  • 2019 Kia Stinger GTS, 2019 New York International Auto Show
    2020 Kia Stinger GTS coming to punish more tires with new AWD hardware, Drift mode

    The Kia Stinger's arrival two years ago vaulted the South Korean automaker into the performance realm with its potent turbocharged engine and capable chassis partly developed at the Nürburgring Nodrschleife. The 2020 Kia Stinger GTS that arrived Wednesday at the 2019 New York International...

  • Kia Habaniro Concept, 2019 New York International Auto Show
    Hot and spicy: Kia serves up Habaniro electric crossover concept in New York

    Kia envisions a future where electric cars aren't appliances, but instead, they're a do-it-all kind of vehicle. The Kia HabaNiro concept aims to be just that, and in fact, the brand even coined a new term for the concept car: the "ECEV," or "everything car electric vehicle." The HabaNiro concept...

  • Kia Habaniro concept leaked
    Kia Habaniro concept to spice up the New York auto show

    It appears Kia's surprise debut for the 2019 New York International Auto Show has been spoiled. The South Korean brand plans to show off the Habaniro concept at the upcoming show and a photo has dropped ahead of time. The sole low-quality image of the Habaniro comes from a New York show newsletter...

    Kia on Tuesday unveiled the Imagine by Kia concept car at the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show, and said the tiny runabout was all about making the mundane fun. The concept imagines an electric commuter car that combines elements of an SUV, a sedan and even a sporty coupe. As Kia puts it, the...

    Kia is working on a new SUV, and this one could be a rugged off-roader coming to take on the soon-to-be-revived Ford Bronco and the Jeep Wrangler stalwart. The Korean firm has just launched the Telluride in the full-size crossover SUV segment, but our latest spy shots show engineers testing a mid-size model that bears a design clearly cribbed from the Telluride. It's possible we're looking at an early tester for a redesigned Kia Mohave, a vehicle that was briefly sold here as the Kia Borrego late last decade. If the new SUV reaches the United States, we'll likely see it arrive as a 2021...

  • 2020 Kia Telluride, 2019 Detroit auto show
    Kia could add off-road trim to full-size Telluride SUV

    Kia's group of conceptual Telluride crossover SUVs shown at the 2018 SEMA show may influence an off-road-inspired version of the new full-size family hauler. Following the model's debut on Monday at the 2019 North American International Auto Show, Motor Trend reported that Kia could introduce an...

    Kia concept for 2019 CES previews a world with self-driving cars

    Much of the focus on self-driving cars, naturally, has centered on the driving technology, however, the future user experience that a fully automated car can potentially deliver should also be looked at. Kia is aware of this and will preview just such a future with its READ (Real-time Emotion...

  • 2021 Kia Soul EV
    2020 Kia Soul shocks at LA Auto Show, EV option revealed with 64-kwh battery

    A new generation of the Kia Soul was revealed on Wednesday at the 2018 Los Angeles auto show, and thankfully the funky look we've grown accustomed to with past versions of the Kia compact crossover SUV have been retained. The boxy shape was first shown in 2006 on a Soul concept car and today is...

  • 2019 Kia K900

    The 2019 Kia K900 will do its best to sway buyers away from established luxury marques with a $60,895 base price, including the destination charge. That's about $10,000 more than a previous-generation K900 cost. However, we found the second-generation K900 much improved over the soft and wallowy first-generation car. Thank the Kia Stinger's architecture for the dramatically different driving dynamics. The K900 is no athlete like the Stinger, but it won't recall Buicks of the 1990s. We digress. The $60,895 price earns buyers a load of standard equipment that still cements the sedan as a...

    2020 Kia Soul EV spy shots and video

    Kia is working on a redesign of its Soul subcompact crossover SUV, and part of the plan is a repeat of the current model's electric option. A prototype for the new Soul EV has just been spotted at the Nürburgring and on some of the German racetrack's surrounding roads. We know it's the...

    Kia brings custom Telluride SUVs, new Forte GT to 2018 SEMA show

    Kia has a full-size SUV headed to showrooms early next year in the form of the recently revealed 2020 Telluride.

  • 2019 Kia K900
    2019 Kia K900 first drive review: Tighter and more European

    Stepping out of the Archer Hotel in Napa Valley’s morning light, it’s hard to remember the lineup of gleaming white and black cars aren’t German. They are South Korean Kias, and they are sharp. The first-generation K900 was head-scratcher with a price starting in the $50,000 range...

  • 2020 Kia Niro EV, 2018 Paris auto show

    The Kia Niro EV made its European stop Tuesday, likely the last stop on its world tour before a U.S. model is revealed. The Niro EV that showed at the 2018 Paris auto show gave us the most detailed look at the electric crossover heading to the U.S. next year, although Kia hasn't yet said when the electric car would go on sale in the U.S. nor how much it will cost. Equipped with a 64-kwh battery, the new Niro EV will offer 301 miles of range on a single charge, measured on the new WLTP standard. That figure is likely to drop once EPA estimates roll in, although the WLTP estimate is far closer...

  • 2019 Kia ProCeed
    Production Kia ProCeed fails to resemble handsome concept

    Kia will use next month's 2018 Paris auto show to present its new ProCeed compact liftback. This is the car that was previewed last year by the handsome Proceed concept (shown below), a sleek wagon exuding elegance and characterized by muscular proportions. Unfortunately, the design was watered...

    Bold new 2020 Telluride marks Kia's entry into full-size SUV segment

    Shoppers in the market in for a spacious three-row, eight-seat SUV from a mainstream brand will soon have a new choice in the form of the 2020 Kia Telluride. The full-size SUV was unveiled Saturday at fashion designer Brandon Maxwell’s event during New York Fashion Week and is due in...

  • Kia developing car audio separate for each passenger without using headphones
    Kia's next-gen car audio technology will let each passenger listen to their own music without headphones

    It's a familiar argument for families. Dad wants to listen to a podcast, mom has her favorite pop station, and the kids want to hear the same Disney song over and over again. The right move is usually a compromise for the kids' tastes or headphones for anyone who isn't driving. Now Kia is working...

    Kia recalls Sunset Yellow Stingers to respray cracked paint

    Owners of Sunset Yellow Kia Stingers at this point are likely aware of chipping and cracking paint finishes, and the brand has acknowledged the problem and will remedy the situation.
