Almost ten years ago, Kia was inspired to try something new. Innovation has always been our forte, so ‘trying something new’ actually wasn’t very new to us. But this time, it felt different. We were inspired by the style and practicality of the SUV, but wanted to build a car that carried versatile DNA and riding comfort of a sedan. All of this inspiration gave birth to the Kia Soul, which was first introduced as a CUV (Crossover Utility Vehicle) concept car at the 2006 North American International Auto Show as the brainchild of collaboration between our design studios in California and Korea. Since then, we’ve proven that innovation isn’t just a one-time affair—for us, in…

Over 4 days, from January 7 – 10, Las Vegas was hit with a dizzying display of tomorrow’s high-tech gear and gadgets. The Consumer Electronics Show is no auto show, but that didn’t stop Kia from stealing the spotlight in Las Vegas this past week. The CES provides the perfect platform to showcase the future of automotive technologies—so it’s no wonder that everyone had their eyes on the Kia booth. Consumer Reports stopped by and made note of our bigger-and-better display specs (as mentioned in our previous post), calling it “the big-screen car cabin of tomorrow,” while Left Lane was impressed by our “next-gen infotainment systems.” So if the CES 2014 isn’t an auto show…

Among the endless rows of “new” and “bold” car lineups at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), you’ll still be caught off-guard at the sight Kia’s breath-taking “Ignition Yellow” GT4 Stinger. Some of its features are worth teasing. The Flame inside that Shoots the Arrow Beneath the low wedge of the sculpted hood resides a tuned version of Kia’s proven 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline direct injected (T-GDI) four-cylinder engine pumping out an impressive 315 horsepower. The hooves hit the ground via a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission that routes power to the rear wheels where 275/35R20 Pirelli P-Zero performance tires meet the asphalt. Staggered …
