Stinger, Optima, Cadenza… how do our vehicles get their names? A name should embody the overall personality, design, and feel of the car as a whole. The very first step in naming a car is to define its character. Is it fast? Is it bold? Is it melodious? Clear references – names of animals for instance – are largely preferred. The proposed name also must be checked for violation of trademarks. Most importantly, the name must be cross-checked for cultural context in each and every region of the world. A name in one language can mean something completely different, which calls for a whole new name just for that region. Some of our very own vehicles often sport different na…

Q: What are some memorable moments from 2004? In August 2004, Kia launched the second generation Sportage, packed with upgrades for the 21st century. The 2004 Sportage was built with millennials in mind – its design and performance fulfilling their much more sophisticated requirements. Unlike its predecessor, the second generation Sportage featured a monocoque body structure, meaning that the chassis was one with the body, bringing greater comfort to the vehicle as a whole. Being known as the most fuel-efficient SUV in South Korea at the time, the 2004 Sportage was also recognized for its quality and safety by renowned organizations including J.D. Power…

What is a GT car? Let’s harken back to the 19th century – an invention called the automobile is introduced, opening up a myriad of opportunities to eplore untraveled frontiers. With an expanding geographic map thanks to the advent of automobiles, luxury and comfort had to be considered to the design of vehicles that were once nothing more than utilitarian means of transport. GT, short for Gran Turismo in Italian, is a term derived from the need for more comfortable and stylish long-distance rides. The very first GT were created by several manufacturers in the early 20th century to satisfy these new demands. The beginning “It [GT concept] was a dream project…

And with fuel economy figures of 28 city/37 highway/32 combined for the automatic hatch and sedan, the Rio is a fuel-sipper without resorting to costly hybrid tech.” Click to Read More Lees volledige artikel
