The Kia hamsters will return to the television set, when a 60-second commercial debuts starring the 2014 Kia Soul. The hamsters, which first debuted in 2009, have gone on a pretty generous diet and will debut minutes after Lady Gaga’s first-ever live performance of “Applause” during the MTV Video Music Awards this Sunday. The ad, titled “Totally Transformed,” will appear on over 33,000 movie screens nationwide starting August 30. SEE ALSO: 2014 Kia Soul is Fun, Funky and Functional You will be able to view the add on Kia’s YouTube page prior to the MTV Video Music Awards on August 25. “When the first Soul arrived on the scene, everyone at Kia believed we had a hit on our hands but we didn’t realize how big that hit was going to be, and our year-over-year success is a direct result of the hamster commercials entertaining the young and young-at-heart with their baggy clothes, excellent taste in music and slick dance moves,” said Michael Sprague, Kia Motor America’s executive vice president of marketing & communications. “Now in its second generation, the Soul maintains its individualistic edge with a fresh take on its iconic design as well as a ‘Totally Transformed’ driving experience, and the hamsters have followed suit by getting fit and developing a new fashion sense that reflects the sophistication of the newly refined Soul.” The 2014 Kia Soul is powered by either a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine with 130 horsepower or a 2.0-liter with 164 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. It will be on sale this fall. Discuss this story at KiaSoulForums.com Lees het hele artikel

Hamsters Hit the gym to the Sounds of Lady Gaga’s new single “Applause” for a makeover that mirrors the new-found refinement of Kia’s second-generation urban passenger vehicle Since bursting on the scene in 2009, Kia Motors America’s portly, brightly clothed hamsters have had their paws on the pulse of pop culture and become some of the most-watched advertising icons of all time. Nearly five years later, the hamsters have slimmed down and slicked their hair back to introduce the world to the latest version of Kia’s most iconic people mover – the all-new 2014 Soul – in the “Totally Transformed” campaign set to the new single, “Applause,” from multi-platinum and Grammy Award-winning artist Lady Gaga. The original Soul was the funky car that began Kia’s design-led transformation, and the second generation of the popular urban passenger vehicle is more refined and functional than ever with more room, more available premium features and materials, improved driving dynamics and an instantly recognizable yet thoroughly fresh appearance. Created by David&Goliath, Kia’s advertising agency of record, “Totally Transformed” can be viewed at YouTube.com/Kia before its broadcast debut during the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, August 25. Kia’s newly polished icons will also hit the big screen when the multi-platform campaign expands to more than 33,000 movie screens nationwide in USA on August 30.

The Hyundai-Kia America Technical Center, Inc. (HATCI) is partnering with the University of Michigan to devise systems that will help curb distracted driving, and reduce fuel consumption. Engineers from HATCI will work with graduate students and professors from the university in a collaborative effort to develop a deterrent for ‘highway hypnosis’, a mental state in which a driver can pass over many miles without recollection of having consciously done so. Using electroencephalograph (EEG) sensors, the engineers are looking to devise a way to study a driver’s brainwave activity to be able to identify the signs of drowsiness early on. When detected, an audible or tactile alarm will go off to keep the driver awake. This type of system already exists today, but it uses head position and eyelid activity to determine drowsiness, both of which keep the system from detecting the onset of sleep until the very end, unlike EEG sensors which detect sleepiness early on. The team is also looking into optimizing engines using a dual pre-chamber lean-burn combustion system. The study will focus on combustion chamber and piston dome geometry development, and work will be carried out on a single cylinder optical engine.

We are winding down summer and as August comes to a close, it’s time again for another round of Kia Fan Photos of the Month. We hope you enjoy these photos that give a peek into the lives of Kia owners around the world. Greetings Kia fans, I am Lewis from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I am so glad that I could make a group of friends who are driving the exact same Kia Forte as me. We’re just like a family, we always hang out together and even organized this wedding proposal for one of our members. It turned out great and the reflective sticker on our cars created a wonderful effect. The wedding proposal was a huge success! We hope to meet more Kia fans out there to share their fascinating stories with us =) Hi Lewis, this wedding proposal looked very sweet and fun! It’s awesome to hear that it was success, and those reflective stickers really help to pop the big question. Congratulations to the happy couple! Please tell us more about your group and feel free to share more photos! One question, with all of you guys having the same model and color, do you guys ever get mixed up in a parking lot? Kia is really proud to be a part of these special moments in life, and we put our passion into our cars and connecting with our customers. Thanks for sharing this us. Hi Kia! This is Wayne. My wife and I left to Hawaii for our honeymoon this summer. We were driving around the island with the Kia Soul. The fresh floral air energized us and the warm tranquil waters refreshed us. Our honeymoon in Hawaii with Kia Soul will be the best memory ever in my life. Thanks! Congratulations on your wedding and your fantastic honeymoon! In addition to surprise, the Kia Soul seems to have the power to romance. That serene beach landscape has made all of us here envious of your Hawaii getaway, especially since we already used our summer vacation days. So far we’ve had a marriage proposal and a honeymoon. What’s next? A couple having a baby in a Kia? Wait a second… that’s already happened. My wife and I are into geocaching. It’s a great way to get out and see the country, particularly when you stay in a place as stunning as we do. Our Kia Sorento is our cachmobile and a very important part of being able to get to some of the less accessible places we need to get to. We had to Google “Geocaching,” and it sounds really adventurous. For everyone’s reference it’s a treasure hunting game where you use a GPS to hide and seek containers with other participants. What an exciting activity! You and your wife sound like you’re living a high tech version of Indiana Jones movie. Where was this photo taken? Could you also tell us some of the places your Kia Sorento has taken you guys? Please share more photos of your Kia Sorento from your next treasure hunt! Hi, I’m Vladislav from Serbia. This was taken at the top of Mt. Kopaonik in Serbia, at 1900m, where people go skiing in the winter and I go Kia-ing in summer. 2003 crdi 140hp Sorento. Pure pleasure. Rock on Kia!!! Hi Vladislav! We love how you captured the sunset with your Sorento basking in its radiance! “Kia-ing” we like that term and it sounds like the kind of pastime we’re into. Mt. Kopaonik also sounds like a nice place to visit. It would be our pleasure to see more photos of you Kia-ing! Here’s a random and interesting historical fact we stumbled upon and wanted to share with readers: “Kopaonik has a rich historical heritage and the area was an important mining center during medieval times with many Saxons operating in the area as miners.” Yes, we are history geeks. This wraps up August’s edition of Kia Fan Photos of the Month. If you haven’t submitted yet, be sure to use of this opportunity to share your own Kia photos here!

