What’s new on Kia’s Seoul motor show stand? The firm wheeled out star designer Peter Schreyer to help unveil the all-new Sorento. Surprisingly, the compact SUV looks uninspired. And inside it was a letdown with scratchy plastics giving it a utilitarian feel of Kias past. Schreyer’s influence was more obvious on the second new car on the Kia stand. Called ...

To rub salt into the wounds of the beleaguered Big Three, Korean manufacturer Kia unveiled its own version of the iconic American pick-up truck at the Detroit auto show. But rather than a ultilitarian flat-bed, the Soulster concept is something at the very other end of the scale, designed to drum up interest in the Soul (on which it's based) before the B-segment baby ...

Kia at the Paris motor show 2008

James Foxall, 02 October 2008 16:41

Kia is desperate to prove to the world that it has Soul. And it did so in the most obvious way in Paris with – you guessed it – some soul singers. Seven versions of the new urban crossover Soul were then revealed in production guise and a hybrid version made its debut too. Tell me more about the Soul ...

Expansionist Kia shows no sign of slowing down its forays into the European car market – and the London show provides more evidence of what's to come from the Koreans. What’s new on Kia's London motor show stand? Nothing. But the Kia people are proffering photos of the new production Soul, set to make its show debut at Paris in ...

Kia Koup concept

3.5

Kia’s Koup. If you saw this compact coupe concept without its badges and had to guess who made it, there’s no way your first guess would be Kia. Its lines are simple and sporty, not a million miles from a Ford Puma. But it actually looks like our long-term Honda Civic Type-R from the front, and has hints of VW ...

What's new on Kia's Geneva Motor Show stand? Proof that the Koreans have come a long way since Prides with 12-inch whitewall tyres. Kia unveiled its new compact weapon with a trio that made Ford’s Fiesta look fairly average – the Soul. The Soul Burner for bad extreme sports blokes, the Diva for glamour girls and the Searcher for urban ...

Kia Kee concept

Ben Pulman, 11 September 2007 00:01

Kee, huh? So what bad puns have you come up with? Just the one: this is a key car for Kia. But whatever bad jokes we make the Korean manufacturer openly admits to this play on words. Why? Because this 2+2 coupe previews Kia’s design language for the next decade. The Kee’s design was overseen by Peter Schreyer, the man ...

Kia Kue concept

Ben Oliver, 09 January 2007 04:47

A Kia concept car. How exciting! More exciting than you might suppose. Kia has been riotously successful but freely admits that people only buy its cars because they are cheap and fairly reliable. It wants you to love your Kia too, and in a bid to inject some passion into the brand has hired Peter Schreyer, the man responsible for ...

Kia Proceed

Kia Proceed: the lowdown Shock! One of the most significant cars unveiled at today’s Paris show was a Kia. Not only was this Proceed concept sexy and sporty, a first for a Kia. But its relevance goes deeper than its skin. The Proceed is the three door version of Kia’s five-door Ceed hatchback, a car that will be built in ...
