The seventh of eight Kia customized Justice League-themed vehicles has been unveiled at the 2013 New York Auto Show: The Wonder Woman Kia Sportage. The Korean automaker teamed up with DC Entertainment and Super Street magazine to transform the mundane crossover to a vehicle inspired by Wonder Woman’s power, inspiration, and sense of equality. Accenting the Sportage’s aesthetics is a custom aero kit and a red and blue exterior color scheme. Influenced directly from Wonder Woman’s costume are the stars and gold trim, while paying a subtle homage to her weapon of choice, “The Lasso of Truth.” The eagle chest-plate emblem was custom integrated into the production Sportage grille while blue headlight beams reflect Wonder Woman’s piercing blue eyes. On the inside, red upholstery and custom dash pieces are combined with blue LED lighting while the seats were heavily influenced by Wonder Woman’s outfit and are embroidered with her logo. SEE ALSO: Kia Debuts Justice League Concepts: 2012 SEMA Show The eighth and final vehicle is currently in the works and will be an amalgamation of all seven Super Heroes in one. “As one of the most well-known Super Heroes in the world, Wonder Woman portrays an impressive balance of power, agility and confidence, all of which are inherent characteristics of the Kia Sportage crossover,” said Michael Sprague, executive vice president, marketing & communications, KMA. “Like the rest of the Justice League-inspired vehicles, this customized Sportage signifies a meaningful collaboration between cars and pop-culture. And for the first time, here in New York, all seven vehicles are standing together in one place to raise awareness for DC Entertainment’s very worthy ‘We Can Be Heroes’ giving campaign.” GALLERY: Wonder Woman Kia Sportage Discuss this story at Kia-Forums.com Lees het hele artikel

Kia Motors sprang a major surprise on visitors to the 9th Seoul International Motor Show in Korea with the world premiere of its all-new ‘CUB’ concept. Designed at the Kia headquarters studio in Seoul, under the direction of President and Chief Design Officer, Peter Schreyer, the CUB is less than four meters long, has rearward-opening rear doors and an ‘access-all-areas’ interior concept without traditional B-pillars, providing excellent access to the luxuriously trimmed cabin. The exterior styling of the CUB highlights that it is both sleek and small, with a cheerful face and a daring character. Design features created by Peter Schreyer for the 2007 Kia Kee 2+2 concept are revisited in a new form. The CUB’s nose has a broad wrap-around ‘mouth’ and there is a ‘dip’ in the top of the windshield – a motif that is featured on Optima, Sportage and Cadenza models. The latest interpretation of grille is a shallower design incorporating the turbocharger’s air intake, highlighted in body color. The headlamps feature two-point LED lights – similar to those which first appeared on the Kia Quoris large flagship sedan last year. Large 19-inch alloy wheels fill the wheelarches and the front doors have aerodynamic ‘turning-vanes’ at sill level to streamline and add definition the CUB’s flanks. At the rear, LED tail lights complete the premium feel of the exterior and the nose treatment derived from Kia’s Kee concept car is replicated at the tail to accentuate the width of the vehicle. The super-smooth exterior, with its flush glazing, minimum-drag wing mirrors and automatic touch-type door handles, promises ultra-low aerodynamic drag. A two-color paint finish with sporty stripe hints at the CUB’s high-performance potential, while the car’s broad track gives it an imposing stance. Four-seater luxury cabin With four individual seats, the CUB’s interior presents a unique ambience. The cabin creates the sensation of a luxurious coupe and is trimmed in black leather with yellow color accents around the seats, door armrests and steering wheel. The instrument cluster design is inspired by the eyes of a wild animal. The center-stack design is minimalist with an air vent controlled by touch sensor. For extra safety, the steering wheel rim is capable of monitoring the driver`s biorhythms. As well as a steering-wheel, there is a DIS (Driving Information System) controller connected to a gesture camera which provides easier operation while driving. With well-defined motions, drivers can set up each menu on the center display. Hinting at the high-performance nature of the CUB, there is a footrest provided in the front passenger footwell. Turbocharged 204 ps engine The CUB powertrain features a new version of the company’s 1.6-liter GDI (gasoline direct injection) engine – recently confirmed as the powerunit for the new Kia pro_cee’d GT and cee’d GT sold in Europe. Fitted with a twin-scroll turbocharger and strengthened internal components, the new engine generates 51% more power (204 ps) and 60% more torque (265 Nm) than the regular 1.6 unit. This engine enables both of Kia’s European GT models, with a six-speed manual transmission, to accelerate to 100 kph in 7.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 230 kph. At present there are no plans to put the Kia CUB concept into volume production. Lees hele artikel

