Kia Unveils 4 new rides at New York Auto Show

All-New Midsize Sedan, Compact Five-Door and Two CUVs Debut in the Big Apple

Building on momentum established in 2009 with 3 new products, record U.S. market share and the opening of Kia Motors` first automotive assembly plant on U.S. soil1, Kia Motors America (KMA) today unveiled four all-new vehicles during a press conference at the New York International Auto Show: the 2011 Optima midsize sedan, Forte five-door compact, and the Sportage and Sorento SX compact CUVs. Following the successful launches of the Soul, Forte and Forte Koup, Kia Motors` slate of New York introductions continue the brand`s design-led transformation and each combine new and compelling design traits with the latest technology and convenience features while delivering efficient and fun-to-drive performance characteristics.

Forte five-door builds on the popular Forte compact sedan and bold Forte Koup by employing another practical yet modern iteration of the platform. Lower and firmly set on its haunches, Forte five-door carries with it all the amenities of the Forte line and introduces a new front grille, alloy wheels, lower valence design, center console, paddle shifters, push-button start and navigation in addition to the ostensible fifth door for a distinct appearance and intentional practicality. Forte five-door is available with two efficient engines - 2.0-liter or 2.4-liter - and a new six-speed manual or automatic transmission.

When will the five door Forte be available in Canada? Looks quite interesting.

In 2011, the Sportage compact crossover will be updated its important midsize sedan, the Optima. The sedan is the subject of the review today, at prices competitive and the car packed in the car segment hot companies. Kia used instead of the New York International Auto Show in April 2010, a fund for the next generation debut Optima. He proved a smart decision, because New York is one of four American cars look, offering a large print, in addition to hundreds of thousands of visitors.
