While this commercial is comparing the 2017 Kia Sportage with the 2017 Toyota RAV4, the Toyota does not have this feature and the person stuck with quickly regrets this decision while trying to get the animals in the trunk. This brought many scenario to my attention where this feature is much needed: carrying groceries, shopping bags, moving furniture, or even carrying your kids to pack the back of the car.

2017 Kia Optima | “Shoe Store” Commercial

Image
Like many of the official Kia commercials, they use both humor and the sponsored NBA team to promote their vehicles. In this particular advertisement ,”Shoe Store” promoting the 2017 Kia Optima, it uses both of those expected strategies. It starts off with a normal guy sitting in a shoe store waiting to try some shoes on. When the worker comes out and gives him his shoes, it is clear that the size he request, size 19, is way bigger than his actual shoe size. The worker questions if he would like a smaller size and he thoroughly objects, almost acting insulted as if she was crazy. He puts she shoes on you see that the shoes are extremely massive compared to his regular shoe size, but he is determined to wear them. The slogan for Kia commercials for while has been, “Just because you drive the official vehicle of the NBA doesn’t mean you an official NBA player.” As the video suggests, the main guy believes if he drives the 2017 Kia Optima like an NBA player, he can wear size 19 shoes ...

Image
If you watched the 2017 Superbowl, then you might remember Melissa McCarthy starring in the 2017 Kia Niro commercial. In it, she’s concerned about being Eco friendly, so she participates in many Eco-friendly tasks that end up being comedic for us, but unfortunate for her.

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...

2017 Kia Cadenza

Image
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 ...

No Surprise Here

Image
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 History of the Kia Sportage

Image
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...

2017 Kia Sportage

Image
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...

2017 Kia Sportage

Image
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, ...

2016 Kia Sedona

Image
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...

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...
