Shopping for the best Kia for families doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Around Daphne, life moves fast — school mornings, ball games, weekend trips to Gulf Shores. The right SUV can make all of that easier, giving you space, safety, and comfort without breaking the budget.
At Kia of Daphne, we’ve seen three models stand out for local families: the Carnival, the Telluride, and the Sportage.
2025 Kia Carnival: A Van That Doesn’t Feel Like One
The 2025 Kia Carnival takes the family van and gives it a modern twist. It has wide sliding doors that make school drop-off a breeze, plus seating for up to eight. Parents love the roomy cabin and handy storage spots, while kids appreciate the available rear-seat entertainment.
Safety is front and center, too, with features like Lane Keeping Assist and Safe Exit Assist. And because it has generous cargo space, you’ll have no problem fitting coolers and beach chairs for a Saturday by the water.

2025 Kia Telluride: Space and Style for Big Families
If your crew needs extra room, the 2025 Kia Telluride is tough to beat. It’s one of the most popular 2025 Kia SUVs with 3rd row, offering space for up to eight passengers. The ride feels calm and quiet, even when you’re hauling kids and gear across Mobile.
The Telluride comes loaded with family-friendly touches, like wireless Apple CarPlay® and available dual sunroofs that make long drives more fun. Need to tow a boat down to the bay? This SUV can handle it. It’s a mix of comfort, power, and style that makes it easy to see why so many Daphne families put it at the top of their list.
2025 Kia Sportage: Easy to Drive, Ready for Errands
Not every family needs three rows. The 2025 Kia Sportage is a great fit if you want something smaller but still versatile. It seats five, yet has plenty of cargo room for groceries, sports equipment, or a stroller.
It’s easy to park around town, fuel-efficient, and has safety features like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist. Many parents like the Sportage because it feels practical but still stylish, and it’s perfect for everyday errands in Daphne or quick weekend escapes.
