Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi (2012) long-term test review

Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi (2012) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 23 May 2012 16:40

It’s amazing how your views on things can change once you actually give something a go. I’ve got to admit I read the Sportage blurb with some cynicism before it arrived, particularly the Sport bit. OK, the looks are ‘sporty’ enough but when I got to the bit about the high sheet metal glass ratio giving the feeling of sitting ...

Kia Sportage 1.7 CRDi 2WD (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Judging by the frequency you see Kia’s third-generation Sportage on the roads, British buyers are captivated by its combination of Dolce & Gabbana looks at Matalan prices. But in the fiercely contested crossover market is the 1.7 CRDi front-wheel drive Sportage more style than substance in the world of faux by fours? Is the 2011 Kia Sportage as good as it ...

Kia Rio (2011) pre-production prototype CAR review

This is the new Rio, Kia’s B-segment rival for the Ford Fiesta. It’s 20mm longer, 25mm wider and 15mm lower than its predecessor. More importantly, though, its wheelbase is also extended by 70mm to 2570mm – significantly more than the Fiesta’s 2489mm. It’ll be on sale as a five-door hatch in the third quarter of this year, the three-door following ...

Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi First Edition (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

The new 2010 Sportage is the first fully modern Kia, we reckon. The first styled wholly under chief designer Peter Schreyer (he of Audi fame), who's only now making his influence felt after four years in charge of styling the Korean cars. So take note of this new Kia Sportage. It's the most comprehensive look yet at the new face of Kia. Tiger-snout grille? ...

Kia Ceed EcoDynamics (2009) CAR review

Kia Ceed EcoDynamics (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Glen Waddington, 23 December 2009 08:15

Kia’s facelifted the Ceed in fairly subtle style. Bar the new nose (which makes it look like a last-gen Astra), only details such as the dashboard’s new centre console are fresh. But this green-tinged EcoDynamics version takes Kia into new territory, even if the blandly attractive styling, good-value pricing and seven-year warranty mean the Kia proposition is otherwise unchanged. How ...

Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi (2008) CAR review

Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 16 October 2008 13:36

We got up close with the production Kia Soul a couple of weeks back at the 2008 Paris motor show, but today CAR has driven the Soul in Korea. It’s a B-segment offering from Kia, a model the Korean firm hope will help build on the Ceed’s success while attracting a younger audience. Think of it as our Mini or ...

Kia Proceed 2.0 CRDi (2008) CAR review

Kia Proceed 2.0 CRDi (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Stupid names for cars aren’t new. We’re had the Nissan Gloria, the Ford Probe and the Mazda Bongo Brawny van after all. But in the long roll call of daft designations, the Kia pro_cee’d (note the lower case ‘p’, the underscore and apostrophe) takes top prize. The pro_cee’d is the three-door sportier version of the cee’d, the new European-built Kia ...

Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi XE (2007) CAR review

Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi XE (2007) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

The Sportage is new, is it? Doesn’t look it... It’s a facelift rather than an all-new car, and we’re talking nip and tuck rather than major surgery. Park the old and new models next to each other, and the changes are more obvious. There’s a new grille, black bezel headlamps and 16-inch alloy wheels. The bumpers are now body coloured, ...

Kia Ceed SW 1.6 CRDi (2007) CAR review

Kia Ceed SW 1.6 CRDi (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

What’s this, an estate version of the Kia Ceed hatchback? Yep, but it’s called SW. Sounds a bit more aspirational than plain old estate, you see. The Ceed hatchback isn’t a bad starting point. It was the first Kia to emerge from the company’s new factory in Slovakia, and delivers a surprisingly sharp drive and much improved cabin quality over ...

So it's a Kia. And an MPV Okay, so it's not exactly high on your lottery win wish list but Kia is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with in car circles thanks to cars like the Picanto and its new Focus challenger, the Ceed. And this new Carens will help it climb couple of steps closer? Well maybe ...
