Kia is known for making comedic commercials to advertise their advanced and sophisticated vehicles. A couple of months ago, Kia released a commercial promoting the 2017 Kia Optima. If you haven’t yet seen it, the commercial is humorous while also encouraging a competitive-like energy. It starts off with a regular guy heading to work for a meeting in his new Kia Optima. When he gets out of the car, he puts on headphones and acts as if he is about to play in a basketball game—making dramatic entrances and saying “let’s go!” The whole video is suppose to imply that, “just because you drive the official vehicle of the NBA, doesn’t make you an official NBA player.” This funny Kia commercial is a light-hearted and fun way to show off the 2017 Kia Optima on relatable level. 

For the fifth consecutive year, Kia Motors America's (KMA) iconic urban passenger vehicle, the Soul, was named a winner at the 13 th annual Active Lifestyle Vehicle of the Year awards held recently in Chandler, Arizona. Once again, local media and elite athletes rated the Soul best in the urban category after dynamic and real-world evaluations, while the all-new 2017 Cadenza wowed them with its stunning new design and comfortable passenger space. "Winning the Active Lifestyle Vehicle award for the fifth consecutive year is a clear indication that the Soul makes a great companion for urbanites who are constantly on the go," said Orth Hedrick, vice president of product planning, KMA.

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 ...

Kia Rolls Out the New Soul EV to Stakes it’s Place In The Electric Global Auto Industry The Kia Soul EV is in many ways exactly what you’d expect if you are an EV enthusiast. It is so similar externally to the regular Kia Soul that most people don’t even recognize it is an EV. It lacks a gas input and has a hidden electric input on the front grill, slightly different lights and has some aerodynamic rims and low rolling resistance wheels. But besides those little details and of course the small ‘EcoElectric’ label on the car, it is pretty hard to tell this is an EV. From a drive train perspective, Kia removed the gas tank and internal combustion engine and all of the bits that go with it. In its place Kia placed 32.7kWh of batteries. Under the hood it switched out the 4 cylinder ICE with a tiny 109HP AC engine, but surprisingly capable engine thanks to 210ft/lbs of EV torque. On top of that is a charge controller and inverter. There’s a ton of empty space up there in the fro...

2018 Kia Gt Sports Sedan Becoming a Reality Kia has long sold itself as the sporty Korean bran. Any manufacturer that wants to be considered as such needs a true sports sedan in its lineup, which means standard rear-wheel drive. Indeed, the Kia GT—or whatever it ends up being called; the code name is CK—will be rear-wheel drive, and it will have the BMW 3-series in its sights. It also sends the message that Kia is willing to step outside of its daily family-car and crossover safety zone to build the kind of vehicles that appeal to enthusiasts. As a luxury sports sedan, the GT also will provide a fertile ground for extensive luxury options and trim levels, which can increase profit margins. The GT will look to offer seductive styling at a substantial discount over the cost of traditional European competition, but the car’s success largely will hinge on how it drives. We expect Kia to offer the GT in four- and six-cylinder variants, with the sportiest model getting a 3.3-liter tu...

2017 Kia Rio Grows Up 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 sheetmetal 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 reveal any other specs on the car, but those specific details ...
