Granbury KIA

The 2017 Kia lineup is no stranger to unique and advanced features. Specifically, the 2017 Kia Niro offering many exciting features to start your Kia journey the right way. Kia's interesting shape and space make it a cross between a Crossover & SUV. Designers of the Niro wanted to be creative and took the more utilitarian approach and created what the automaker calls a "hybrid utility vehicle." Besides the intentional design, the Kia Niro is also related to the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte. However, because the Niro is a dedicated hybrid, the platform itself shares only 10 percent of its parts with the chassis sitting beneath those two compacts. Last but not least, you can get 50 MPG for around $25,000, making it big on value. The 2017 Kia Niro sparks Kia-lover interest and leave them wanting more.

Kia is finally getting the recognition it has deserved for a long time now.  Certain awards have always gone to certain vehicles with high name recognition due to decades of existence.  Those days are over. The auto industry experienced a seismic shift this month when J.D. Power announced that for the first time in 27 years a non-premium brand ranked highest in its annual Initial Quality Study. When the dust settled, the nameplate that managed to unseat the reigning IQS champion for three years running, and take the top spot was upstart Kia Motors. The study, now in its 30th year, examines problems experienced by vehicle owners during the first 90 days of ownership, and marks a massive win for Kia, a brand that has rapidly transformed into a recognized leader in design, technology and craftsmanship. With an award-winning lineup spanning from subcompact cars to luxury vehicles, Kia’s rise to the top was driven by best-in-class quality rankings for the popular Sportage ...

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, ...

It amazes me that in todays, age with the advancements and improvements made to them that minivans come with a stigmatism attached that you can’t be hip or cool to own and prowl around town.  This is the last myth to be debunked and the 2016 Kia Sedona SXL Limited is just the offering to do it. SXL trim a contains Xenon headlamps, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, surround view monitor, Smart cruise control, 115V power inverter, rear seat entertainment, heated and cooled front leather seating, heated steering wheel, triple-zone auto-climate system, memory power seat settings, blind-spot detection, rear camera, second row bucket seats, front and rear parking assist sensors, keyless ignition and access, dual sunroofs, power sliding side-doors, power rear lift gate, 19-inch chrome alloy wheels, UVO entertainment and navigation, XM and LED lamps all around. Stylish, refined, and handsome, the Sedona makes a nice formal statement at rest and at work. Engage the smo...

This is the future of automobile manufacturing and as always, Kia is at the forefront.  This is truly going to revolutionize the way vehicles are made moving forward. Kia said it designed the Niro from “the ground up as a dedicated hybrid” to satisfy two growing markets: low emission vehicles and compact SUVs. The Niro is also one of the first vehicles to be launched under Kia’s new green car initiative, which includes plans for six other models to be added over the next five years. A “downsized hybrid platform” will be powering the Niro, with electrification from a single 32-kilowatt electric motor and a 1.56 kilowatt-hour lithium-polymer battery pack. The 1.6-liter Kappa gasoline engine features direct injection and an output of 104 horsepower, with a six-speed dual clutch transmission. “The main focus of engineering teams’ efforts behind the development of the new model is to deliver class-leading fuel economy in the compact SUV segment,” said Kia, adding that the Niro “...

As a middle-born sibling can attest, it can be tough being in the middle. Yet the Kia Sorento has done just fine controlling a middle ground between compact and midsize SUVs. The all-new 2016 Kia Sorento has been regenerated to be smooth, durable, and adaptive to your needs. The Sorento has tastefully sculpted surfaces, more cabin space, and a wraparound dashboard for a distinguished appeal. From skillfully crafted seating, to intuitive advanced technologies, it’s the car you drive to seek out a thrilling venture. The Kia Sorento is a bigger, more refined and all-around superior vehicle to drive for 2016, making it an appealing alternative to five- and seven-passenger SUVs that were previously a class above it. This midsize crossover is undeniably worth a good long look!
