Hi guys, today we want to share about the cutting-edge technology used in the safety features of the stylish and unique all-new Picanto.

The addition of VSM (Vehicle Stability Management) for compact cars has made the all-new Picanto more intelligent, in terms of safety. All-new Picanto comes with improved side-impact protection, thanks to a higher percentage of ultra high-tensile steel (980Mpa) with ring-shaped reinforcing loops within the B- and C-pillars. The body shell is also lighter, leading to improved fuel efficiency. The high-tensile steel (400MPa)…

Silence isn’t golden. While car manufacturers have been focusing on producing quiet cars for a long time, they are now looking into making cars with “just the right amount of sound”. And in that respect, Kia’s NVH technology keeps on making progress. Did you know a car is typically composed of over 30,000 parts? The intricate network of components that go into a car, including the engine and chassis, generates noise, vibration and harshness (NVH), which altogether largely affect the driving sensation. At Kia, we have specialized R&D units such as our NVH2 Research Lab and Noise Vibration Development Team dedicated to minimizing uncomfortable noise and maximiz…

Recently, Kia conducted a new type of vehicle crash test on its stylish minivan, the Grand Carnival (Sedona), which received the maximum 5-star safety rating from NHTSA.

Watch as the Grand Carnival gets dropped 12.6 meters, which results in the exact same impact as a standard 56 km/h crash test. With a rigid body structure composed of 52 percent Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS), Kia Grand Carnival ensures the maximum level of safety for drivers and their families, even during extreme situations.
