Kia Stronger than Ever

Gaining steam
The international car giant Kia was once just a humble bicycle parts manufacturer in South Korea. Now, just use a
Kia dealer locator to see one of the many
dealerships across the US and the world.
If you do use a
Kia dealer locator
and check out a Kia car lot, you will not see quite as many models as many other car makers around. However, the cars that Kia
does produce are nothing short of some of the best new car sales you can find. Kia is perhaps best suited at making their affordable and fuel efficient smaller
vehicles, but they also have two crossover SUV models that also get great fuel economy for their class.
Kia's MVPs
Kia is determined to compete in every class for the
best new car sales
. The redesign of their Kia Optima just last year solidified themselves as one of the top
contenders for capable and stylish vehicles. The
2012 Kia Optima
even has a hybrid model out, which is arguably the most stylish hybrid money can buy. Its fuel
economy can not compare to other higher end hybrids however.
Kia has two very low priced small cars out, the
2012 Kia Rio
and the 2012 Kia Soul. Both starting at less than $14,000, they both get very good gas mileage,
with 30 city / 40 highway mpg for the Rio and 29 city / 36 highway mpg for the Soul. The Rio is more of a standard small car, with distinct Kia elements. The
Soul has a very unique and quirky look and feel, but the hatchback fits some drivers like a glove.
With a new luxury sedan flagship model set to release in South Korea, Kia looks to expand its brand even further. Code named the K9, this cutting edge new car
looks to take over the reigns from the Kia Optima as the big name Kia vehicle. Speculated to be a rear wheel drive vehicle with an 8 or 10 speed transmission,
this new sedan will be the most technologically advanced luxury model Kia has ever offered.
Although it is only confirmed for a South Korean launch, this new car could see an international launch as early as this year. Kia as a whole appears to be
heading no where but up. The vehicles are getting better and better, while amazingly the prices are getting lower.
