2012 Kia-KV7 Concept

After two teaser shots and a couple of leaked images earlier today, Kia’s “activity MPV” concept, the KV7, finally hit the showroom floor at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show.Designed to challenge the notion that minivans are strictly for transporting people, the KV7 stands out with its boxy design and, according to the Koreans, also wants to serve as a “connected social hub for groups of friends and adventure-seekers”.

“From the outset, we felt the category was in need of an honest reassessment due to the fact that everyone seems so desperate to attach the word “sporty” to their MPV even though MPVs, at their very core, are simply a box”, said Tom Kearns, Chief Designer, Kia Motors America. “Rather than reject the box we chose to celebrate it, just like we did with the Soul, and the result is a straightforward yet sophisticated vehicle that retains the functionality MPVs are known for and meets the changing and diverse needs of today’s consumers”.

the new Kia Picanto will be offered in both 5-door

Details are scarce right now, but the automaker claims the car has grown in length and has a longer wheelbase, which should improve interior space. Unlike the outgoing model which is available exclusively as a five-door hatchback, the new Picanto will be offered in both 5-door and 3-door body styles (at least in Europe).

These Cheap Kia are excellent quality cars such as the compact Kia Picanto, which gets excellent gas mileage and offers the safety of ABS and EBD braking systems to the luxurious Sorento SUV, which offers standard features such as Bluetooth and Sirius radio as well as a CD/MP3 sound system. Another choice is the family oriented mini-van, Sedona, which offers side curtain airbags, remote central locking and multi-zone air conditioning to keep the passengers in all seven seats comfortable for the duration of the ride, however long it may be.

2011 The compact Kia Picanto

Following the release of two teaser sketches in December, Kia today published real-life photos of its second generation Picanto city car, which is set to debut at this year’s Geneva Motor Show in March. The 2011 Picanto will be offered in two body styles and with four all-new engines.

Many people are under the impression that they cannot afford a car, let alone a brand new car. However, it is possible for anyone with almost any budget to be able to afford a brand new Cheap Kia. These vehicles are cheap in price only, not in quality or safety features. It is possible to find a brand new car at thousands less than the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price.

Press Release

Next generation Kia Picanto - a design that's small but grown-up

• Kia releases first official photos of 'mature' and 'sculpted' new model
• Next generation offered in two body styles with four all-new powertrains
• Production vehicle to be revealed at 2011 Geneva Motor Show

(SEOUL) January 4, 2011 - Kia Motors Corporation has released the first official photos of the next generation Picanto city car, which now offers a bolder, more mature and more self confident look.

Completely redesigned and re-engineered, the new car has grown in overall length and wheelbase and is set to redefine its position as one of the most competitive vehicles in its segment.

Kia's Chief Design Officer, Peter Schreyer, said, "In profile, new Picanto features significant sculpting and a very prominent rising character line. The result is a layering of light and shadow and this breaks up the height, giving the car a more sure-footed stance."

Picanto has never been sold in Australia but Kia Motors Australia has not shut the door on the latest generation.

"While there are no immediate plans to bring Picanto to Australia we have been, and will continue, to look at opportunities in areas in which we do not currently compete," Kia Motors Australia Chief Operating Officer, Mr Tony Barlow, said. "The Picanto now has the advantage of being an all-new car and if it makes sense as a business case then it is certainly not off the agenda."

While the current Picanto is available only as a five-door hatchback, the new generation version will be offered as a five-door globally while a sportier three-door body style will also be marketed in Europe.

The new Picanto will feature four all-new powertrains in 1.0- and 1.2-litre displacements, all boasting class leading CO2 emissions levels. In addition to petrol engines, LPG bi-fuel and flex fuel variations will be available depending on market.

The next generation Picanto will be officially unveiled at the Geneva International Motor Show in March when further technical specifications will be available.

