Unfortunately, if you’re looking for a Kia Soul with third-row seats, you won’t be able to find one. The Soul only seats a maximum of five people.

The Kia Soul has a lot going for it—it’s a highly-rated SUV with quirky exterior styling, a roomy cabin, and excellent value. But the one thing it doesn’t have is a third row. There are, however, other Kia models that can step up to provide the space and seating that you need.

Take a look at our brief overview of the Kia Soul and alternatives that can accommodate your need for a third row. Whether you’re taking your kids to dance lessons, soccer practice, or summer camp, there’s a Kia that can get the job done. Let’s take a look at your options.

2022 Kia Sorento

The Kia Sorento is a good choice if you only use the third row on occasion. The back seats aren’t as comfortable for adult passengers and they limit the cargo capacity of this otherwise family-friendly SUV.

If you also have fuel efficiency on the mind, the Sorento has a hybrid and plug-in hybrid option—a great way to save money on gas and reduce your family’s carbon footprint! With an Editors’ Choice award from Car and Driver, the Sorento is a solid choice for a three-row SUV.

2022 Kia Telluride

With a perfect 10/10 rating and an Editors’ Choice award from Car and Driver, the Kia Telluride is “attractive, affordable, and practical”—a perfect SUV for families.

The third row is available as either a bench or captain’s chairs, allowing eight or seven passengers respectively. Since the Telluride has a longer body than the Sorento, the back seats are roomier and there’s more cargo room. Both back rows fold flat to allow even more hauling space.

If you have the budget, the Telluride is the best option for a three-row Kia.
