CPO vs. CPO Lite
Understand the difference between Kia Certified Pre-Owned and Kia Certified Pre-Owned Lite to choose the right option for your budget and peace of mind.
CPO vs. CPO Lite
When shopping for a used Kia, you may see vehicles labeled as Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) or Certified Pre-Owned Lite (CPO Lite). While both programs offer additional peace of mind compared to a standard used vehicle, they differ in vehicle eligibility, inspection depth, and warranty coverage.
This page explains what each program includes and helps you determine which one best fits your needs.
Kia Certified Pre-Owned (CPO)
- Available on newer, lower-mileage Kia vehicles
- Vehicles must pass a rigorous multi-point inspection performed by Kia-trained technicians
- Backed by Kia factory warranty coverage
- Designed to offer near-new confidence at a used-car price
Warranty Highlights
- 10-Year / 100,000-Mile Powertrain Warranty (from original in-service date)
- 1-Year / 12,000-Mile Platinum Coverage
- Roadside Assistance included
- Travel breakdown support may be included
Kia Certified Pre-Owned Lite
- Designed for older Kia vehicles that still meet quality standards
- More affordable option with factory-backed certification
- Vehicles receive a comprehensive inspection, though less extensive than full CPO
- Offers added reassurance beyond a standard used vehicle
Warranty Highlights
- 6-Month / 6,000-Mile Limited Powertrain Warranty (from purchase date)
- 1-Year Roadside Assistance
- May include travel and rental reimbursement benefits
Which One Is Right for You?
If you're looking for maximum warranty coverage and a newer vehicle, Kia Certified Pre-Owned may be the best fit. If you're shopping on a tighter budget but still want factory-backed confidence, CPO Lite offers added protection for older Kia vehicles.
Both programs provide more peace of mind than a standard used vehicle.
