WARDSAUTO NAMES ALL-NEW 2014 KIA FORTE TO LIST OF “10 BEST INTERIORS”



 Kia Motors America (KMA), one of the fastest growing car companies in the last five years2, has garnered yet another accolade with the all-new Kia Forte being named to WardsAuto’s list of “10 Best Interiors of 2013.” The stylish Forte stood out for combining premium features, high-quality materials and a sophisticated design at the lowest base price in the compact-car segment
.
“The all-new Forte is designed to bring our customers European-influenced styling and premium amenities found more commonly in larger sedans,” said Michael Sprague, executive vice president of marketing & communications, KMA. “WardsAuto’s recognition of the 2014 Forte’s interior as being among the best in the industry is strong evidence of the significant enhancements we’ve made to the new generation of this already-popular product. With the lowest base price in the segment, the 2014 Forte aptly advances Kia’s well-known value proposition to new levels of sophistication.”

WardsAuto named the Forte to their list of “10 Best Interiors” based on combination of technology, comfort, amenities and stylish elements. The 2014 Forte is offered in two trims and comes standard with steering wheel-mounted audio controls, SiriusXM™ Satellite Radio3 and Bluetooth® wireless technology4. Designed at Kia’s American design center in California, the Forte’s cabin has chrome accents, high quality soft-touch materials and large, easy to read, instruments.

“The Kia Forte demonstrates how far compact-car interiors have come in a short time,” said WardsAuto World executive editor Tom Murphy. “Starting at $15,9005, the Forte has the lowest base price in the segment. And yet it delivers premium features – from a straightforward and intuitive communication system to the brilliant door trim resembling the layered gills of a shark – that are sure to surprise and delight car shoppers.”

About the 2014 Forte
Available in LX and EX trims, the all-new Forte sedan is arriving in retail showrooms now and will be followed later in the year by 5-door and two-door Koup variants. Sitting on an all-new chassis that is longer, wider and lower than its predecessor, the all-new Forte will offer more room, more fun-to-drive performance, new cutting edge technology, several premium amenities and a choice of an efficient 1.8-liter engine (LX) or a more powerful 2.0-liter engine (EX). With an aggressive stance and broad shoulders, the all-new Forte’s modern aesthetic was influenced by European sport sedan styling and penned at Kia’s U.S. design studio in Irvine, Calif. Optional FlexSteer™ technology puts the driver firmly in control with a choice of three settings – Comfort, Normal and Sport – which vary steering feel and effort at the touch of a button.

Kia's March Sales Help Company Reach Landmark First Quarter












With the world debut of three new Kia vehicles at the New York International Auto Show last month, March was a great segment for Kia Motors, as it helped boost first quarter sales to the second highest in company history.

Led by the Kia Optima midsize sedan for the 16th consecutive month with more than 14,000 total sales, Kia's exceptional month also was helped by the Kia Sorento CUV and Kia Soul. These top-selling Kia vehicles, as well as a number of Volkswagen cars, also are available at Park Place Motor Cars in Rochester, MN at CarBuyersExpress.com, which also hosts inventories from elite dealerships like Ballweg Midwest Toyota in La Crosse, WI.

Despite the successful first quarter, Kia does not intend to have a quiet rest of the year. Set to deliver seven all new or completely redesigned vehicles in 2013, Kia plans to continue reinventing and improving its series of vehicles to create the best possible selection for its customers.  Among the new vehicles set to release are the 2014 Kia Soul, 2014 Kia Koup and updated 2014 Kia Optima, while the 2014 Kia Forte Sedan and Cadenza will reach dealerships soon.

Kia Motors is one of the fastest growing automotive brands in the United States. Focusing on quality, innovation, value, and technology, Kia continues to make a lasting impression on U.S. car customers. As one of three automotive brands to increase sales in each of the past four years, Kia continues to deliver a series of fun-to-drive vehicles centered on value and performance.

Maintenance Tip Monday


Bodywork / paint

Keeping your paint finish in good condition

Only choose superior car detailing supplies to keep your car's interior and exterior like new. There are plenty of decent quality waxes and polishes on the market today and if the last time you waxed or polished your car was over a decade ago, things have changed considerably since then. The wax and polish compounds are far more sophisticated both in terms of protection from fading, the look of the finish, and the ease of application. For example Turtle Wax Ice gets rid of that old problem of white wax residue. Is a clean car a vanity thing? Partly, yes, but if you park under a tree where birds help repaint your car with recycled blueberries, that guck will come off a lot easier if it falls on a waxed paint job.
Tip: If you find a bird has pooped on your car, wash it off as quick as you can. There are compounds in bird waste that can damage most car paint jobs. If you leave it in the sun and the poop bakes on, you could end up with a dull spot in the paint.
Also: If you want to show your support for a cause, car magnets are better than bumper stickers. They don't damage the paint and are easy to move around and ultimately remove when the fad has passed.

Kia Concept Car Can Monitor a Driver's Health

Revealed at the 2013 Seoul Motor Show, Kia’s CUB Concept is a five door compact vehicle aimed at ‘trend-setting urban dwellers’. President and Chief Design Officer, Peter Schreyer worked with the design staff at the Seoul studio on the project that is kind of styling mashup of their current Rio and GT Concept.
kia_cub_concept_4
The sporty character of the car is emphasized through the use of long, low shapes. Kia’s signature ‘tiger nose’ grille has been squished to nearly a slot on the front end. The lower front and rear fascia have a matching thin to thick graphic treatment accentuating the vehicle’s width. The lower bodyside incorporates aerodynamic panels similar to the barge boards found on Formula One race cars that help smooth airflow around the vehicle.
kia_cub_concept_8
The interior is driver focused and controls and fussy details are kept to a minimum. The instrument panel is made up of two large gauges Kia says were ‘inspired by the eyes of a wild animal.’
An interesting technology feature is a sensor strip integrated into the steering wheel which monitors the drivers biorhythms. Kia doesn’t go into any further details about what this might do, but consider if the car could adjust settings to provide a more comfortable ride/interior environment if the drivers heart rate were elevated due to stress.
Kia says there are no plans for production of the CUB but we wouldn’t rule out the next generation Rio incorporating some of these styling elements.
