The Stylish Spacious 2013 Kia Carens Has Now Been Released

2013_kia_carens
The 2013 Kia Carens is a stylish revamp of its older, outgoing sibling. It has a cab-forward design and long wheelbase. It is spacious and practical with seating for five or seven. More modern fog-lights and a more aerodynamic appearance will add to its appeal. It is also slightly wider than the hatchback.

The headlights are now long and swept back and the grille is much more stylish. The manufacturers have added another 100mm to the wheelbase. This allows the introduction of a third row of seats.

The seats are equipped with cup holders and storage holes on either side. Each seat slides independently of its neighbours and both the second and third row seats fold flat easily. Although the new model is designed to take the place of both the Carens and the Sedona MPV, the sliding door rear access has not been included.

Buyers have the option of six-speed, manual or automatic transmission. There is a choice of four engine sizes. Diesel models include a 1.7 litre motor with a choice of 113 or 134 bhp. Petrol models are a 133bhp 1.6 litre model or a larger 175 bhp 2.0 litre petrol engine. The multi-link set-up of the hatchback has been replaced by a torsion-beam rear suspension. This will be adapted to suit roads in the United Kingdom.

The design and quality of the interior has been the focus of a great deal of attention. Clever storage is found behind the front seats in the floor plan area. The visual impact of the new model is much more dynamic impact whilst retaining the same practicality and adaptability of its predecessor.

This is an ideal family car for those who have a busy lifestyle but still want a stylish, practical car. Options on the top model include heated rear seats and steering wheel and a park assist package. A panoramic roof is also offered. The 2013 Kia Carens is bound to find favour with those looking for a spacious but stylish family vehicle.

Kia Grabs Brass Ring At Madison Square Garden

Madison_square_garden
Kia Motors America is extending and expanding its deal with Madison Square Garden, wherein Kia becomes a signature partner and official vehicle of the venue. The new partnership should give Kia some of what it has needed for years: awareness, affinity and positive brand perception.

The deal gives Kia a big placement at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, tie-ins with the New York Knicks, the New York Rangers and the New York Liberty, and presence around college basketball and tennis, as well as the Concert Series at The Garden. The partnership also includes an expanded presence for Kia on MSG regional sports networks, MSG and MSG+, and integration on the Garden, Knicks, Rangers and Liberty websites. Also, Kia vehicles will be on show year-round with a custom-built display space in the lobby entrance to the Arena.

Kia's Official Vehicle designation will include branding at the Arena for all associated sports events and the Concert Series. Kia gets digital and static signage throughout the Arena; features on GardenVision, the center-hung scoreboard; and on-court and on-ice branding and promotional contests. Kia will be there for the Concert Series that includes Madonna, Justin Bieber, One Direction, The Who and Neil Young and Crazy Horse. Kia will have a presence at all Friday night Knicks and Rangers games as the presenting partner.

Tim Chaney, executive director of marketing communications at Kia, points out that the automaker is not new to the Garden as it has had a seven-year relationship with the Knicks plus sponsorship of the the Rangers NHL team, activated with the New York Kia dealer group. "But this is the whole building all year long for multiple years." Beyond this, Kia is official vehicle of the NBA, and also has separate, individual sponsorship deals with 14 NBA teams. "But this really is the first of this scale for us; being a signature partner gives us exclusivity to select categories," says. He tells Marketing Daily that New York, media central, is the place to have this kind of deal. "And if you are going to have a presence in New York, this is the property to do. He adds that the Garden's multi-year, billion-dollar investment in facility renovation also works as a complement to Kia's own packed vehicle-launch schedule. "We looked at it simply: transformed Kia at the transformed Garden."

There's also a CRM element with Kia customers getting access and experiences with MSG's sports brands and events. The automaker says it will collaborate with the Knicks and Rangers on a number of promotions and events also for Kia customers. Some of the offers include tickets and special experiences at games. As the official vehicle of the Concert Series at The Garden, Kia will also work with MSG on promotions for select concerts.

Dave Kissel, president and CEO of Chicago-based sports-event media network InStadium, says the virtue of a major sponsorship deal like Kia's is that, among other things, it locks out the competition against an audience a marketer determines to be spot-on for its brand. "But even for the most well-funded brands you can't lock up every thing. So even the big guys have to be careful about how and where and when they spend money on sponsorships. But, clearly, sponsorship does work as part of the overall media mix. It's a $23 billion market; clearly, it works."

Indeed, Kia is not the lone auto brand with category-exclusivity in the Big Apple: across the East River, Honda in August became the 10th brand to hitch its star to the new Barclay's Center as a top-tier sponsor, becoming official vehicle of both the Brooklyn Nets and the arena itself. Among other things, Honda will sponsor the Brooklyn Hoops Winter Festival in December.

This Awesome Batman-Inspired Kia Has Bat Signal Headlights

Batman-kia-optima
If Batman ever decided to step away from his atrocious and beastly black ride and chose to drive a Kia instead, this is probably the car youd sport the vigilante in.

As part of DC Entertainments "We Can Be Heroes" campaign, Kia developed this Batman-inspired Optima SX with artist Jim Lee and Rides magazine lending a hand.

To make its debut in the New Yorks Time Warner Center this week, the car includes a flattering bodykit, 20-inch wheels, a matte and piano black paintjob, a yellow underglow, a Batwing-shaped grille and HID headlights etched with the Bat-Signal.

With lots of black leather packing the interiors, the car also includes a Batsuit and cowl in the trunk, just in case Batman requires a change of clothes.

2012 Kia Soul Road Trip Review

2013_kia_soul
Last weekend I had the privilege of driving a 2012 Kia Soul to Blog Cabin in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Now, my Dad has a Kia Rondo, so I know how well these cars drive, but I have to admit, I fell in love with the little "Hamster Mobile."

The Kia Soul is considered a "cross over" vehicle and gives you the best of both worlds the cargo capacity of a truck or SUV but the size and drive of a compact car. I was super impressed with the amount of luggage, swag, games, and food we were able to pack in the back of this little thing and still have visibility from all sides.

I insisted on driving because Trisha is a nervous wreck on the road… and that was long before we got near the mountains. The Kia Soul drove very smooth and handled well on the interstate for hours at a time. The seats were comfy for the 10 hour trek… that we managed to stretch into about 14 hours. The push start ignition was awesome I have to admit I miss that part already. The gas mileage was also great…thank goodness because I actually FORGOT to gas up…

We absolutely LOVED the Sirius Radio and built in USB ports to listen to iTunes on our phones. We literally rocked out the entire way there and back. And in case you are wondering, Trisha is a master at knowing the lyrics… but TERRIBLE with knowing the artists on anything Pre-Backstreet Boys….

There is tons of technical / mechanical information about the Kia Soul on the Kia Website, but mom-to-mom / woman-to-woman this little car rocks. I couldnt find a single thing I didnt like about it - except for maybe how hard it is to find in a parking lot in Pigeon Forge Tennessee when you are surrounded by pick up trucks twice its size. Being back in my car this week as much as I love my car I am missing the Kia Soul. Every time I go digging through my purse to find my keys, every time I wish I had a sunroof to open, every time there is nothing but commercials on the radio… I wish I was in the Hamster Mobile.

Thank you again to Kia for letting Trisha and I drive the 2012 Kia Soul to our Brandcation Blog Cabin event. I absolutely loved it!
