If off-roading's in your blood, your Kia dealer has an impressive selection of vehicles for you: Kia Telluride, Kia Sportage, Kia Sorento, and Kia Soul. Let's explore why these classics are perfect for taking off the beaten path in Lanham, MD or beyond. Kia Telluride This three-row SUV has already developed a reputation as a great family vehicle. Now, it's increasing its off-road cred with two tough new trims. The X-Line and X-Pro both give drivers standard all-wheel drive, better ground clearance (improving approach/departure angles), and larger wheels (20-inch for the X-Line and 18-inch for the X-Pro). The X-Line's enhanced traction control, the X-Pro's all-terrain tires, and drive mode assists like Snow, AWD-Lock, and Downhill Brake Control will also help you tackle any terrain. more You'll be able to haul more adventurous cargo as well, with the new tow mode (with sway control) offered by the X-Line and the larger towing capacity (up to 5,500 pounds) served up by the X-Pro. And the latter's new 110-volt outlet and roof rails will prove ideal for your camping needs. Even the refreshed paint options invoke the great outdoors: Jungle Wood Green, Dawning Red, and Midnight Lake Blue. Kia Sportage The X-Pro trim comes to the Sportage line, too, as part of the model's new and improved design. Although the Sportage more than holds its own as an all-terrain SUV, the Pro boosts these credentials with ground clearance upgrades of 1.5 inches, 17-inch off-road wheels, all-terrain tires, and standard all-wheel drive. Plus, you'll get useful multi-terrain modes that traverse adverse conditions like snow. The fog lights and heated windshield likewise help your Sportage get used to many environmental conditions, and the overall redesign makes the Sportage bigger and mightier. It's taller, wider, and longer and beefs up cargo capacity by nearly 10 cubic feet. Ultra-high-strength steel and sound-absorbing technology further insulate you from harsher elements. Kia Sorento A revamped suspension system has upped the off-roading capability of this up-to 281-horsepower ride. And just like the Sportage, you can equip your Sorento with all-terrain tires, a heated windshield, solid off-road driving modes, fog lights, and all-wheel drive. In addition, you'll always stay connected to your surroundings with a 360 surround-view monitor and a panoramic connectivity screen. Kia Soul: Kia Dealer's Unlikely Contender in Lanham, MD This small and family-friendly SUV may not immediately come to mind when you think of off-roading but don't count it out just yet. For one, it has a significant amount of interior volume for a compact drive, logging in at almost 121 cubic feet. And it stands the test of time, too, as proven by earning J.D.
