Granbury KIA

In today’s digital era, the traditional car brochure just doesn’t cut it anymore. Not only is paper so passé and static, it’s also not very green. Aside from encouraging an actual test drive, Kia has been pioneering new and stimulating ways to experience its vehicles from the convenience of your mobile or computing devices.   Today on Kia-Buzz we’re going to be spotlighting some informative and amusing apps for the All-new Kia Rio. All-new Kia Rio iPad App:   This app’s CGI intro looks like a scene from Inception , and earns it some extra cool points in our book. In addition, it has absolutely everything you need to know about the Kia Rio. Not only can you find the most detailed technical specs such as size, weight and fuel consumption, but you can also look at all things Rio, including commercials and a detailed profile of its designer Peter Schreyer, Chief Design Officer at Kia. Feel free to spin it around for a 3...

" I wanted a fun car. I have spent the last 20 years in a van and was ready for a sporty smaller car. I spoke with Brad several times and he worked out a deal for our new Kia 5 door Forte. I love the little car and was amazed that my husband did too! The team at Van Griffith was all very friendly and easy to work with. We are proud to be a part of the Van Griffith family. I would send friends and family their way. The drive to Granbury was well worth it!"- hart376063 Click here to see more reviews on Dealer Rater

What’s your idea of a “green” car? Good fuel economy? Low carbon emissions? Neon green paint job? ;-) Let’s add two more factors to the list: energy usage during a vehicle’s manufacturing and percentage of recyclable parts when it’s time for a car to hit the salvage yard. Kia has continued to raise the bar for years in order to protect the environment as a truly eco-friendly company. For instance, all Kia factories have been reducing the amount of water used for production by 27 percent over the past seven years. Since 2005, we’ve been recycling heat from the manufacturing process to steadily decrease the amount of greenhouse gases emitted. These innovative green processes have been reinforced by Kia’s commitment to set higher standards on reducing pollutants beyond government requirements. Our US Georgia plant in particular has a “Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia (KMMG) Environmental Policy Statement,...

" They are great people to do business with and I would recommend them to all my friends and family. This was my first new car buying experience and I loved it. They will go above and beyond to take care of you. I enjoyed being able to look for a car without any pressure. I have also learned that if I ever have any problem to go straight to them not another KIA dealership. I had a blowout and made the mistake of having it towed to the nearest dealership, will never do that again. Bob took care of me and had everything fixed." - hardeesl   To see more great reviews on Dealer Rater click here

KIA welcomes innovation in their vehicles, and their newer models certainly reflect a forward-looking design. Good technology needs to be incorporated as well, and the IVI concept that you see above (and in the picture gallery after the jump) stands for In Vehicle Infotainment concept, sporting a 10.1″ display that is located on top of the dashboard, while there is a brother to keep it company – a 11.6″ widescreen located within the console area. The vehicle of choice here is the KIA Naimo EV crossover where the IVI concept intends to hook up to devices such as smartphones and tablets, delivering a full connection to various apps and services such as social networks, news feeds and other interesting websites. Augmented reality navigation is also thrown into the mix, and there is a driver state monitoring system to make sure you are alerted just in case you start to doze off. Night vision mode is also included in order to increase the safety levels when y...

" This being my first new car purchase, I cannot base this review on previous experiences. So I tried to do as much research as possible in advance. I chose Van Griffith Kia because I had read so many customer horror stories about the unscrupulous business practices of most of the competition. I will admit to being extremely anxious when I walked in for a test drive just because this is such a major purchase. But my fears were immediately put to rest when I was greeted by the most enthusiastic and friendly faces I could have hoped to encounter and all questions and concerns were addressed as if I was the only customer. Michael left me feeling as if I had just dealt with one of the most honest and caring sales representatives one could ever hope to encounter. I can assure you that when the time comes to consider buying another new vehicle, I will not hesitate to drive straight to Van Griffith Kia! Michael, Dawn & Jim, you folks ROCK!"- Ducky1   To see more...
