It’s right that the model is fitted with a thick layer of camouflage but these are the first spy shots with the 2012 Kia Rio and we can’t just jump over them. We don’t have too more details about the new Kia Rio as this is the first time when we came in contact with
Kia Motors Corporation reports that 2010 was a good year for the South Korean manufacturer as they managed to sell more than 2 million vehicles worldwide. Comparing to 2009, Kia faced an increase in sales of 26,5% with exactly 2,089,355 units sold last year. Kia Cerato proved to be the best selling model with 403,303
The new Kia Picanto is expected to debut in March at the Geneva Motor Show. Recently, the South Korean manufacturer decided to reveal the official photos for the 2012 Kia Picanto, a model which brings under the bonnet Euro 5 engines with displacements of 1.0 and 1.2 liters. However, a very important fact is that
I think the people from Failblog are now very happy as we got to see a lot of fail videos in the last few days. We can remind a couple of them, namely the Honda Civic which caught fire while the driver was trying to make a burnout tied of a concrete block or the
A new year means a new page in car sales. More customers to find, older customers to cater to and so on. This prospect is quite a dreary one. Not for the Koreans at Kia it isn’t as they’ve just announced that they want to continue increasing sales figures in 2011.
Shortly after we got the opportunity to see the official sketches of the new Kia Picanto but also the facelift version of the performance model Kia Pro_Cee’d, the South Korean manufacturer decided to reveal two official photos with the model, photos were we can see the features of the new generation Picanto. Together with the
Kia recently released a first teaser for the new KV7 Crossover Concept. Few moments ago we had the opportunity to talk about the facelift version of Pro_Cee’d, a revised model which is set to debut a bit lately after the Detroit Auto Show, more exactly at Geneva, in the spring of 2011. Before the Geneva
Kia decided that is the right moment to prepare a facelift operation for the current Pro_Cee’d generation as the Cee’d generation already received this treatment. We refer to Kia’s Cee’d range as the Pro_Cee’d model is nothing more but a sporty version of the model mentioned earlier. From the first details and photos we can’t
The South Korean manufacturer recently announced that few problems appeared and certain models will have to be recalled in order to be checked and make everything work properly. In detail, we talk about a pretty serious issue as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed that braking fluid leaks might appear in certain conditions and
The Koreans at Kia have started poppin’ them champagne corks and I’m guessing their uncertainty on the 2011 Optima has nothing to do with it. In actual fact, it’s got a lot to do with what’s happened to the Kia Sorento.
The South Korean manufacturer decided to reveal few sketches for the new next-generation Picanto. That’s not the first time when the Koreans from Kia put us in touch with the future Picanto, as, few days ago, at the Bologna Auto Show an aluminum sculpture taking the shape of the new Kia Picanto was revealed. We
Choosing a more attractive way to tease the future generation of Picanto, the South Korean manufacturer decided to unveil an aluminum sculpture in the shape of the future Kia Picanto generation. Over the time the automotive manufacturers were choosing to launch on the Internet teaser photos with future models in order to keep the public
The Kia Soul is part of a new generation of funky looking cars that creep along the streets craving for attention. The newest addition to the Kia Soul lineup is supposed to be more than that. I’m not sure what the Koreans mean by saying that but I will admit the name of the special
Kia proudly announces that the last Euro NCAP tests where two models were put to several tests ended very well for their models. The Kia Sportage SUV as well as the Venga MPV managed to satisfy all the requirments imposed by the Euro NCAP tests, thus, they obtained the maximum five stars rating for safety.
I will admit, as an automotive fan, I tend to knock off Korean cars as a breed but lately my beliefs have been put to some serious testing. This happens because the Koreans keep coming up with better and better products and the Kia Optima Hybrid is possibly one of the best.
I don’t think there’s a better way of putting it. Actually if there was a better way of highlighting the way Kia refreshed the Sedona for 2011 I would’ve probably stuck it to the title. In truth, the Korean family carriers does have quite a few changes. Subtle they may be but they’re there.
Between the SEMA show and all of the gas guzzling high performance hot rods and so on there was always some room for the sensible option. The sensible option is what Kia went for when the opened up a stand with the Forte Hybrid Concept.
I, for one, have always known that the modern Korean cars sell, and sell well but it seems that some of the economy oriented newspapers think otherwise. Actually, either some people writing about money hate the cheap Korean products or have no clue about the situation as many have claimed that Kia is in serious
After the Korean manufacturer revealed few teasers on this electric concept, they decided that’s the time to reveal more details and photos on this electric concept named Pop, ready to debut at Paris Auto Show. Peter Schreyer, head of the European design department and Gregory Guillaume designed the Kia Pop concept in question, and we
