoothly for longer.

Some parts are more prone to breakdown than others (depending on your car use), so be sure to keep an eye out for the following items:

#1: Battery Death

While drivers in colder climates have to worry more about battery death, drivers in warmer climates are also at risk. In fact, high temperatures and excessive heat can cause your car battery to corrode and leak. Heat can get trapped and made stronger under the hood and battery fluid can escape and evaporate leading to a break down.

To avoid this problem, have your battery checked often and come into our service center for a replacement if necessary.

#2: Light Burnout

Another common break down involves the lights on your vehicle. This could happen to your blinker lights, taillights, or interior lights, but the most frequent issues we see are with headlights.

This problem can occur from a simple burnout (broken filament), a wiring issue, a loose bulb, a corroded socket, and in some cases, a deeper mechanical problem. In any event, when you visit our service center we can address this issue quickly for you and have you out with a replacement in no time.

#3: Spark Plug Breakdown

As your spark plugs age, they can experience deposit buildup (from pre-ignition fuel) and material breakdown which can cause they to strain while working or stop working at all. If this happens, your car will experience shaky starts and acceleration, and could even stop starting all together.

Though they typically last for several thousand miles, if your spark plugs need to be replaced, come to see us immediately so we can help.

Where to Get Kia Parts?

Whether you are looking for Kia parts to DIY or you are looking for a trusted service center to source parts for you, we can help. Reach out to the parts center with any questions at (770) 933-5762 or drop by our Smyrna lot today.

Need a new car? A brand-new vehicle can be expensive. Fortunately, Marietta drivers can drive a new Kia car or SUV for less with a Kia lease from Ed Voyles Kia. With a Kia lease, you can be driving a top-level trim without having to pay the full price of the car. With a lease, you only make payments on the vehicle for the time of the lease. Leasing can be a more affordable option on a month-to-month basis, and if you like to drive a new car every two or three years and then upgrade to a newer one, it may allow you to drive a nicer car for less money. By leasing a new Kia, you’ll have:

• Lower repair costs because you’re covered by the vehicle’s included factory warranty for the life of the lease.
  Less sales tax.
• A decent tax write-off.
• You won’t have to deal with trade-in hassles at the end of the lease.

When the lease term ends, you can just bring your leased Kia vehicle back to Ed Voyles Kia for a trouble-free return. Additional fees could apply if you went over the mileage limits or if there was excessive wear and tear, but you can avoid that by taking good care of the vehicle. After that, you can either start a new lease with another brand-new car or purchase your leased Kia for its residual value. If you want to keep driving it, but don’t want to buy it, you can re-lease it. Leasing a new Kia car or SUV is a great way for our Marietta customers to drive a new car with lower monthly payments. The friendly finance team at Ed Voyles Kia will be glad to help you work out a plan that’s ideal for you. Stop by and see us today.
