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.

How we fold or design our paper plane affects how these two different forces react and dramatically changes how well our contraption flies. …

Kia is reportedly readying a compact crossover model that will compete with the Mazda CX-3 and Honda HR-V. Speaking to Motoring, Kia Australia COO Damien Meredith spoke about a new model that will be aimed directly at the CX-3 and HR-V and could possibly make a debut at the 2016 L.A. Auto Show or 2017 Detroit Auto Show. The compact crossover will be based on the Kia Rio, and Meredith admits that it’s possible it will cannibalize sales of the Rio, much like how the CX-3 killed off the Mazda2 in North America. “We’ve got to be very strident about what effect it will have on Rio,” he said. “It needs to fit into the market and do what it needs to do in the CX-3 and HR-V se…

Kia is calling back about 219,800 Sedona minivans in the United States over an issue with the hood latch. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the secondary latch that holds the hood closed can rust, resulting in it sticking in the open position. If this happens and the primary hood latch isn’t properly shut, the hood can fly open when the vehicle picks up speed.
