Kia KX7
- Year: 2016 – 2021
The Kia KX7, marketed primarily in certain Asian markets (and sometimes known by different names in other regions), is a mid-size SUV sitting above the Sportage (KX5) in Kia's lineup. It usually features a more robust build and larger dimensions, providing greater passenger and cargo space compared to its smaller sibling. Engine options generally lean towards more powerful V6 or turbocharged four-cylinder units, catering to those needing more towing capacity or a stronger performance feel. While specific features vary depending on the market and trim level, the KX7 typically includes similar technology and safety features as the KX5, but potentially with more advanced options and higher-end materials. Its design emphasizes a more substantial and often more luxurious aesthetic than the KX5, targeting a slightly more upscale customer base. The KX7 directly competes with other mid-size SUVs in its regional markets.