2011 Kia Sedona LX LWB pictures,Photos and images

The 2011 Kia Sedona is powered by a 271-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 engine, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with Sportmatic manual control.The Sedona's interior configuration really makes the most of the available space, with three rows of seating and space for up to seven. Second-row captain's chairs are removable and the 60/40-split third-row seat folds fully into the floor to make available a flat cargo area. A 50/50-split removable third-row seat completes the seating for seven. The Sedona comes with sliding doors on both sides.The Sedona offers good acceleration, even with a full load, thanks to the torquey character of the V6 engine. Properly equipped, the Sedona can tow up to 3,500 lb. A 4-wheel independent suspension employs MacPherson struts in front and a multi-link design in back, with stabilizer bars front and back. The Sedona handles surprisingly well. As with most minivans, it steers and maneuvers much more like a sedan than a van.

2011 Kia Pro_Cee’d

Kia recently released the first official images of the refreshed Pro_cee’d hatchback. To be unveiled at next year’s Geneva Motor Show in March.

A handful of images of the facelifted Kia Pro_Cee’d have managed to find their way to the internet via Kia World. The Kia Pro_Cee’d with communal H-shaped grille make an appearance on the model for the first time, and new, aggressive fog-light insets help give the vehicle a little more personality, too.

The three-door configuration will be also powered by a new 1.6-liter four-cylinder diesel engine, according to a report by kia-world.net, which develops a maximum of 128 horsepower and 255 Nm of torque.

New headlamps, a wider bumper accommodates larger air intakes , changes that will traverse the 5-door and SW models, in terms of the engines is expected to update the current engines that will meet Euro 5 emission standard. We enjoyed the first image as more data arrive.

But the aesthetics aren’t the only thing on that’s changed on the punctuation-laden Pro_Cee’d. Kia World also suggests that the Kia will now come with a slightly warmed-over diesel engine under its hood. The new lump is expected to churn out 128 horsepower and 188 pound-feet of torque from 1.6-liters of displacement.

2011 do Kia Sportage

Antes de entrar no Sportage é preciso ressaltar que, além de mais baixo, ele está mais próximo do chão: são 17,2 cm de altura livre do solo, ante os antigos 19,5 cm. Em compensação, ele cresceu 9 cm em comprimento (4,44 m), 15 cm em largura (1,85 m) e 10 cm de entre-eixos (2,64 m). Na lateral, os vidros estreitos acompanham a linha de cintura elevada, deixando o utilitário com ar esportivo. Mas isso gera um inconveniente para quem tem estatura de mediana a baixa: acomodado no banco da frente, o ocupante se sentirá de volta à infância, já que o assento não tem regulagem de altura. O visual da traseira é clean, com lanternas horizontais. “A intenção era chegar a um desenho moderno e limpo, feito para durar mais tempo e ter apelo junto a um público mais jovem”, diz Enrique Giner, gerente de design do centro de estilo da Kia na Califórnia.

O objetivo foi atingido, e o design ainda acumula a função de diferenciar o Sportage de seu irmão de grupo, oHyundai ix35. Apesar de compartilharem a plataforma e a maioria dos componentes, ambos têm acertos distintos. A começar pelo posicionamento na tabela de preços. Enquanto o ix35 custa a partir de R$ 88 mil, oSportage chegará às revendas após o Salão do Automóvel, em outubro, com preço inicial estimado em R$ 75 mil.

 

A versão de entrada terá câmbio manual de cinco marchas ou automático de seis. De série, contará com ar-condicionado, airbag duplo, rack no teto, sensor de estacionamento, acendimento automático de faróis, alarme, controle remoto para abertura das portas e entradas iPod/USB. A intermediária virá com as mesmas opções de câmbio, mas o automático poderá receber tração 4x4. Além dos itens acima, terá retrovisor com pisca integrado, rodas de liga leve aro 18, chave inteligente, bancos com revestimento de couro, ajuste elétrico do assento do motorista e controle de estabilidade. Por fim, a topo de linha automática (como a testada) soma aos equipamentos de fábrica airbags laterais e de cortina, teto solar elétrico e retrovisor interno com câmera de ré. Vai custar cerca de R$ 100 mil.

