Kia has always been a forefront of innovation in the motor vehicle industry and today is no different. They have just released a new eight speed automatic transmission to be used front wheel drive vehicles. This technology is unlike that of any to date and is changing the game for Kia. The new technology is set to debut in the newest Kia Cadenza, which is their largest car. Moving forward, it is anticipated that the technology will also be added into other medium and large Kia models in the next model car season. As released by Kia, this new technology was developed by the Korean manufacturers themselves with an emphasis on mechanical efficiency and smooth shifting of the gears. One of the main perks of this new system is that it takes up the same amount of space as the six speed automatic transmission used in the past, yet weighs 3.5 kilograms less. Kia has been working restlessly since 2012 to create this masterful innovation and has claimed 143 patents over new technologies in t...

Kia has always been associated with things like affordable, safe, good value.  None of that has changed.  But a few words have been added recently.  The biggest one is Luxury.  Still much better priced and equipped than any direct competitor to their luxury line, they have begun to impress even the toughest critics.  What do we need to know about the new Cadenza? It has a very athletic, muscular appearance, yet also very elegant.  Like designer Ray Ng said at the introduction, “it is a clean design with minimal adornment.”  As a result, it has crisp lines, and sheet metal that fills out its form.   If you’re looking for a comfortable daily driver that makes a terrific highway companion, look no further. Kia’s investment in noise/vibration/harshness has paid off handsomely. The ride is quiet and comfy. The steering is intuitive and feels natural, the brakes are even-handed, and the acceleration is predictable. Inside, there’s wireless phone ...

The South Korean car company, Kia, has through the years come to make itself a household name in America. One of their more popular models happens to be the Sportage. The Sportage is a compact SUV that originally started out as being offered as a 3-door convertible or a five door SUV back in 1993. An extended length version was released in 1996 that was called the Sportage Grand. Originally, there were many different engine types offered for the model throughout the different countries it was manufactured in. The main ones consisted of the 2.0 liter FE DOHC inline four which offered 128 horse power and the 2.0 liter RF inline four diesel which offered 82 horse power. The first generation model was sold between the years of 1993 and 2002 and was discontinued from then on. After much innovation and redesign, the second generation Sportage was released in 2004. Kia has worked endlessly to make constant improvements from model year to model year which paid off when the 2009 Consumer R...

The Kia Sportage has taken the Compact SUV market by storm.  Yes, it is a very crowded market segment which makes it even more surprising that a new vehicle was able to come in and immediately rise to the top. Kia’s compact SUV only gets more appealing by the mile. Kelly Blue Book ranked it in the top half in almost every primary evaluation category.  The Kia’s comfortable ride, supportive driver's seat and good highway steering feel each received praise from multiple testers, which is especially impressive considering those have long been three key areas of weakness for Kia. Highway power was adequate in the best sense, especially considering the Sportage was among the most fuel-efficient SUVs in our test according to both EPA estimates and our own results. The Sportage is just as comfortable in the city, combining smooth and satisfying acceleration with similarly responsive steering feel and predictable braking behavior. Good side bolstering on the front seats also enh...

With an award winning cast of the Soul, Optima and Sorento, it is easy for the Sportage to get a little overlooked.  That would be a mistake.  Read on and you will see why. The overall stance is sportier thanks to a squatter, more substantial look with the wheels pushed farther to the corners.  Inside the new Sportage features more soft-touch surfaces, better trims, and a layout that’s somewhat sporty and cockpit-oriented, with the center stack canted slightly toward the driver. When it comes to power there’s a choice of two powertrains: a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder with 181 horsepower, or, for those looking for more oomph, there's a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder with 240 horsepower. Both engines are paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission and send power to the front wheels in the standard configuration. All-wheel drive is an option on every Sportage trim level. Kia promised better steering and a more refined ride with the latest Sportage, and for the most part, ...

Some still shy away from the stigma of driving a minivan as they fear it doesn’t make them look hip enough.  We all struggle to maintain our own level of cool.  Bottom line is, if you are driving a family around whether it is an SUV or the Sedona, it is still a family sled.  With the addition of the new Sedona, you are as cool a as cucumber in this one. The Kia Sedona is certainly stylish. Credit its makeover last year by Kia's crack design team, led by former Volkswagen designer Peter Schreyer and chief designer Tom Kearns. Their team endowed the Sedona with a surprisingly sinister, urbane look anchored by Kia's distinctive tiger-nose grille. Clearly, this is not your father's family truckster. The vibe continues inside, especially on the top-of-the-line SXL model, where a two-tone interior, leather seating with contrasting piping, piano black and metallic accents, a wood-trimmed and heated steering wheel, and dual sunroofs give the cabin the feeling of first cla...

Kia Motors America's (KMA) all-new 2016 Optima midsize sedan and 2016 Sedona minivan were both named to Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com 16 Best Family Cars for 2016 list.

We're honored that Kelley Blue Book has named Optima and Sedona to the 16 Best Fami...

The mid-size 4 door sedan we have all come to know has been in production for almost 16 years. Through countless redesigns, Kia has always stuck to the original idea behind the vehicle; a highly efficient and safe family sedan. It was first released way back in the year 2000. While most countries accepted the name “Optima”, some preferred to go by different names such as the Magentis in Europe or the Lotze and K5 in South Korea. The original model had a little different power under the hood than we are used to today. It had a 2.5 Liter V6 engine. This was the only engine offered for the model back then. For a while, the only changes made to the vehicle were exterior, cosmetic changes such as the new grille added in 2003 and redesigned headlights in 2004. In 2001, the company did raise the bar with a 2.5 Liter Delta V6 engine and again in 2002 with a 2.4 liter Sirius II I4. Throughout the past 16 years, the only place this model has gone is up. Now that we know about the past, le...

You have to see the 2016 Kia Cadenza for yourself to appreciate the changes and updates made on this offering.  I know you will be impressed. It starts with a more aggressive front end with slimmer and longer headlights with standard LED included in them as well as big 19 inch rims coupled with high performance tires might make the perfect combination.  The chassis as well as the engine in the new generation Cadenza are going to remain unchanged from the previous generation, meaning it will still be made out of steel and it will still be front wheel drive. The design on the other hand is likely going to change tremendously and from the looks of it.  It seems that it will borrow extensively from the Sport space concept car which is great because that is one of the better cars we’ve seen this year. The interior got a lot of attention, so it should stand out from other cars in its class. As standard, the 2016 Kia Cadenza is going to receive a lot of equipment such as a...
