How a vehicle from Kia affects insurance costs
Kias are affordable vehicles, which makes insurance more affordable as well. These cars are not costly to repair or replace, which helps to bring down the cost of insurance. Newer Kia models also do well in safety tests, another factor insurance companies consider when determining the cost of your insurance premium.
However, some Kias are targeted by thieves, which can increase the cost of insurance.