Agora, “simbora” para o interior. Calma, ainda não vamos falar da cabine. Vamos é para a pista de testes em Tatuí (SP). No caminho exploramos as respostas do motor 2.0 16V com comando de válvulas variável, 166 cv e 20,1 kgfm – um aumento de 24 cv e 1,3 kgfm, respectivamente, em relação ao Sportage que está nas ruas. A potência teve ganho significativo, ao contrário do torque. O desempenho geral melhorou, graças, também, ao novo (e suave) câmbio automático de seis velocidades. Só que basta uma subida para o Sportage se cansar e reduzir marchas rapidinho. O motor não grita como antes. Mas, nas retomadas, ele perde a serenidade que tem a 120 km/h com o conta-giros em apenas 2.500 rpm.

Console central é estiloso e interior segue a fórmula do visual externo, com linhas limpas. Iluminação em vermelho agrada

A versão 2.4 16V, que Autoesporte teve oportunidade de avaliar em São Francisco (EUA), é a ideal. Com 177 cv, seu torque nem é tão superior (23,1 kgfm), mas aparece um pouco mais cedo, a 4.000 rpm em vez de 4.600 rpm. Contudo, ela não virá ao Brasil. A novidade aqui será o 2.0 16V flex, no segundo semestre de 2011. Apesar desse pênalti no torque, o utilitário anda bem – foi um pouco melhor que o ix35 nas provas dinâmicas. Caso o motorista se empolgue e entre com vigor nas curvas, será surpreendido pela intrusiva ação do controle de estabilidade, que traz o carro para dentro da curva. O comportamento arisco é oposto ao da suspensão. Independente nos dois eixos, com estrutura McPherson na frente e multibraços atrás, ela privilegia o conforto e absorve bem as imperfeições da pista – embora seja firme o suficiente para transmitir confiança em trechos sinuosos. Como tem curso pequeno, ela bate com relativa facilidade quando se troca o asfalto pela estrada de terra. Mas não afeta o bem-estar ao volante.

Para esticar o passeio no off-road leve, não há dificuldades, já que os ângulos de entrada (28,1°) e saída (28,2°) são satisfatórios. Além disso, na versão 4WD testada há controles de descida e tração. Numa ladeira de terra, o primeiro manteve o veículo abaixo de 10 km/h. Sem ele, a velocidade atingiu 40 km/h na mesma condição. Em situações de pouca aderência, você pode bloquear o diferencial central (por um botão no painel), deixando a divisão de torque em 50% para cada eixo.

Porta-malas cede espaço sob o assoalho para o estepe, banco traseiro é bipartido

Agora, sim, chegamos ao interior do Sportage. Os acabamentos são benfeitos e contam com materiais agradáveis ao toque. O espaço é amplo, até em função da esticada que a carroceria recebeu. No banco de trás, o túnel central não chega a ser plano, mas afeta pouco o espaço para pernas, garantindo boa acomodação aos passageiros. O motorista também viaja com conforto, e encontra boa posição para dirigir, apesar da falta de ajuste de profundidade do volante – que, aliás, tem ótima pegada, com encaixe perfeito para os polegares. O que o condutor pode estranhar um pouco é o freio de estacionamento no pé (nas configurações automáticas) e o vidro traseiro pequeno. Depois de conhecer melhor o novo Sportage, fica ainda mais difícil o exercício de se lembrar do anterior, não é? Relaxe. No jogo da memória, o modelo atual é que promete ficar marcado na sua lembrança.

2011 Kia Sportage Images

How did Kia maintain to come to be one of the most smoking looking decisions in the crossover business? The fresh out of the plastic new Sportage is a stopped leap send in terms of outside styling and, thankfully, the open motors once again down the handsome brand new sheet metal. A 176 bhp 2. 4 liter 4 barrel and 2. 0 liter turbocharged four are unoccupied, and both go with a 6 speed programmed transmission a 6 speed manual is ready just on the base model. Possibly motor may be had with front or all wheel drive. No picnic to think, but the 2. 4 liter 4 barrel is as a matter of fact more influential than the 2. 7 liter V 6 found in the past Sportage.
