There was a time when car designs were simple. What mattered more was whether or not the nuts and bolts were in proper order. It was not until the era when vehicles became standardized and mass produced that automotive development centered on exterior styling and customized utilities. Today, cars are evolving into beautiful creations and exterior style has become the emotional punch that moves and entices prospective customers. Today’s automobile designs place emphasis on more than just external aesthetics. Most automobile design today involves deep consideration of ergonomics, performance features and driving technology based on consumer needs. Automobile design has com…

Let’s talk about aerodynamics We typically associate aerodynamics with flight, but the concept lies close to the heart of automobile design as well. So what exactly is aerodynamics and what does any of this have to do with Kia Motors? Aerodynamics is the study of how different forces affect objects that move through the air. Imagine a paper airplane. When you throw a paper plane through the air, there is the force that thrusts it forward (your hand) and another force (usually air and wind) pushing back and slowing it down. How we fold or design our paper plane affects how these two different forces react and dramatically changes how well our contraption flies. …

“Whether you’re drawn to the new Sportage by its distinctively designed front end or in spite of it, Kia’s compact SUV only gets more appealing by the mile. Over two days and 450 miles of driving, the Sportage demonstrated strength after strength with refined driving manners, user-friendly operation and an accommodating interior. But the Kia didn’t stop impressing when the driving was done.

“The 2017 Kia Sportage attempts to address those issues, while giving the small SUV a reverse-mullet haircut in the process: Instead of “business in the front, party in the back,” the new Sportage has a cartoonish, bug-eyed face, juxtapositioned against a clean and stately tail.” Click to Read More Lees hele artikel

“But where the Sportage rewards you day-in-and day-out is with its on-road charisma. This is not a boring SUV. Acceleration is rabbit quick — and the SX-GDI even offers a Sport mode for a few more revs in the twisties. In a world where (my favorite 220-horse) hot hatches are in the Sportage price point, this grunt is a welcome addition to the family ute. As is the handling. The AWD system rotates beautifully and I tore up Oakland County esses with the nicely appointed chassis. When the venom seized me Mrs. Payne reached for the door handles — which are right where they are supposed to be.” Click to Read More Lees hele artikel
