Kia is Still the Best in the Business

It is hard to believe it has been seven years since Kia revolutionized the new car warranty by extending manufacturer protection for owners to seven years.

Kia is not scared to push the envelope with sleek futuristic looking crossover concepts and they delivered again.  The “urban hybrid vehicle” is the third hybrid or electric vehicle on Kia’s stage. Robust performance and an upscale personality, making it a truly attractive and well-rounded hybrid offer.

Butterfly style doors swing open toward the roof revealing a four passenger cabin.  The molded one piece front seats are covered in an Orbit Silver quilted fabric and the backseat is a 50/50 split bench that can fold down flat for a carbon fiber lined cargo floor.  It has a large screen that sits in the middle of the dash displaying the live images from the video cameras.

The engine is a version of Kia’s turbocharged 1.6 liter engine making 160 HP in this model.  It is paired with a seven speed dual clutch transmission that drives the front wheels.  Kia says an electric hybrid system is capable of delivering up to 45 HP to the rear wheels.  The looks are astonishing and futuristic, yet inviting.  I can’t wait to see one in person.
