2012 Kia-KV7 Concept
After two teaser shots and a couple of leaked images earlier today, Kia’s “activity MPV” concept, the KV7, finally hit the showroom floor at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show.Designed to challenge the notion that minivans are strictly for transporting people, the KV7 stands out with its boxy design and, according to the Koreans, also wants to serve as a “connected social hub for groups of friends and adventure-seekers”.

“From the outset, we felt the category was in need of an honest reassessment due to the fact that everyone seems so desperate to attach the word “sporty” to their MPV even though MPVs, at their very core, are simply a box”, said Tom Kearns, Chief Designer, Kia Motors America. “Rather than reject the box we chose to celebrate it, just like we did with the Soul, and the result is a straightforward yet sophisticated vehicle that retains the functionality MPVs are known for and meets the changing and diverse needs of today’s consumers”.

2011 The new Kia cee'd Sporty Wagon retains
Being a sponsor at this year's World Cup means that the Kia logo will be seen by millions upon millions of football fans throughout the tournament. This is a fantastic opportunity to show the World their new, stylish model line-up - so look out for a brand new Kia Cee'd on a street near you because I think their popularity will soar!

Kia Sportage 2011, Utilitário
Kia Sportage 2011
Kia Sportage 2011: 2011 apresenta Kia Sportage inclui aquecida e traseiro assentos dianteiros, o couro da parte / peça estofos pano, sede estofos em pele
Sistema Bluetooth mãos-livres com reconhecimento de voz, de governo remoto roda-montado controles de áudio, de 7 polegadas sistema de navegação, painel de instrumentos Super Vision (EX somente), ajustável iluminação dos instrumentos, sistema auxiliar de estacionamento traseiro, retrovisores câmera de segurança com visor de espelho Interior , sistema auxiliar de estacionamento manobra automática, controle climático automático bi-zona ar-condicionado.
2011 do Kia Sportage
Kia Sportage 2011 Características:
espelho negro suportes porta.
Manual ajustável espelhos retrovisores.
Matt grade do radiador de prata (LX).
Vidros fumados.
Alto brilho, aerofólio traseiro preto.
Corpo de cor pára-choques (2,5 resistente a impactos mph).
Telhado-montado antena de rádio.
Luzes de nevoeiro da retaguarda.
Parada alto-montado luz no spoiler traseiro.
2011 do Kia Sportage
Antes de entrar no Sportage é preciso ressaltar que, além de mais baixo, ele está mais próximo do chão: são 17,2 cm de altura livre do solo, ante os antigos 19,5 cm. Em compensação, ele cresceu 9 cm em comprimento (4,44 m), 15 cm em largura (1,85 m) e 10 cm de entre-eixos (2,64 m). Na lateral, os vidros estreitos acompanham a linha de cintura elevada, deixando o utilitário com ar esportivo. Mas isso gera um inconveniente para quem tem estatura de mediana a baixa: acomodado no banco da frente, o ocupante se sentirá de volta à infância, já que o assento não tem regulagem de altura. O visual da traseira é clean, com lanternas horizontais. “A intenção era chegar a um desenho moderno e limpo, feito para durar mais tempo e ter apelo junto a um público mais jovem”, diz Enrique Giner, gerente de design do centro de estilo da Kia na Califórnia.
O objetivo foi atingido, e o design ainda acumula a função de diferenciar o Sportage de seu irmão de grupo, oHyundai ix35. Apesar de compartilharem a plataforma e a maioria dos componentes, ambos têm acertos distintos. A começar pelo posicionamento na tabela de preços. Enquanto o ix35 custa a partir de R$ 88 mil, oSportage chegará às revendas após o Salão do Automóvel, em outubro, com preço inicial estimado em R$ 75 mil.

Agora, “simbora” para o interior. Calma, ainda não vamos falar da cabine. Vamos é para a pista de testes em Tatuí (SP). No caminho exploramos as respostas do motor 2.0 16V com comando de válvulas variável, 166 cv e 20,1 kgfm – um aumento de 24 cv e 1,3 kgfm, respectivamente, em relação ao Sportage que está nas ruas. A potência teve ganho significativo, ao contrário do torque. O desempenho geral melhorou, graças, também, ao novo (e suave) câmbio automático de seis velocidades. Só que basta uma subida para o Sportage se cansar e reduzir marchas rapidinho. O motor não grita como antes. Mas, nas retomadas, ele perde a serenidade que tem a 120 km/h com o conta-giros em apenas 2.500 rpm.
Console central é estiloso e interior segue a fórmula do visual externo, com linhas limpas. Iluminação em vermelho agrada
Para esticar o passeio no off-road leve, não há dificuldades, já que os ângulos de entrada (28,1°) e saída (28,2°) são satisfatórios. Além disso, na versão 4WD testada há controles de descida e tração. Numa ladeira de terra, o primeiro manteve o veículo abaixo de 10 km/h. Sem ele, a velocidade atingiu 40 km/h na mesma condição. Em situações de pouca aderência, você pode bloquear o diferencial central (por um botão no painel), deixando a divisão de torque em 50% para cada eixo.
Porta-malas cede espaço sob o assoalho para o estepe, banco traseiro é bipartido

Novo Kia Cerato 2011 confira
Kia Cerato 2011
Kia Cerato 2011 será lançada ainda neste ano de 2010, ou seja, um pouco antes da versãoHatch. O Kia Cerato Hatch 2011 vem para ser o concorrente direto do I30 da Hyundai, tendo um preço bem semelhante, até por ser da mesma categoria. O valor de um Hyundai está entre 55 e 65 mil reais.
O motor do Cerato Hatch será 1.6, com 16V, um pouco menos que o I30, talvez isso faça com que seu preço seja um pouco inferior ao concorrente da Hyundai. O I30 é o segundo Hatch Médio mais vendido do Brasil que está praticamente empatado em vendas com o Ford Focus, então é provável que o Cerato Hatch 2011 faça muito sucesso por aqui também. Os preços ainda não estão disponiveis mas devem ser anunciados no Salão do Automóvel 2010.
