Quoris is a large and respectable sedan. Of the Korean competitors in its class, it is opposed only by Hyundai's Equus. Koreans have learned to make luxury sedans, and they are much cheaper than their European competitors. Starting price Quoris - 2 400 000 rubles.

SUVs and crossovers
KIA Sportage is the company's most popular crossover. High quality, comfort and low price (from 900 thousand rubles) created a high demand for this car.
Soul is the youngest crossover. The car is more like a minivan, thanks to its square shapes. A very extraordinary car, which, unfortunately, is not so common on the roads.
Sorento - an old-timer of the company. He survived more than one restyling and not one generation. The large family SUV has a luxury version of Prime.
Mohave is the flagship SUV of the Korean company. The price of the minimum configuration is 2,300,000 rubles. The large and powerful Mohave feels like the king of the road under all conditions and coverage. Outside the asphalt, the car also proves worthy.
