For the sake of this comparison, and keeping it on topic, we will be staying away from the Kia Stinger, the Kia Cadenza, and the Kia K900. This is primarily due to their vast differences in price and their target audiences. We will instead be focusing on the more budgeted and consumer-focused Kia sedans.

*Combined fuel economy rating varies depending on the choice of engine and transmission.

Things progress as expected for the most part, with space, power, and price increasing with each size boost of the sedans. The only big surprises to point out is that the 2019 Kia Forte actually has the best fuel economy out of the 3 when equipped with a CVT. Additionally, the 2019 Kia Optima has a lot of variation in terms of engine options, supplying power that rivals a large SUV at its top-tier build.
