Capitol Kia is proud of what Kia stands for

Kia has been busy for the past few months.  They have had a high level of community and national involvement and visibility, making them an industry leader among customers.

Capitol Kia is proud to be a part of such a socially aware company and has full respect for their accomplishments.

At the top of their list of newsworthy recognition is the promotion of Mr. Byung Mo Ahn.  He has been named Group Vice Chairman and CEO of Kia Motors America (KMA) and Kia Motors Manufacturing (KMMG).  Capitol Kia, as well as all of the Kia dealerships nationwide offers congratulations to him.

Another accomplishment is the retailing of the first K900 in the U.S.  The K900 signals a new era for the Kia brand and is rapidly attracting more affluent customers into Kia showrooms.

Lastly, Kia and the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) hosted Kia Classic Media Day on March 3, 2014 at Aviara Golf Club where media engaged with Kia executives and LPGA leadership throughout the day.  Also, 144 players will compete for a $1.7 million purse when the fifth annual Kia Classic tees off on March 27.  The winner will receive a check for $255,000 and drive off in an all-new 2015 Kia K900.

2014 Kia Sorento: The Perfect Crossover

The new 2014 Kia Sorento is a beautiful crossover with a great design, excellent fit and finish, and good driving dynamics in a segment that often has none of these things.  It has an answer for everything.  It is roomy, fuel-efficient and tech savvy.

 Kia has emerged as a game changer in the midsized crossover market.  It has become the benchmark in this segment of the market place.  It has a beautiful and ergonomic interior and a great set of power options under the hood.  One of my favorite features is the panoramic sunroof that runs from the drivers head all the way back past the second row with just a small cross piece splitting it.  It is definitely one of those things you have to see and experience for yourself to realize the true beauty of it.

The connectivity is another great addition.  It has a very well designed driver’s space with easy access controls and one of the best things Kia has come up with, selectable steering modes.  It allows you to adjust the steering feel, on the fly, to suit your wishes – Sport for stiffer, more responsive steering; Normal for an everyday average feel; and Comfort for a relaxed, easy feel on the highway.  It also has electric assist so these selections are immediate and at your fingertips with a push of a button on the wheel.  

For more information on the ultimate crossover, come see us at Capital Kia 13573 U.S. Hwy 183 N. Austin, Texas or give us a call at 512-583-1900 today!

2014 Kia Forte is Amazing

Critics are raving and saying that this is the most fun car to come from any Korean automaker.  The new and improved build of the outer body gives a sportier look for this four-door model. This coup trumps the sedan with its base 173-horsepower and 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine.  This coupled with the six-speed manual transmission makes this a fun yet sporty compliment to the Kia line of cars.

 The new Kia Forte looks poised to go head to head with the Honda Civic Si.  Style has remained as a strong suit for the forte.  It shares many of the same curves with its sedan counterpart.  The rest is unique to the sportier models, including its slimmer, smaller tiger nose grille that evolves the look.

It has plenty of soft touch materials with more features than you would find in a loaded Mercedes-Benz E class from a decade ago.  It is expansive and comfortable.  The shifter, which has a small round handle that easily fits in the hand, corrects issues from the past.  Overall it has better than average materials and built above the quality normally seen in the past.

Standard features include Xenon headlights, LED tail lights, heated steering wheel, power folding mirrors and keyless entry with options such as power leather seats with heating and cooling elements.  

The 2014 Kia Forte balances out luxury comfort and convenience with driver involvement and fun.  Like every newly designed Kia coming out this year, the improvements have been significant and welcomed.

Come see the improvements to this and the many Kia’s in inventory at Capitol KIA.  Visit our showroom at 13573 U.S. Highway 183 N. in Austin, Texas or give us a call at 512-583-1900 today!