Kia’s design led transformation began with the introduction of the Kia Soul and has now come full circle here today with the debut of the 2014 Soul today at the New York Auto Show. The new look stays true to the original, while taking design cues from the Trackster concept. Overall it looks smoother, as well as more modern, with items like taillights that look lifted off a concept car. Larger than before its almost half an inch longer between the wheels and a half inch wider, while the trunk opening is 2.4-inches wider for easier loading. With those new dimensions comes more interior space like almost an extra inch of front-seat legroom and fractions of an inch more rear set legroom and headroom. 2013 NY Auto Show Complete Coverage But the interior gains more than just space, with an available eight-inch touch screen featuring the second generation UVO telematics system. Using an Android-based platform it brings many of the car’s features into the digital realm while offering table-like controls, including finger swiping. Need more screens? A display in the center of the gauges can also show turn-by-turn navigation instructions. And with all sorts of other features, like Pandora internet radio, it’s easy to get confused. That’s why Kia has also built in several instructional videos to help you get the most of UVO. Standard equipment of the 2014 Soul includes power windows, heated mirrors, a six-speaker audio system, Bluetooth, as well as USB and Aux inputs. Base equipment under the hood is a direct injection 1.6-liter four-cylinder with 130 hp, while a direct injection 2.0-liter makes 164 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque. Both engines have been updated for 2014 with better torque off the line to improve the around-town driving experience. Drivers will also appreciate the massaged suspension system, with four front subframe bushings (surprisingly, the current car has none) as well as a new suspension design to improve wheel travel and, therefore, ride quality. Movement of the steering rack helps to improve on-center steering feel while an optional Flex Steer system delivers three driving modes: Normal, Comfort and Sport. On sale this Fall, pricing has not yet been announced for the 2014 Soul but it will come in two new colors including Solar Yellow and Inferno Red (shown).

Kia unveiled its boldest car to date today at the 2013 New York Auto Show: the 2014 Forte Koup. Just like its five-door sibling, the car can come equipped with a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine that makes 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. Of course, there’s also the less exciting 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 173 horsepower with 154 lb-ft of torque. Even more than the practically-minded siblings, this is Kia’s most performance-capable car ever. “Its rakish design, premium amenities and powerful turbocharged engine set it apart from the competition,” Kia marketing executive Michael Sprague said. “With the debut of the Forte sedan and 5-door earlier this year, and now the Koup in New York, the Forte lineup has been completely revamped from top to bottom.” Complete 2013 New York Auto Show Coverage Just like the five-door version that debuted during the Chicago Auto Show in February, there are two trim levels available: EX and SX. The first comes with the less-exciting 2.0-liter engine while the SX is packaged with the 1.6-liter turbo engine. Kia calls the SX a tarmac carver, and while that has yet to be seen it can be had with a six-speed manual or optional automatic with paddle shifters. The EX trim, on the other hand, only comes equipped with a six-speed auto. Other features include standard 16-inch allow wheels with the option to upgrade to 18-inch version along with a standard backup camera, Bluetooth connectivity, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel with audio controls, and LED light strips above the headlights. SX models get larger 18-inch wheels with a dual exhaust system and faux-carbon fiber exterior details. The same carbon look carries into the interior details, while a long list of available upgrades include everything from a heated and cooled driver’s seat, a push-button start and a driver-selectable steering system with comfort, sport and normal modes.

