My wife and I originally showed up looking to buy a used vehicle. After the test drive, we decided it wasn't really what we were looking for. Then we decided to test out a Sportage, and my wife liked it immediately. The bonus here was that we didn't feel pressured at all. It was about as enjoyable experience as you can have, spending that amount of money. As far as the vehicle goes, it is pretty comfortable to drive, even considering that I am 6'4". There seems to be a fair amount of features on the base AWD model we bought, but one important one we think of as a standard feature, is mirror defrosters, and they weren't included. Highway noise seems to be a little louder than we are used to, but all in all, we're quite pleased with the bang for the buck we got with our Sportage.

My wife and I bought our 2012 Kia Soul in November of 2011. We were impressed with the low-key, no pressure sales approach. The new owners' dinner was a special treat where we met the people who run the sales and service department, and they genuinely seemed to value our business. I was disappointed in the mileage of the Soul because it didn't measure up to expected standards. This year the company acknowledged a mistake in the written standards and will compensate us financially for the the lower than expected mileage. The company is willing to acknowledge a mistake and compensate us. They seem to want our business and treat us kindly. The vehicle is a good one.

Kia chairman says brand will compete with luxury companies by 2017

For the past decade, Hyundai’s main goal has been to get its Korean brand becoming a serious competitor among luxury brands like BMW, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz – well, it has really happened. Apparently, it’s Kia’s turn now- a brand owned by Hyundai.

According to Kia’s vice chairman Hyoung-Keun Lee, the automaker will become a premium global player over the next five years. He says that Kia’s lineup will eventually be on the same level in terms of style and sophistication as the top luxury German and Japanese brands.

Like Hyundai’s Equus, Kia offers a premium luxury vehicle called the K9 in Korea. The large luxury sedan will be making its way to the United States in 2014 under the ‘Quoris‘ name. Prices are expected to start around the $50,000 mark.

2012 LA: 2014 Kia Sorento gets redesigned, first model to get UVO infotainment system

Along with the 2014 Kia Forte, the Korean brand also showed off its redesigned Sorento CUV. While the new 2014 Kia Sorento may seem like a facelift, the model is quite different boasting an all-new chassis, a new Gasoline Direct Injected (GDI) V6 engine, a redesigned interior and the brand’s new infotainment system – UVO.

“With each new vehicle launch Kia is advancing the concept of value to new levels of sophistication and with significant chassis, suspension, powertrain and comfort and convenience upgrades the new Sorento continues that trend,” said Michael Sprague, executive vice president, marketing and communications, KMA. “With more than 80 percent of the 2014 Sorento including new or significantly redesigned parts, it’s obvious that the improvements are not just skin deep; including technological enhancements such as UVO eServices, the next generation of our voice activated telematics system, and Kia’s first-ever blind spot detection system.”

Power for the 2014 Kia Sorento comes from either a 2.4 liter 4-cylinder engine (standard on the LX and EX) making 191-hp and 181 lb-ft of torque. The 3.3 liter GDI V6 is available optionally on the LX and EX but is standard on the LX V6, EX V6, SX and SX Limited. The V6 produces 290-hp and 252 lb-ft of torque.

 

The inside redesign is pretty significant in terms of improved quality and new standard features. The 2014 Kia Sorento is also the first model by the brand to receive the company’s UVO eServices Infotainment System with Voice Command Navigation.

“UVO was a breakthrough for Kia, and signaled the brand’s ambitious plans to become an in-vehicle technology leader by enabling drivers and passengers to use all of their personal technologies more safely and easily, while creating additional entertainment experiences,” said Henry Bzeih, head of the connected car program and chief technology strategist, KMA.

Last but not least, the 2014 Sorento gets an SX Limited model, which will feature a bunch of bells and whistles and will be top-of-the-line trim-level for the model.
