Test Drive a Kia in Brooklyn Park, MN

The exciting collection of Kia cars and SUVs includes models like the Stinger, EV6, and Telluride. These stylish and well-equipped vehicles have unique styling, standard features, and driving experiences.

Before you choose your next new Kia, we recommend visiting Lupient Kia of Brooklyn Park for a test drive. During your Kia test drive, you’ll see firsthand if the vehicle has the space, power, and technology that fits your budget and driving needs.

Start Your Car Test Drive with Thorough Research

Before visiting our friendly sales team near Fridley, we recommend exploring the Kia lineup through our website and the manufacturer’s website. We share our inventory so you can compare models side-by-side and find the car or SUV with the features you want. The Kia website shares the different models and trims, so you can find the vehicle that comes standard with a sunroof, turbocharged engine, and alloy wheels.

We recommend exploring the standard features, powertrain options, and fuel rating. Kia also offers hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric vehicles for drivers who want zero-emissions driving experiences. Look closely at the seating configurations, especially if you need an SUV that fits more than five people. We also share sticker prices and our latest vehicle specials to help drivers make the right choice for their budgets.

Things to Look for When Test Driving a Car

After choosing a Kia online, the next step is to visit our car dealership near Minnesota for your test drive. The important things to look for when you hit the road include how it drives on smooth and rough roads in the city, on the highway, and elsewhere. Pay attention to how the car handles and if the power steering is comfortable for you.

While you drive the car, we recommend finding a parking lot and checking that you can parallel and perpendicular park the new car you’re considering. While driving, notice if the car pulls to one side, especially at high speeds.

We also think it’s a good idea to request a vehicle history report when buying a used car. You’ll want to check the repair and maintenance record and see if the vehicle has been in any accidents.

In the parking lot, start the car and listen to it idling. Leave it running and spend time testing the air conditioning and heating system. Play with the infotainment system to see how intuitive the features are, and don’t forget to try the steering wheel controls. Adjust the driver’s seat to check for blind spots and your general comfort level.
