2017 Kia Cadenza | “Impossible to Ignore” Commercial

Image
The 2017 Kia Cadenza is a powerful car with expressive and sleek style. Kia released a commercial promoting this power called, “Impossible to Ignore” Starring Christina Hendricks. This advertisement involves a powerful figure, Christina Hendricks, leaving her hotel. As she’s walking down down the street, multiple chauffeur’s are opening the car doors to Audi’s, BMW’s, and Lexus’s. Instead of getting into these luxury vehicles, she continues on her way till she gets to her very own 2017 Kia Cadenza to drive herself. The whole point of the commercial is to recognize that the 2017 Cadenza is more powerful and confident than the other luxury vehicles. As the video continues, the slogan that grabs consumers attention is, “Confidence never goes out of style.” Kia has given the 2017 Kia Cadenza a new idea of style and luxury.

Kia: Innovation at its Finest

Image
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...

The Coming Up of the Kia Optima

Image
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...

2016 Kia Cadenza

Image
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...

Kia Niro Hybrid SUV: The Future is Now

Image
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 “...

According to Kelly Blue Book, Kia Optima Leads the Way

Image
Kelly Blue Book is still the standard to go by when you are looking to purchase a vehicle.  They don’t throw around awards lightly and when they do hand one out, you can be assured that it is well deserved.  So when it came to handing out the award for the midsize car best buy award, they put their stamp of approval on the 2016 Kia Optima. “The Optima’s success has come through constant improvement.  Throughout its life this sedan has persevered to be better, evolving from an also-ran when it debuted 15 years ago to what it is today: a refined, advanced, rewarding to drive midsize sedan with luxury looks at a mainstream price.” Wrote KBB on its site.  “The all-new 2016 Kia Optima is even more focused, besting not only the outgoing model but edging out rivals in one of the market’s most competitive segments.” It was redesigned with comfort and convenience of the consumer in mind.  Even the standard trim includes features like height adjustable passenger sea...

2016 Kia K900

Image
The 2016 Kia K900 is luxury redefined.  There is no way you appreciate the feel of this car without getting in it and taking it around the block for yourself.  This car maintains some of its main design and functions.  For instance, the upcoming design has similar grille however it gets less abrasive exterior angles.  Its headlights meet the grille similar to the present K900 however the headlights are more rounded.  Another obvious redesign is in the fog lights as they have become a trapezoidal style from the existing vertical design which makes this offering seem more mature. The rear overhang is likewise a bit large which results in more cargo space.  It gets terrific appearances thanks to the use of LED technology in its lighting system and Xenon for its low beam, in addition to LED strips that run across the whole back.  Steering is covered in leather just like the equipment shifter.  The interior devices consist of dual zone environmen...

5 Maintenance Tips for Spring

Image
1. Check your windshield wipers. Icy windshields have likely created some extra wear and tear on your wipers and reduced the flexibility in the rubber. Since reliable wipers are a necessity, make sure you check them over every three months. 2. If you drive with all season tires, take the time to check the tread depth this spring. You don't want to find out your tires are worn because you've started hydroplaning on a rainy day. Adjust the air pressure to the recommended inflation for your tires and book a tire rotation to prolong the life of your tires and keep you safer on the road. 3. Change the oil.  Ask about the benefits of switching to synthetic oil. 4. Clean the exterior thoroughly. Take some extra time really clean the undercarriage area where road salt can cling. An especially thorough cleaning is necessary to avoid rust. 5. Top up your fluids. After operating during cold temperatures, your vehicle's transmission fluid, window washer fluid, coolant ...