In an effort to keep sales coming in, Kia is unveiling its refreshed 2014 Optima mid-size sedan at the 2013 New York Auto Show. The car now comes with LED fog and front position lights as well as LEDs taillights. Improvements continue with the interior where drivers will find a 4.3-inch TFT instrument display and an optional eight-inch infotainment screen. Kia is also offering an optional blind spot monitoring system that includes rear cross-traffic alert. Standard features include chrome exhaust tips on the entry-level LX model, mirror-integrated turn signals, fog lights, heated mirrors and 16-inch alloy wheels. A six-speed automatic transmission is also standard equipment, which will stand out to most consumers compared to competing cars like the Mazda6 that still charge for that equipment. 2013 New York Auto Show Coverage It the same powertrain and trim levels: a 2.4-liter four cylinder or a stronger 2.0-liter turbocharged unit. Selectable drive modes will also be available in the Optima for the first time, although that will be limited to the sportier SX version. Selecting the performance mode won’t toy with throttle response as it does in many others, but it will increase steering weight and alter the transmission’s shift point. Lees het hele artikel

Kia Motors unveiled a significantly updated version of its best-selling Optima mid-size sedan at the 2013 New York International Auto Show (NYIAS). Just three years ago, Kia turned the automotive world on its head when the Peter Schreyer-penned Optima mid-size sedan was unveiled at the 2010 NYIAS. Since that time, Optima has become Kia’s sales leader, selling more than 150,000 units last year and gaining worldwide acclaim for its European-inspired design and fun-to-drive performance. The 2014 Optima, built in the U.S.* at Kia’s West Point, Ga., facility (KMMG), arrives with updated front and rear fascias, retaining the vehicle’s dynamic and sporty proportions. Available in LX, EX, SX and SX-Limited trims, the Optima’s new premium amenities and convenience options make Optima an impressive player in the competitive mid-size sedan segment. The 2014 Optima is expected to arrive in Kia retail showrooms in the third quarter of the year, and pricing will be announced closer to the vehicle’s on-sale date. Improvement of an already iconic design In a mid-size sedan segment long dominated by function over desirability, the 2014 Optima cements the model’s status as a trailblazer of combining style and substance in an affordably priced vehicle. Refining the Optima’s sculpted, high-end appearance, Kia’s Frankfurt-based design team improved the vehicle’s front and rear fascias and the brand’s signature tabbed grille. The vehicle’s bold stance and aerodynamic shape are further accentuated by updated rear diffusers and a sweeping trunk lid. Lighting up the European-inspired design are striking front LED positioning and fog lights, along with clear, newly designed LED rear lamps. The improvements continue within the cabin of the 2014 Optima, as drivers are greeted with more upscale and high-tech amenities. Activating the Optima’s push button ignition brings two new displays to life: a 4.3-inch TFT LCD instrument cluster and optional high-resolution 8-inch navigation and telematics screen, featuring UVO eServices, an 8-speaker Infinity® sound system, HD Radio™, SiriusXM™ Satellite Radioand SiriusXM Traffic™4. All-new seat designs ensure a comfortable drive in the powerful and spirited sedan, while an optional new Blind Spot Detection (BSD) system, which includes rear cross-traffic alert and rear parking sensors, improve convenience and peace of mind. Every 2014 Optima, comes well equipped with a generous roster of standard features. The LX trim offers dual exhaust with chrome tips, solar glass, exterior mirror turn signal indicators, front fog lights, exterior heated mirrors, chrome accented exterior door handles and new 16-inch alloy wheels fitted with 205/65R16 tires and a six-speed automatic transmission. The volume-leading EX trim offers larger 17-inch alloy wheels fitted with 215/55R17 tires, leather seats, 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat, and an illuminated front cup holders. Moving to the SX trim, consumers will find stylish new 18-inch polished alloy wheels with 225/45R18 tires, unique front and rear lower bumpers and side sills, aero wiper blades. The SX-T includes HID headlights with auto leveling. Elevating to the top-of-the-line Limited trim brings Optima to another level of sporty refinement, adding unique 18-inch chrome wheels, new LED fog lights, red brake calipers, an electronic parking brake, chrome accented side sills, and premium Nappa leather seats. Dynamic and Efficient Powertrains The 2014 Optima is available with two powerful Theta II powerplants featuring gasoline direct injection (GDI) technology: a 2.4-liter GDI four-cylinder or a 2.0-liter GDI turbo engine. A 2.4-liter hybrid powertrain is also available. The 2.4-liter GDI engine is available on LX, EX and SX models while the more robust 2.0-liter turbo GDI engine is offered exclusively to the SX. This turbo-charged unit delivers V6-type power with a four-cylinder’s efficiency. Each engine choice is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission featuring Sportmatic® clutchless shifting. New for the 2014 Optima, and exclusive to the sporty SX variant, is Drive Mode Select (DMS), which adjusts transmission shift points and steering weight, offering owners a customizable driving experience.

