Kia Certified Pre-Owned Progam Review

Overview

Whether you’re looking for a recently discontinued Stinger sports sedan or another more popular late-model Kia vehicle, you can find many low-mileage used examples with plenty of the lengthy original powertrain warranty remaining in the Kia Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program. In addition, each Kia CPO vehicle comes with a multipoint inspection and reconditioning and a free Carfax vehicle history report to deliver a quality automobile confidently to the brand’s customers. Kia recently added the Lite level to its CPO program, certifying older, quality pre-owned vehicles with many of the same benefits as its primary tier, including limited warranty coverage and a year of roadside assistance.
