Kia Is Now Offering Test Drives On Demand Right At Your Door

The coronavirus outbreak forced dealerships to embrace online sales. Kia has introduced a new on-demand road test service, continuing the trend towards accessibility. Clients may arrange an at-home test drive of the all-new Carnival as well as the Niro EV through Kia's webpage, where they can also choose which vehicle they want to ride.

An hour-long session will begin when a Kia@Home specialist arrives at the client’s home and gives them a full walkaround as well as a test drive. Clients can work with the local dealer to acquire one after that.

Kia is currently taking appointments, but the service is only accessible in a few cities: Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Washington, D.C.

Considering that the Carnival is brand new, Kia is placing a stronger focus on the minivan, which will be accessible for at-home practice runs in additional cities, namely Phoenix and Tampa, Houston, Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas/Fort Worth, Indianapolis and Orlando.

Russell Wager, Kia America's Vice President of Marketing, defined the service as tailored, convenient, and on-demand, as well as dynamic and engaging.

“The all-new Carnival MPV and all-electric Niro EV are two of Kia's most strong vehicles, and now buyers can get behind the wheel for up-close-and-personal test drives in their individual, real-world settings,” he added.

It also has the best V6 power in the class, due to a 3.5-liter engine that produces 290 hp (216 kW / 294 PS) and torque of 262 lb-ft (355 Nm).
