Kia has published two teaser images of the upcoming 2015 Kia Sedona (Carnival), which will make its official debut in New York, next week. The passenger vehicle looks pretty good and takes styling cues from other models.
The mid-size MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) has an almost flat roofline so there will be lots of headroom available. The 2015 Sedona will have rear sliding doors making the entry easier. There will be space for up to eight passengers (7+1), which makes the new Sedona a perfe

Kia’s new midsize multi-purpose vehicle has just been teased with a first image. The picture above actually shows a lot of what we can expect to see at the 2014 New York International Auto Show in April, when the car will make an official debut. With this vehicle Kia aims to challenge the segment and offer a new interpretation of an eight-passenger car that will also appeal to the adventure seekers.
Except for this information, the brand didn’t disclose much more information. Making conclusions when looking at t

With the Geneva Motor Show drawing nearer, we get all kinds of news: interesting, prolific, and downright mind blowing. This is neither of these, but we'll deliver nevertheless. It's the slightly updated Kia Sportage range for this year.
Here's the deal: the MY2014 gets a new premium sound system, FlexSteer (Kia's selectable steering feedback) as standard, a heated steering wheel, and trailer stability control. In terms of refinement, the interior is, apparently, less noisy thanks to an even more stream defying

The new Kia Soul has been honoured with the iF Product Design. The Track'ster-inspired compact SUV is supposed to be both radiating the genes of its predecessors and the light of the new age.
“The great challenge we faced when designing the second model generation was to preserve the strong, individual character that made the Kia Soul so successful, and at the same time give the design new impulses”, says Peter Schreyer, President and Chief Design Officer of Kia Motors Corporation.

The K900 – Kia's flagship sedan – now comes with a V8 engine. V6 engines will also be available, but they won't be the top of the top now, will they? Also, each version of the 2015 model year has quite a few equipment packages, so you'll have to extra careful in your choice.
The V6 K900 base range – which will go on sale later this year - is called the Premium. It's still pretty luxurious with front and rear park-assist sensors and cameras, a leathered interior, a multimedia steering wheel,

Kia are planning to introduce a new range for the Picanto, Rio and, cee'd (low-case spelling) models. It's called the VR7 which sounds sporty but it really isn't.
All VR7 models should have a high level of standard equipment. That means air conditioning, leathered steering wheel and gear shift knob, Bluetooth connectivity and USB and AUX ports. On the exterior the new trim-line cars will showcase a selection of features usually found on premium models: alloy wheels, reversing seonsrs, electrically adjustable hea

X-Tomi Design has published a render picture of Kia GT4 Stinger Convertible Concept. The Korean manufacturer managed to impress the audience at 2014 NAIAS in Detroit with GT4 Stinger Concept.
The Coupe is powered by a T-GDI 2.0 liter engine – 315HP. All of that power is sent to the rear wheels via a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission. The stopping power is courtesy to the Brembo Gran Turismo 15” crossdrilled rotors and four-piston calipers.
The GT4 Coupe boasts 52:48 weight distribution, the quick-ra

Pure, unadulterated fun is the idea behind the Kia GT4 Stinger Concept which has now gone public in Detroit at the North American Auto Show. An engine at the front, rear-wheel drive, 2+2 seating and an acceptable price. Could eventually Kia be taking on the BRZ and the GT 86? Let's hope so.
What we do know for sure, however that the GT4 looks amazing. Yeah, it's a concept and that's what it's supposed to look like, but this one does the job particularly good. It's 169/7 inches long, 74.4 inches wide and just 49.
