Unlike in Europe and Asia, many Americans have never preferred to drive small cars, but as gas prices have been rising, that is beginning to change. In fact, the sub-compact market is expected to double by 2015, creating increased brand loyalty and Kia has become a trailblazer in the eco/green segment of the automotive industry by introducing the first affordable vehicles in the U.S. to offer "Stop-Start" technology, which cleverly shuts off the engine, instead of letting the car unnecessarily idle. The gas saving system quickly and automatically restarts when accelerating. The Kia Rio 5-Door is a subcompact hatchback that has stylish contours, an attractive style, spacious front and rear cabin, and a well designed interior that seats five adults comfortably and has high tech features that you would expect in luxury cars, but without the "luxury" price tag. After undergoing a major makeover, the new Kia Rio is better than ever and can complete with many of the top s...

With football season about ready to kickoff, the 2012 Kia Soul has added another accolade to its already crowded collection by being named to the "10 Best Tailgating Cars of 2012" list by Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com, a leading provider of new and used car information.  Lauded for its cargo room, storage zones and top-of-the-line audio system, the Soul is an ideal vehicle for shuttling friends, family and food to the stadium and back.  Kia's popular urban passenger vehicle has been on quite a run while football teams toiled through training camp, being named a segment winner in the recent J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study (IQS) and nabbing the top spot on KBB.com's "10 Best Back-to-School Cars in 2012" list. "Being named to the 'Top Tailgating Cars' list by KBB.com speaks to the Soul's functionality and versatility and its eye-catching styling, and flashing speaker lights help tailgate organizers and their guests make an impr...

Most people are looking for more bang for the buck during these days of slow economic recovery, and Kia’s Rio sedan is loaded with it. Such goodies as a navigation system, backup camera, great audio system, electronic stability control, sunroof and heated leather seats weren’t even offered in this class of car just a few years ago. But they are in the top- of-the-line Kia Rio SX, and many are standard equipment. And that’s a lot of stuff considering that even with a $2,200 “Premium Package” the test vehicle would roll off the dealer’s lot for $20,545. An impressive interior that looks like it belongs in a more expensive car rounds out an initial favorable impression. That’s important, since the Rio faces stiff competition in the subcompact category from the Honda Fit HMC +1.55% , Ford Fiesta F +0.42% , Chevrolet Sonic GM +3.19% and Kia’s Korean stablemate, the Hyundai Accent KR:005380 +0.20% . The Fit, Fiesta and Accent have received good ...

Spark plugs do need changing The advent of electronic ignition and on-board computers has eliminated the need for regular tune-ups, but you still need to change your spark plugs. Many manufacturers recommend changing plugs every 30,000 or 40,000 miles (48,000 or 64,000 km) to ensure good fuel mileage and engine performance. Some new cars come with long-life plugs (sometimes called double platinum plugs) that can last for 100,000 miles (160,000 km). If your car isn’t so equipped, make the switch after 30,000 miles. The extra cost is only a few dollars per spark plug. While you’re at it, change your spark plug wires as well. Their typical life is 50,000 miles (80,000 km). Deteriorated wires can cause those high-tech new spark plugs to foul.

This summer has been a scorcher in certain regions of the globe, and many of you know tough weather conditions can be harsh on automobiles, so Kia-Buzz wants to give its readers 7 tips on how to maintain your cars during the grueling summer season. 1. Cover your car Although we may want to wear fewer layers in the summer, our cars need extra clothing.     Use a reflective sunshade to protect your car’s interior from excessive heat and sun damage.     Apply quality vinyl or leather protectant on your dashboard and seats to guard from discoloration.     Always remember not to leave explosive objects in your vehicle like a lighter! 2. Sunglasses for your car? Tint your windows. Make sure the type of tint material can block out ultraviolet rays. We realize there are rules according to your state/country, so we advise you to do this in accordance with your local laws. 3. Check your battery Check your battery’s fluid level. If it’...

