Kia’s X-Pro & X-Line Trims

Choosing your adventure companion has never been easier. Kia offers two excellent trim packages for drivers seeking a highly capable SUV: the X-Pro and the X-Line. Both trims come with standard all-wheel drive, giving you the freedom to forge your own path. With just the push of a button or a turn of a knob, you can seamlessly switch between terrain modes to tackle any road or weather condition.

Off-Roading Capabilities

The Kia X-Line Trim is like your trusty sidekick—reliable, rugged, and always ready for a spontaneous trip off the beaten path. Think gravel roads, scenic overlooks, and weekend escapes.

The Kia X-Pro Trim? That’s your wild card. It’s packed with extra off-road muscle, perfect for tackling gnarly trails and unpredictable terrain. If your adventures take you deep into the mountains or far from civilization, the X-Pro has your back.

Wheels Built for the Journey

When it comes to wheels, size matters—but so does purpose.

The X-Line rolls on larger wheels that give it a sleek, bold stance, great for navigating between city streets and dirt roads.

The X-Pro swaps larger wheels for smaller ones fitted with all-terrain tires, enhancing grip and control on rough surfaces.
