Caught: 2014 Kia Soul Prototype Shows Off Revised Interior

Image
We’ve seen the 2014 Kia Soul’s heavily camouflaged exterior, but these latest shots show the tester’s revised interior. Among the updates is a new infotainment screen, which looks big enough to satisfy the Soul’s style-focused customers when the new car arrives. The first thing you’ll notice is the much larger central touch screen, which looks similar in size to that of the 2014 Kia Sorento and appears to display the updated UVO system. The entire center stack has been redesigned, with a large, circular digital clock placed just below the infotainment screen and HVAC vents shifted from the sides to the top. Also redesigned is the steering wheel, which gets round infotainment controls on either spoke. The black leather-like seats feature yellow contrast stitching, which should appease the Soul’s fashionista customers before the inevitable special-edition models arrive. Not much has changed on the outside since the last time we saw a 2014 Soul prototype. As we said previously, the grille...

How to pack smart for a road trip

Image
Going to take a road trip? Fantastic. Before you hit the road it's key to plan -- carefully and thoroughly. Things like a true budget is vital, although a special “indulge” is permissible (but keep it sensible).  Also important is what you take, as you don't want to have to buy what you forget at home. How you pack it in your vehicle (car, truck van, mini-bus, you name it) is vital.  The good news is whether it is a trip alone or with many there is a packing format. Here are some tips I have learned along the way: Bag It Individual bags are packed or perhaps you choose individual plastic boxes with an individual small duffle bag for daily “things”. Daily items such as tooth brush, tooth paste, etc.  Label each “container’ with masking tape. You remember today, tomorrow but not in a few days. Put each person’s bags and items in separate piles by the door. Departure time is close! When you pack the car, keep in individual piles rather than just tossing into a heap. Packing ...

Here's A Tip To Extend The Life Of Your Car

Preserve door and window seals. Wipe a rubber protectant (such as Armor-All) or silicone on door and window weatherstripping to keep it in good condition. Don’t use an oilbased product, such as WD-40, because the oil will damage the rubber. Regular cleaning and treatment of your car’s weatherstripping will also lessen the likelihood of your door sticking to its rubber seal in cold weather, a common cause of damage to the rubber.

2013 Kia Sportage Given "Best Bet" Distinction By The Car Book

With its impressive list of safety features, dynamic styling and advanced technology, the 2013 Sportage has been named a "Best Bet" by The Car Book 2013. "We are very proud to have the 2013 Sportage recognized as a "Best Bet" by The Car Book," said Michael Sprague, executive vice president of marketing and communications, KMA. "As Kia's longest running nameplate, the Sportage offers sleek styling, modern amenities and fun-to-drive performance in a capable compact CUV." The "Best Bet" distinction is based on objective information collected from government and independent sources that evaluate the safety and performance needs of the American consumer. Cars that have ratings in all of the key Car Book categories – safety features, fuel economy, rollover, front and side crash tests, maintenance and repair costs, warranties, insurance costs, and complaints, with the greatest emphasis placed on crash test performance – are potentially tit...

Superman-inspired Kia Optima Hybrid helps those affected by drought and famine in Africa

Image
Kia, DC Entertainment and Super Street magazine worked as a team to develop this one-of-a-kind Superman-themed Optima Hybrid that made its debut at the Chicago Auto Show today. The joint effort is designed to raise awareness for DC Entertainment's "We Can Be Heroes" campaign, a charitable relief effort to bring help and hope to people affected by drought and famine in the Horn of Africa. The metallic blue and red sedan, which thankfully manages to look better in person than it does in the pictures, is the seventh vehicle in a 10-month partnership between the automaker, comic book company and tuner as they build themed vehicles representing all of the Justice League heros. A yet-unseen eighth vehicle will be an amalgamation of all seven Super Heroes in one. There is no mistaking the blue metallic finish with red chrome accents, or the world's most recognizable superhero's chest emblem glowing on the hood, but you have to look closer to see the Superman logo on the ...

Kia Cross GT First Pictures Released

Image
The first official pictures of Kia’s concept car for the 2013 Chicago Auto Show are released ahead of its official debut. The Kia Cross GT is a large crossover vehicle that could be the replacement for the Mohave/Borrego SUV. Save the signature ‘Tiger nose’ front grille, not much else about the Cross GT seem to be production-intended. It features small headlights, large wheels, massive gills, a fancy glass roof and all in all, too many curves and twists for a production Kia. But it has the making of a premium car, which can introduce the Korean car maker to a whole new market. Kia is expected to reveal more details on the Cross GT and its purpose at the Chicago show.
