Kia K9 Official Pictures Released

Kia released official pictures of the new flagship sedan, the K9. It looks way cooler than the initial sketches.

To be launched during the first half of this year in the Korean market, the K9 (codenamed KH) will also make it overseas. But timing and the name is yet to be decided.

Not much is known about the car’s technical specifications, apart from the fact that it’s Kia’s first rear-drive luxury sedan. Styling-wise, while it looks very Korean, it does sport some of the design cues you see on Kia’s global models, such as the radiator grille, and the bold LED headlamps.

The K9 does look like a formidable rival for the new Hyundai Azera in the Korean market, which is curious, because they both belong to the same corporation. It has pretty much the same recipe of sporty style and lots and lots of equipments.

Kia Signs on to Support World Environment Day 2012

Kia signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the United Nations Environment Programme(UNEP) on February 22 to confirm its support for the organization’s hallmark World Environment Day (WED). The official signing ceremony took place at the United Nations compound in Nairobi, Kenya and marked Kia’s continued commitment to environmental sustainability.

Commemorated on every 5 June since 1972, WED has grown to become the most widely celebrated global day for positive environmental action. WED activities take place year round as a worldwide call to action for individuals and organizations to mobilize environmental activities. This year Kia will award an eco-friendly vehicle to five participating organizations whose WED activity mobilization scores high on criteria as evaluated by UNEP.

 

The five vehicles to be awarded include four 2012 all-new Kia Rios and one 2012 Kia Optima Hybrid, which were chosen for their high fuel efficiency and to highlight 2012’s WED theme ‘Green Economy: Does it include you?’

 

The signing ceremony was attended by Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Director of UNEP; Izabella Teixeira, Brazilian Environment Minister and MK Kim, President of Kia’s Middle East and Africa Regional Headquarters.

Video: How Kia went about building the Track’ster Concept

At the 2012 Chicago Auto Show, Kia Motors unveiled its new Track’ster Concept, a study that looks into a performance version of the Soul compact car. So, how did all the designers and engineers sit down to plan and built the Track’ster Concept? The guys at Motor Trend followed the whole process and video taped it all for us to see.

Refresher: The Kia Track’ster Concept is powered by a 2.0 liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 250-hp – 66 percent more than the production model. The engine is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission which transfers power to all four wheels. So far the Kia Track’ster Concept is not intended for production.

Party Red Rock: 2012 Kia Soul Red Rock Special Edition in Showrooms

The 2012 Kia Soul that was unveiled at last year’s New York auto show was no ordinary Soul — not only because it featured the brand’s newest iteration of its more powerful, efficient direct-injection engines, but because it was the Korean automaker’s seventh special edition Soul, and it wasn’t available until now.

Due to popular demand, Kia has rolled out another limited edition party-rock-mobile onto showroom floors, and instead of looking like the spooky Ghost Soul or the star-stamped Hamstar edition, the newest Soul resembles the beautiful backdrop of the American Southwest. Inspired by the red rock formations that decorate the region, the Red Rock Special Edition Soul wears unique colors in and out.

Special Canyon exterior paint distinguishes the Red Rock special edition from other models, along with a black front fascia and unique side mirror housings. Inside, two-tone seats wear black leather and brown cloth trim, and the same black-brown color theme continues on the dash and on other appointments. Standard equipment includes automatic climate control and heated front seats, and Kia has priced the Red Rock Special Edition at $21,350 (including $750 destination fee).

The Soul has continued to be one of Kia’s top sellers, and the Red Rock special edition follows the likes of the Ignition Soul, Denim Soul, Shadow Dragon Soul, Ghost Soul, White Tiger Soul, and Hamstar Soul in keeping the box-car funky and fresh.

First Look: 2012 Kia Optima SX Limited

 

KIA MOTORS AMERICA ANNOUNCES PRODUCTION SCHEDULE FOR NEW OPTIMA SX LIMITED AT THE 2012 CHICAGO AUTO SHOW

Production of Top-of-the-Range Optima to Begin at Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia in Late-February

Optima Limited adds a new level of refinement to the technology, convenience and performance features found on Kia's award-winning turbocharged Optima SX

Optima Limited is instantly recognizable with unique 18-inch chrome wheels, LED lighting and chrome accents

The ultra-popular midsize Kia Optima sedan again turned heads today at the Chicago Auto Show when Kia Motors America (KMA) revealed production plans for a new range-topping Limited. The Limited, which will begin production at Kia's U.S. manufacturing plant in West Point, Georgia1 later this month, builds on the Optima SX's strong foundation of class-leading horsepower2 and fuel efficiency3 and adds a number of design and amenity enhancements to further stand apart from traditional competitors in the segment.

"The Optima SX Limited was introduced to the world in our 'Drive the Dream' Super Bowl commercial and now visitors to the Chicago Auto Show will experience it firsthand," said Michael Sprague, vice president, marketing & communications, KMA. "The Limited delivers upscale features and premium materials that discerning midsize sedan customers are not able to find in many of our competitors. The Optima has been earning design, performance and value awards since arriving in showrooms in early 2011, and the Limited is the latest example of the brand's compelling package of style, fuel economy, technology – and now opulence – to appeal to an even wider consumer base."

