Congratulations on the making the wife happy! I think you’ll be fine, just keep up with maintenance, as you should with anything, and enjoy the new ride. I looked one up and they’re pretty cool looking rigs, the interior is nice.

It will hold up as dealer/Kia is on hook with the warranty. At the end you return keys for the $14.5k.
It kills me that the Nissan Rogue is never mentioned. They are such great vehicles! So many people put it down for the CVT, yet so many complain about Honda and all their maintenance issues, or KIA/Hyundai whose engines blow, Subaru head gaskets and poor mpg, etc.
Rogues need the CVT fluid changed every 30k miles and they are flawless otherwise. We have 4 in the family (including extended family). There would be 5 if not for a meth head taking one out. That had 150k+ on the original CVT.
Enjoy your KIA. My rant is a general statement about the recommendations in the post. In truth, I would own a Toyota if I could afford one. Since I can’t, I drive Nissan.

Go ahead flame me but to ignore this option because of mis-information is silly ... and that is ok but to me, silly to ignore this vehicle.
I bought 2017 Certified some years back also with factory tow package (hard to find) but was a must as I tow sometimes. 6 years and 60,000+ miles never a repair yet. I do think important to make sure of the transmission flush every 40K well at least in a vehicle you tow with.

AS far as power, if you wanted to, not that you would, but after 6 trips to Florida last year (maybe 7) this vehicle can travel 90+ MPH all day long as silky smooth and amazingly quiet .
...and after all this I realize its an older thread and you bought a Kia. Good luck with the new car.

Toyota...Highlander or 4Runner. *I'm biased, though.
I'll add to the list
Lexus GX 470 or 460
You can find a 460 for under $30K
GX 460 ran from 2010-current.....470 was prior
Pic........wife's '11 GX 460.......132K miles & she luvs it.....18-20 mpg
Lexus uses the best of the best Toyota employees to build Lexus
On the smaller side, there is the Corolla Cross Hybrid