Rolling foothills of the European Alps, vast vineyards, large lakes and a world famous racetrack in the Italian city of Franciacorta set the stage for the local media’s test drive of the all-new Kia pro_cee’d GT. The pro_cee’d GT powers Kia into one of the most high-profile market segments in Europe, and it’s among our most performance-focused production cars ever. And last month was an opportunity to make an impression with the Italian automotive pros, who are no stranger to high-performance with Italy being a leader in producing the world’s best supercars. Fitted with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, the front-wheel drive models can accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in 7.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 230 kph. The pro_cee’d GT can accelerate from 60-100 kph in fourth gear in 5.4 seconds, 80-120 kph in fifth gear in 7.3 seconds and 80-120 kph in sixth gear in 8.8 seconds. These journalists were in for a ride and we wanted to share some eye catching post event photos from our Flickr gallery here on Kia-Buzz. What do you think? Would you like to take the pro_cee’d GT out for a test drive? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section below!

An all-new version of the Kia Soul will make its European debut at the 65th Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA) in Frankfurt on 10 September 2013. It will be joined by a dramatic new urban B-segment concept vehicle, which makes its world premiere, as well as the new bi-fuel Kia Picanto LPG and upgraded Kia Optima. The all-new Kia Soul stays true to the original iconic design, with modern design cues matched by improved dynamics and a range of economical engines. The smooth new-look exterior is inspired by the 2012 Kia Track’ster concept and introduces a thoroughly fresh, more grown-up appearance without losing its individualistic edge. Availability? The all-new Soul will go on sale across Europe in early spring, when the full model line-up, choice of gasoline and diesel powertrains, performance, economy, equipment specifications and prices will be confirmed. Also making its debut at Frankfurt: Kia Concept – Name to be revealed at Motor Show Kia will also be showing its dramatic new European concept car, which hints at a possible future B-segment contender ready to take on the urban environment with style and tenacity. The latest concept from the brand is born out of Kia’s determination to seek new compact car options for urban drivers, and has been designed and created in Europe with European tastes and expectations very much in mind. Playful but gutsy, sturdy yet impish – Kia’s dramatic new European concept to be unveiled at the IAA in Frankfurt on 10 September. Refreshed Kia Optima Responding to customer feedback and developments in the ever-competitive European marketplace, the Frankfurt show will also see the introduction of an upgraded Kia Optima, with an enhanced design, new infotainment, convenience and safety features, increased refinement, improved quality and a more premium finish. As well as a visual refresh of the D-segment model, Kia has also focused on introducing greater refinement to the Optima, one of the key areas for improvement targeted by engineers. Measures adopted to reduce road noise in the new model include fitting a dynamic damper to the rear suspension cross member, improving the vehicle‘s sound-proofing and fitting stronger alloy wheels. Combined, these measures have reduced road noise by 3.3 dB. A number of changes designed to enhance engine efficiency have also been adopted, including an overrunning alternator decoupler and an innovative battery management system. As a result, CO2 emissions start from 133 g/km for the 1.7-litre diesel model, and go as low as 128 g/km when fitted with Kia’s optional fuel-saving stop/start ISG system. The Optima is among the lower vehicle tax bands in many European countries. New bi-fuel Kia Picanto LPG The new bi-fuel Picanto LPG, developed in response to growing customer demand for small cars with low running costs, will also be introduced at the IAA show. The new model is powered by a special version of Kia’s three-cylinder 1.0-litre Kappa engine, producing 67 ps and 90 Nm of torque. The new Picanto LPG promises even lower running costs than conventional gasoline-only Picanto models. The new variant will record fuel economy in LPG mode of 5.8 l / 100 km and CO2 emissions of 100 g/km – with automatic stop-start (ISG) equipped models achieving 5.6 l / 100 km and 97 g/km. The new Picanto LPG is fitted with two fuel tanks – the regular 35-litre gasoline tank in the regular position ahead of the rear axle and a 27-litre pressurised LPG tank located beneath the trunk floor in the space previously occupied by the spare wheel. Drivers can switch from gasoline to LPG (and vice-versa) simply by pressing a button on the dashboard. Initially, the bi-fuel model will be available in Germany, Italy, Poland, Czech Republic, Greece, Portugal and the Netherlands – where it expected to account for up to 7% of Picanto sales. When it goes on sale later this year, the left-hand drive Picanto LPG will be the first, and only, LPG-powered car in the marketplace with a 7-Year, 150,000 km warranty.