Expected to arrive in showrooms in March, the Optima Limited is based on the fully loaded turbocharged Optima SX, which Edmunds' Inside Line hailed as an "Editors' Most Wanted℠" mid-sized sedan. Offered exclusively in Ebony Black, Snow White Pearl and Titanium Metallic exterior colors, the Optima Limited features many details that are mainly found on luxury vehicles, including LED daytime running lights, chrome-accented rear spoiler, lower door sills and wood interior trim. Standout red front-brake calipers can be seen through the Optima Limited's uniquely designed chrome 18-inch wheels while the 2.0-liter turbo GDI engine delivers class-leading 274 horsepower4 and achieves 22/34 mpg5 (city/hwy).

Inside the cabin, high-grade black or white Nappa leather adorns the seats, door panels, center console armrest and center fascia trim for a premium feel. Wood accents can be found on the steering wheel, interior door trim and shift knob, and a black tricot fabric lends a premium feel to the headliner, sun visor, and A, B and C pillars. The Optima Limited also boasts a first-aid kit and cloth door weather strip.

Like every Optima, the Limited projects a refined, performance-oriented aesthetic with a sleek silhouette, aggressive stance and sculpted elements that embodies the styling language chief design officer Peter Schreyer has created for the brand. Every 2012 Optima comes well equipped with a generous roster of standard features, and the Optima Limited builds on the technology, performance and convenience features found on the Optima SX, including: unique front and rear lower bumper design, sport-tuned suspension, HID headlamps, Supervision™ meter cluster with LCD display, steering wheel paddle shifters, metal pedals, illuminated door scuff plates, panoramic sunroof, four-way power front passenger's seat, driver's seat memory, heated/cooled front seats, heated rear seats, navigation system with back-up camera and SiriusXM Traffic™6 and Infinity®7 audio system and speakers.

Standard Kia Safety Features

The 2012 Optima is equipped with a high level of standard safety features. All trims come outfitted with driver and passenger advanced front airbags8, front seat-mounted side airbags, first and second row side curtain airbags, front active headrests, side-impact door beams, height-adjustable front seatbelts with pre-tensioners, three-point seatbelts for all seating positions, Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). A four-wheel Antilock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Vehicle Stability Management (VSM), a Traction Control System (TCS), a Brake Assist System (BAS) and Hill Assist Control (HAC) also are standard.

Industry-Leading Warranty

The 2012 Optima is covered by Kia's comprehensive warranty program9, which offers consumer protection at an exceptional value. Included in this program are a 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, a five-year/60,000-mile limited basic warranty and a five-year/100,000-mile anti-perforation warranty. A five-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance plan also is part of the comprehensive vehicle coverage.

Kia's Unprecedented Growth

Kia Motors is the one of the world's fastest moving global automotive brands; from 2009-2011 Kia launched more new vehicles in the U.S. than any other automaker, and under the guidance of chief design officer, Peter Schreyer, earned a reputation as an industry leader in automotive styling. Kia Motors America's full line of fuel-efficient and fun-to-drive cars and CUVs has earned critical acclaim and dramatically increased consumer awareness, perception and consideration for the brand. In 2011, KMA recorded its 17th consecutive year of market share growth, thanks in part to the largest increase of any major brand in perceived quality10 and the industry's highest brand loyalty ranking11. Kia's U.S.-based manufacturing facility in West Point, Georgia – KMMG – is responsible for the creation of more than 10,000 plant and supplier jobs and builds the company's two best-selling vehicles in the U.S. – the Sorento CUV and Optima midsize sedan12. Kia's value and technology-laden 2012 model year lineup also includes the Sportage compact CUV, Soul urban passenger vehicle, Optima Hybrid, Forte compact sedan, Forte 5-door compact hatchback, Forte Koup two-door coupe, all-new Rio and Rio5-door sub-compacts and Sedona minivan.

About Kia Motors America

Kia Motors America is the marketing and distribution arm of Kia Motors Corporation based in Seoul, South Korea. KMA offers a complete line of vehicles through more than 755 dealers throughout the United States and serves as the "Official Automotive Partner of the NBA." In 2011, KMA recorded its best-ever annual sales total and became one of the fastest growing car companies in the U.S. Kia is poised to continue its momentum and will continue to build the brand through design innovation, quality, value, advanced safety features and new technologies.

Kia Track’ster Concept teased again

The South Korean based automaker Kia has recently released a new teaser image with the Track’ster Concept, ahead of its official debut at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show.

After the car manufacturer has placed the Track’ster Concept into the spotlights for the first time not more than a week ago, Kia has decided to tease the model again, this time with a real image and not just a sketch. According to the carmaker, the Kia Track’ster Concept has been created by the company’s California design studio and as you can see from the teaser image posted above, the model is coming with a ventilated rear bumper, dual exhaust and LED taillights.

More details on the Kia Track’ster are limited for now and the model won’t catch the production line but it’s expected to underpin future vehicles wearing the South Korean badge on them and this is also the company’s vision on the future. There’s no official word on the Kia Trac’ster Concept’s drivetrain and rumors say that the vehicle will be powered by the same Gamma Turbo GDI engine used in the Hyundai Veloster Turbo, so a total of around 200 horsepower are expected. The Kia Track’ster Concept will make its official debut at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show.
