New sketches of the forthcoming 2011 Magentis four-door coupe have been released. The 2011 Magentis, which bears the US moniker Optima, is set to be officially unveiled at the 2010 New York Auto Show.

The current flagship sedan for the Korean automaker, the Kia Optima, is fairly tame. That is why Kia is replacing its sedan with a much sportier silhouette. The 2011 Kia Optima will then be labeled as a four-door coupe rather than a sedan.

The Optima will also be using the same engines as the 2011 Sonata and will also be offered in four and six-cylinder versions. The four-cylinder version will be a 2.4 liter that can put out…

Kia has announced that its Borrego model will not be having a new model for this year in the markets other than Korea.

The sad news may be rooted to its late 2008 introduction—which coincided with the $4 gas and the general collapse of the auto industry. Kia targeted 20,000 US sales for the Borrego, but due to the circumstantial events, only about half of that number was obtained.

The Borrego however fared well in its home market, marketed under the Mohave nameplate. As such, Kia will likely come out with a 2010 Borrego model solely for the Korean market.

Kia is still hoping though that the Borrego will only take a short…

KIA has just launched its rethought and redesigned Sorento. The company’s second generation ‘ute has now moved with modern times with the shift from a traditional body on frame construction and a choice of two or all-wheel-drive.

KIA offers two engine choices for the 2011 Sorento. The standard model comes with a 2.4 Liter inline 4-cylinder. With power output of 172 horsepower and 166 pound feet of torque. The other engine option would be a 3.5 Liter V6 with 273 horsepower and torque of 247 pound feet. Both engines are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with Sportmatic auto stick functions.

The 2011 Sorento also features a smartkey setup that either plugs…

Since its 2009 New York Auto Show debut, Kia has finally released the prices for its 2010 Forte Koup. The prices will start at $16,595 for a manually equipped EX mode, if you want the optional automatic gear box you have to shell out $17,595. The higher level SX model will retail from $17,695, with an addition of an automatic gearbox adding another $1000 to the price. And that still does not include the $695 destination charge.

The 2010 Forte Koup will hit the US market this summer and will come in two versions the base EX and up-level SX. The Ex will have 16 inch wheels and a 2.0-liter four-cylinder…

Watch out for the new Kia Sorento which will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.  This all new seven-seater car is of course longer but lower than the current model.  Kia incorporates an exceptional design including a roomy and lavish cabin.

The 4,685 mm long SUV is notably sleeker than the previous model with an aerodynamic drag figure of Cd 0.38 - down from 0.43.  The most prevalent engine choice in Europe is probably the all-new 2.2-litre diesel unit from Kia’s ultra-modern ‘R’ family of engines.

“With the new Kia Sorento, we have created an all-new, ‘Highline Cruiser’ that we believe offers buyers the benefits of an exciting all-rounder…

If you were in the Los Angeles Auto Show last year then you must have seen the 2010 Kia Soul on display. This same model is being sold in the United States now at a base price of only $13.995 which already includes the $695 destination charge. The Soul is specifically earmarked for the young car buyers who are looking for more than an economy car. The 2010 Kia Soul was originally a concept vehicle shown in the 2006 NAIAS in Detroit. The production version of that concept has four trims namely Soul, Soul+, Soul! And Soul Sport.

Now that you’re over the tricky names of the 2010 Kia Soul just…
