As the weather heats up, so does the car market—and summer is historically one of the most popular times to shop for a new vehicle. Whether you’re planning a road trip, upgrading your daily driver, or sending a student off to college, the summer season offers an ideal window to explore your options. At Planet Kia Charlotte, we’re seeing exciting summer car buying trends that make it a great time to consider a new or used Kia.

Why Summer Is a Prime Time to Buy
- Model Year Transition Means More Deals
Automakers begin to release next year’s models during the summer months, which often means special offers on remaining current-year inventory. For example, we’re already starting to see early interest in upcoming 2025 models—like the all-new Kia K4—while also offering excellent deals on remaining 2024 inventory. - Summer Road Trips Call for Reliable, Fuel-Efficient Cars
Whether you’re heading to the beach or the mountains, drivers want vehicles that are efficient, comfortable, and road-trip ready. Kia’s lineup of sedans and SUVs—including the Kia Sportage, Sorento, and Forte—are popular summer picks for their strong fuel economy, spacious interiors, and top safety ratings. - Used Vehicle Demand Remains Strong
Many shoppers are also turning to quality used vehicles to get more value without compromising on features. At Planet Kia Charlotte, our pre-owned inventory includes a variety of makes and models, all carefully inspected for quality and backed by excellent service.
Kia: A Smart Choice for Summer and Beyond
Kia continues to stand out for its commitment to value, technology, and reliability. Here’s why summer buyers are gravitating toward the Kia brand:
- Exceptional Warranty Coverage – Kia’s industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty gives shoppers peace of mind.
- Award-Winning Safety Features – Many Kia vehicles come standard with Kia Drive Wise, a suite of advanced driver-assistance features.
- Hybrid and EV Options – Kia continues to expand its eco-friendly lineup with vehicles like the Kia Niro, EV6, and Sportage Hybrid, perfect for drivers looking to save at the pump during long summer drives.
