7. Kia Sportage
When it comes to finding the perfect SUV that balances style, safety, and senior-friendly features, the Kia Sportage is a standout choice. This vehicle isn’t just about getting you from point A to point B; it’s about making every journey safer, more comfortable, and truly enjoyable.
Every Kia Sportage model comes equipped with the Drive Wise package, a comprehensive suite of safety features designed to keep you secure on the road. This includes automatic emergency braking, lane keeping and centering, rear parking sensors, and a driver attention warning system that helps ensure you stay focused. While adaptive cruise control isn’t standard, it’s available on the SX trim, which also includes intersection collision mitigation—a rare feature in compact SUVs—and Kia’s advanced Highway Driving Assist, which makes highway driving smoother and less stressful.
For those who want even more, the EX trim adds blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert, while the SX Prestige trim takes it up a notch with a blind-spot camera—the only SUV on this list to offer such a feature. This trim also includes front parking sensors, a 360-degree camera system, and rear automatic braking, making parking and maneuvering in tight spaces easier and safer than ever before.
Inside, the Kia Sportage is designed with the driver in mind. The interior features many physical buttons, which are easier to use than the touch-sensitive ones found in other vehicles. The straightforward infotainment system is another plus, allowing you to stay connected without confusion. All-wheel-drive models offer a slightly higher ride height, but thanks to wide door openings, getting in and out is still a breeze. Large windows provide excellent visibility, making it easy to navigate busy streets or scenic routes. Passengers will also appreciate the Sportage’s comfortable seats and smooth ride quality, making long drives a pleasure rather than a chore.
And if you’re looking to go green, the Sportage is also available as a hybrid and plug-in hybrid, offering you more choices to suit your lifestyle.
With a starting price of $28,565 and a fuel economy of 25-28 mpg combined, the Kia Sportage is an excellent choice for seniors who want a vehicle that delivers on safety, comfort, and modern conveniences.
