The all new 2017 Kia Sedona Granbury, TX

Image
Van Griffith Kia of Granbury, TX proudly presents the all new 2017 Kia Sedona . Snazzy, sporty, and striking aren’t words you associate with minivans—but the ambitious folks at Kia have managed to bake a little of each into the Sedona. With room for eight, storage for family necessities, and a long list of standard and optional safety features, the Sedona is a compelling choice for value-minded shoppers. Powered by a 276-hp V-6 with a six-speed transmission and boasting a smooth ride, the Sedona also injects a little fun into daily kid-ferrying duties. As the minivan segment has matured, all-new entries have become increasingly rare as the Honda, Toyota, and Chrysler troika continue to dominate. Case in point: Kia is offering the only completely new minivan for 2015, and it’s the Korean brand’s first new vehicle of the type since 2006. The new minivan was a breakthrough in its class; modern, hi-tech and stylish – there was no need for compromise here – large families or peo...

The all new 2017 Kia Rio grows up Granbury, TX

Image
Van Griffith Nissan of Granbury, TX proudly introduces the all new 2017 Kia Rio . Kia is redesigning the new 2017 Kia Rio, for the first time since 2012. The older redesign was a crisp modern look but was extremely mild design. For the 2017 model, Kia redesigned the Rio with a leaner, more aggressive look. The South Korean auto maker only released the renderings and now has released photos of the car. Kia states that the styling changes were made to emphasize on the car’s width inside and out.   The headlights are slimmer and more aggressive than the wide-eyed lamps of the previous model, and much of the gently curving sheet metal has been removed to make room for more flat planes. Not just that, but the new Rio is slightly longer, wider, and shorter than its predecessor. Inside, Kia has spruced things up with what looks like a nicer mix of materials. The most unusual part of the interior is the infotainment system, which Kia describes as "floating."  Kia did not r...

The engine is powerful enough and not noisy, but it’s not quiet enough to be remarkable in this segment. On the road, the 2017 model behaves much like the original Cadenza, with the new, in-house-developed eight-speed transmission a...

2017 Kia Sportage

Image
Van Griffith Kia Proudly presents the all new 2017 Kia Sportage . The fourth-generation Kia Sportage has an all-new look wrapping a stronger chassis filled with more connectivity than the previous models. Kia hopes these changes will make the Sportage nameplate stick out in a field of compact crossover utility vehicles that are outselling it by almost seven to one. Consider that the biggest seller in the class is the Honda CR-V, of which Honda moved 345,647 units out the doors of its dealerships in 2015. In the same time frame, Toyota sold 315,412 RAV4s and Ford sold 306,492 Escapes. Kia, meanwhile, sold just 53,739 Sportages, good enough for eighth place in a field of … eight. So Kia really needed to do something to get its $23,885 Sportage on the Google searches of potential buyers typing “CUVs under $25,000” into their laptops. Let’s start on the outside: The new Sportage is wrapped in a more rounded shape, penned in Kia’s Frankfurt design studio. It’s a more pedestrian-friend...

2017 Kia Optima Hybrid

Image
Van Giffith Kia proudly presents the all new 2017 Kia Optima Hybrid . Kia dealers will soon stock the automaker's revamped Optima Hybrid mid-size sedan, and although its base price is the same as it was last year, the story isn't quite as simple once you start adding options. All told, the cheapest 2017 Kia Optima Hybrid stickers for $26,845 including a mandatory $850 destination charge. That's for the Optima Hybrid Premium. Just one option package is available on that model, a $1,795 Convenience Package that includes a 12-way power driver's seat with memory, a rear park assist system, blind spot monitors, rear cross traffic alert, additional USB ports, and laminated front door windows. Two colors on the Optima Hybrid are included, while special white and black shades add $395. The range-topping Optima Hybrid EX, meanwhile, runs $31,840 without any options.

2017 Kia Soul Receives TurboCharged Option

Image
Van Griffith Kia proudly presents all new new 2017 Kia TurboCharged Soul . For 2017, the Soul officially receives a turbocharged engine option that ups the ante by a significant 40 horsepower. Finally, a powertrain to match the Soul’s entertaining personality. The new model, named the SX overseas, is technically called the Kia Soul !, but for the purposes of normalcy, consider it the “Exclaim.” As before, it’s the top model in the range above the Soul Base, which has a 130-hp 1.6-liter four-cylinder, and the Soul + (Plus), which has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that makes 161 horsepower. The Exclaim, which uses a new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, gets a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that pumps out a much-welcomed 201 horsepower and 196 lb-ft of torque. Because the extra power comes from forced induction, the fuel economy actually goes up slightly, to a claimed 28 mpg combined. To complement the engine update, Kia gave the Exclaim a bit of extra physical ‘tude. Ther...

Kia Forte sales on the rise as 2017 tweaks arrive

Image
Kia Forte set a sales record last year hitting 78,919 units and already has surpassed that number this year as the 2017 model year brings numerous improvements to the compact sedan. It’s not surprising, since Forte has become a top choice in its class. You can see the all new 2017 Kia Forte at Van Griffith Kia Today! The little Kia has come a long way from its shaky U.S. entry in the mid-1990s. Forte debuted as a 2010 model, raising the bar over its predecessor Spectra, which had started staking a claim on U.S. driveways, including in my friend Kat’s. She still loves hers as it nears 150,000-mile mark. The 2017 refresh follows just three years after a complete makeover. The Forte gets new taillights and a smoother look up front with two designs, including the new sporty S model. The S also comes with a sport-tuned suspension and 16-inch alloy wheels. A new engine replaces last year’s 1.8, but fuel economy still lags many competitors. The 2.0-liter mill cranks out 147 ho...

2017 Kia Sportage Featured in a Crowd Compact Crossover Market There are over 16 compact crossovers on the market, another 20 midsize crossovers, and nearly a dozen subcompact crossovers. Then there's the luxury makes. With so many crossovers on the market, automakers are playing with paint, parts and design - anything and everything - to stand out. The fourth-generation Kia Sportage once again steps out of the compact crossover class with a sharp design, big wheels and peppy turbo four. The prominent face on the Sportage is flanked by adaptive lights that turn with the car and four-cube fog lights in the top-of-the-line test model. The wheelbase is stretched by 1.6 inches over the last model, and the spoiler and rear windshield cut into the computer mouse shape shared by much of the class. It's curved and stretched in the front, but nipped and tucked in the back. Direct injection 2-liter turbo four-cylinder engines are arguably the most popular engine choice in ...