Two car models from Kia Motors America, headquartered in Irvine, received the highest scores in a recent study by J.D. Power and Associates for consumer appeal. The Kia Optima and Soul were recognized as two of the most appealing vehicles within their class. In the “Midsize Car” category, the 2012 Optima ranked highest in a tie with the Volkswagen Passat. The 2012 Soul outclassed other vehicles in the “Compact Multi-Purpose Vehicle” group.  The 2012 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout study measures the vehicle buyer’s gratification with their recent purchase. Design, layout, performance and content are among the factors taken into consideration. This year’s study focused on buyers’ needs and preferences to downsize their vehicles without sacrificing quality or amenities. "As key entries in Kia's design-led transformation, the Optima and Soul have attracted new customers to our showrooms, and the results of the J.D. Power and Assoc...

After a slow 2012 for new products, Kia will be back on the gas in 2013. A redesigned Forte compact sedan will be launched in January, followed by a five-door hatchback and a coupe by next summer. The upscale Cadenza sedan arrives at Kia's U.S. dealerships next summer. A rear-wheel-drive flagship sedan, known as the K9 in South Korea and the Quoris in overseas markets, arrives stateside for the 2015 model year. Here's the rundown for Kia for the 2013-15 model years from company and other sources. Cadenza: Kia will launch the Cadenza sedan next summer as a 2014 model. The upscale, front-wheel-drive sedan shares a platform with the current generation Hyundai Azera and is expected to be powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 engine used in the Korean version of the Cadenza, known as the K7. The Cadenza, nearly five inches longer than the Optima mid-sized sedan, will sit above the Optima in Kia's lineup. Pricing is expected to be between the high $30,000s and low $40,000s, Kia Motors Ameri...

In 2003, Kia introduced the midsize Sorento SUV, which for a while replaced the Sportage, which had been the brand's only sport utility since the South Korean automaker arrived in the United States in the mid-'90s. The Sportage two years later was reintroduced as a compact crossover, and remains in the Kia lineup. But the Sorento has racked up much better sales, and that continues this year. Kia had sold 26,011 Sorentos through March, compared with 9,888 of the smaller Sportage. There was no 2010 model for the U.S. market, but a completely redesigned Sorento went on sale in early 2010 as a 2011 model, based on the architecture of the Hyundai Santa Fe. It was the first product to come out of the new Kia factory in West Point, Ga., which now also builds the Santa Fe on the same assembly line. With the remake, the Sorento switched from a truck-style body-on-frame configuration to a crossover unibody design that offers more interior space, with room for up to seven passengers. T...

Wax to protect your car’s paint job No way around it! Waxing your car is work. But it’s satisfying work that will help keep your car looking new. Car wax preserves paint by slowing oxidation and forming a barrier against bird droppings, sap, and pollution. Plus driving a nice shiny car is just plain fun. Here’s what to do to ensure the maximum in protection:     - Liquid and spray waxes are tempting to use — they make the car shiny with less work than rubbing in paste wax. But there’s still no beating paste wax for the hardest, longest-lasting finish. Look for paste with a high carnauba wax content.     - Apply a thin, even coat of wax to the car’s surfaces with a damp sponge. Avoid applying too much, or it will be difficult to remove and some residue will inevitably mar your finish.     - To avoid fine scratches, use a clean, soft cotton or microfiber cloth to remove wax once it has dried.   ...

If you’re a past, current or potential Kia Sportage driver who enjoys exploring car info interactively then you’ll love our new Kia Sportage iPad app. It’s developed by the same award winning app team that brought you both the Picanto and Rio iPad apps. First Impressions We were scratching our heads when we first downloaded this app, and wondered if our mobile app team could top themselves again. After all, they set a high standard with the Kia Rio app, which recently received the highly sought-after “best of the best” award in the communication design category from the Red Dot Design Awards, one of the largest and most-acclaimed international design competitions. At a quick first glance you might think it looks like an ordinary e-publication app, but once we started to navigate the content, we were surprised. The Sportage iPad app has answers to absolutely everything one needs to know about the vehichle, from detailed tech specs to design philosophy. ...
