Dream Cars for Tall Drivers

Top 5 Kias for Tall Drivers in Tempe, AZ

Tall drivers know the pain of banging their knees on steering wheels and their heads on roofs all too well. You might think that’s just part of being tall, but you can stretch out and enjoy the open road when driving a car that accommodates your frame.

The Top Kias with Lots of Legroom

Kia Soul

With 62 cubic feet of cargo space, it’s no secret the 2025 Kia Soul is roomy. Still, you might not realize that the Soul’s space-friendly design makes it one of the best cars for tall drivers. Designed with a low hip-point and high roof, the Kia Soul provides 41.1 inches of legroom and up to 39.4 inches of headspace with a sunroof. If you opt for the model without the sunroof, the headroom is 39.5.

Ensuring seatbelts fit properly is another problem tall drivers face, but not when behind the wheel of the Kia Soul. All trim levels come standard with height-adjustable front seat belt anchors, so you’ll be as safe and secure as you are comfortable.

Kia Niro

Between the impressive fuel efficiency and ample room, the Kia Niro is easily one of the top Kias for tall drivers. Choose from the hybrid, plug-in hybrid (PHEV), or EV Niro, each offering 41.5 inches of legroom and 40.5 inches of headroom. Your height won’t hinder you in the backseat either since each Niro boasts 39.6 inches of rear headroom and 39.8 inches of rear legroom.

You might come for comfort, but you’ll stay for the Niro’s fuel efficiency. The no-fuss hybrid delivers best-in-class efficiency and doesn’t require a charge. With the PHEV, you can switch between the all-electric and gas engines, making it feel like driving two fuel-efficient cars rolled into one. And finally, the EV is powered entirely by electricity and boasts an impressive range on a single charge.

Kia K5

With a generous 46.1 inches of front legroom, the 2025 Kia K5 is ideal for drivers with long legs. A long torso isn’t an issue either since this midsize sport sedan provides up to 40.2 inches of clearance when there is no sunroof. With a sunroof, the headroom is 38.4 inches. If you don’t need quite as much legroom, K5 trims with panoramic sunroofs offer an ample 38.4 inches of headroom. Sunroofs come standard with the GT and EX trims and are available on GT-Line FWD and GT-Line AWD trims.

Regardless of trim level, the attractive exterior turns heads. Still, the K5 offers much more than looks alone. The quiet cabin, agile handling, and comfortable seating make driving a dream. Also, solar control glass comes standard with all trims, which is a real asset in Tempe. It keeps the cabin cooler when driving and parked, all while protecting your upholstery.

Kia EV6

Go fuel-free without compromising space with the 2024 Kia EV6. This all-electric crossover utility vehicle comes in eight trims, each providing 42.4 inches of legroom and up to 39.0 inches of headroom. That’s a far cry from the small electric cars of years ago, and it’s easy to see why it’s one of the best Kias for tall drivers.

The Kia EV6 also has an impressive all-electric range. You can take the EV6 on a round trip from Tempe to Tucson on a single charge and still have enough juice to run errands. When it’s time to replenish the electricity, Kia’s fast-charging technology will soon get you back on the road. The EV6 also has a stylish interior, high-tech features, and creative storage.

Kia Telluride

The Kia Telluride is a top pick for tall drivers in Tempe with families. The three-row midsize SUV has spacious seating for up to eight, including the driver. Tall drivers benefit from the 41.4 inches of legroom and up to 40.9 inches of headroom.

If your family likes to soak up the sun, you can choose from a trim with one or two sunroofs. You’ll only sacrifice 1.4 inches of headroom to let the sunshine and fresh air flow through your cabin.

The interior is luxurious and comfortable, and high-tech features, such as the 12.3-inch touchscreen display with navigation and available head-up display, are helpful on long road trips and daily commutes.
