The Hyundai Elantra and Accent, along with the Kia Cerato (badged as the Forte) are about to be tweaked in the US with a series of [...]
DESPITE WHAT its name might suggest, Adult Swim isn’t a porn channel (sorry to disappoint). Adult Swim is a TV network in the United States that shares its channel space with Cartoon Network, and like its partner, it focuses on cartoons but with an edgier, more teen and adult-oriented style.
Kia Motors in America recently teamed [...]
JUST AS KIA Australia Public Relations Manager Jonathan Fletcher predicted at the Australian launch of the 2009 Kia Soul, the Korean manufacturer’s funky new small car has achieved top honours in its Euro NCAP safety testing.

With the recent unveiling of the 2010 Kia Sorento at the 2009 Seoul Motor Show, it’s clear that the plan of attack for the Korean automaker is “more for less” – an approach similar to its Hyundai sibling (and Japanese manufacturers decades before).
The sharp styling of the all-new Sorento will be accompanied by a range [...]
For the Shanghai Auto Show, Kia has decided that you can have your cake and eat it too. Now, being green no longer means losing your sense of individuality and the Kia SOUL Hybrid shown at Shanghai is out to prove it.
Kia’s boxy new hybrid disposes of the wind-cheating shape of the likes of Honda’s [...]
Kia has been working hard at making the SOUL into something of a cultural or fashion icon. And with all of its trendy accessories, colours and graphics options, it’s well on its way to carving just such a niche.
To help reinforce that image in the minds of its potential owners, the Korean carmaker has gone [...]
The lads at CarScoop have put together this short video of the 2010 Kia Forte Koup’s unveilling (to be sold locally as the Kia Cerato Koup) at the 2009 New York Motor Show.

Despite Kia’s modest expectations of only 400 Kia SOUL sales for the remainder of the year in Australia, the trendy little CUV is running out the doors of European dealerships, with 5000 units already sold – 13 percent more than Kia’s forecasts.
While the European market gets the same 1.6 litre petrol and diesel engines as [...]

For the 2009 New York Auto Show, Kia has pulled the covers off a production version of its KOUP concept. The production version, [...]
In 2009, Kia’s slogan “The Power to Surprise” could not be truer. Official images and spy photos are popping up everywhere for stylish new models from the Korean automaker, and the company is even investigating a new, trendier naming system for its vehicles.
Little surprise then that Kia is pushing the 2009 SOUL with so much [...]
Korean cars have been improving in leaps and bounds in the last few years and it was high time the Kia Sorento came in for some work.
We don’t mind the look of the new Kia Sorento. It also has a long feature list and you bank on it being priced competitively.

After plenty of spy pictures and teaser illustrations, Kia has officially unveiled the 2010 model Sorento at the Seoul Motor Show, along with specifications on the latest CUV from the Korean marque.
The body-on-frame construction of the existing model has been given the boot, replaced by ’unibody architecture’… that’s monocoque construction to you and me. Inside there [...]
With the unveilling of the Kia VG Concept, it’s safe to say Kia’s new design boss and former VW/Audi designer Peter Schreyer has truly arrived.

Kia’s attractive 2010 Sorento is nearly among us, and now, thanks to our good pal Mr Burlapp, we can scope out its freshened-up interior.

With the April 2 start date of the Seoul Motor Show mere days away, there’s already set to be a few cars worth a genuine lookover. Now, Kia is adding one more pre-production concept to the list.
Built on the Hyundai Azera platform – sold locally as the Hyundai Grandeur – the Kia VG Concept is expected [...]
Think Rondo is no longer the stylish name it was? Does Magentis remind you of those magnetised bedsheets your granny always raves about?
Apparently Kia shares your concerns, and is investigating how best to revamp its model naming system to appeal to a wider (ie: under 40 year-old) audience.
The new Soul and Forte (aka Cerato) are [...]
Those Koreans sure are quick at playing catchup. Recent ‘leaps and bounds’ in quality, performance and economy have seen the likes of Hyundai and Kia rocket to the top of car buyers’ shopping lists.

Unveiled to the media in Korea, the Kia Forte [...]

Last month, Kia gave the world an illustrated glimpse at the all-new 2010 Kia Sorento. Now, with the first official photo surfacing online, it looks safe to say that the illustrations we’d seen previously were bang-on.
Unfortunately, the new photo is about all we’re getting for now. No technical information has been revealed as yet, but [...]
There’s going to be an awful lot of people coming to the Motor Show this year, and, keeping this in mind, Kia has decided to show its best effort at shifting an awful lot of people.