The car that started Kia’s modern day transformation will itself be re-invented, with the Korean automaker planning to debut the second-generation of its distinctive Soul model at the NY Auto Show this week. Spy photos have revealed little in the way of what Kia has in store for the design, though it’s sure to adapt cues from the new Forte sedan, while keeping its unique boxy shape. A lower stance and wider body are also likely. Look for a base 1.6-liter 4-cylinder with 138 hp, with a new direct injection 2.0-liter making as much as 173 hp. SEE ALSO: 2014 Kia Forte Review As for the Forte Koup, don’t expect any surprises beyond what’s currently offered in the sedan model including a base 148 hp 1.8-liter and a 173 hp 2.0-liter.

The torque figure from the engine remains the same at 154 lb-ft, as does the electric motor at 151 lb-ft, however, the lithium-polymer battery pack now has more capacity and takes up less trunk space resulting in more torque overall to 235 lb-ft combined, from 195 lb-ft.

Get ready to hit the open road with The Croods, as Kia Motors Corporation and DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. join forces for a promotional campaign in support of the all-new Kia Carens and DreamWorks Animation’s upcoming 3D comedy adventure. At the campaign’s centerpiece is an original co-branded short video titled “Meet the Carens” featuring the world’s first modern family, The Croods, and the all-new Kia Carens compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV). The promotion kicks off an integrated marketing campaign that will span 25 markets worldwide* and reach consumers through print, outdoor, online and television media and extensive in-dealer activation. The goal of the campaign is to highlight the stylish and modern family appeal of the all-new Kia Carens using the colorful setting, fun and adventure of The Croods which made its worldwide debut on March 13th. The all-new Carens made its world-premiere at the Paris Motor Show in September 2012 and is designed to meet the needs of modern families – from all eras. It features sleek aerodynamics, a cab-forward design that ensures generous interior space with a choice of five or seven seats (perfect for a big extended family like the Croods), and a broad range of convenience and safety features. “We are proud to be partnering with DreamWorks Animation for this campaign. The Croods characters are a perfect fit for our seven-seater Carens, and we believe they can convey the modern family charm of our MPV in a fun and distinctive way,” said Scott Woo, general manager of overseas communications at Kia Motors Corporation. Created by DreamWorks Animation and Kia Motors’ advertising agency Innocean Worldwide in collaboration with The Croods’ filmmakers, “Meet the Carens” takes viewers on a Carens powered getaway ride with the Croods as they escape the wrath of a Bearowl, one of many imaginative creatures featured in the film. For music fans, the video features a re-mix of “Shine Your Way” by Owl City which is an original song composed for The Croods. “The Croods whisks audiences away on the world’s first family road trip, and the Kia Carens is the perfect vehicle to take families on adventures of their own,” said Sheila Clarke, DreamWorks Animation’s Head of Global Promotions. “The ‘Meet the Carens’ campaign takes a playful and innovate approach to conveying both companies’ message of family and fun.” Apart from the online custom video, Kia will unveil a 30-second TV spot in celebration of “The Carens and The Croods” campaign. The spot was designed to look and feel similar to the world of the “The Croods” and will make its broadcast debut closer to the Carens’ sales launch. A 60-second spot will also run in theaters across markets where the Carens is sold. Once live, both spots will be available on Kia Motors YouTube channel. *The all-new Kia Carens will be available in Canada (where it is known as the Kia Rondo), Europe, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Asia, the Pacific, Middle East and Africa.
