The 2011 Kia Sportage is one great-looking crossover, and with a starting price of $18,295 (*$18,990 with destination) it’s rather affordable as well. Kia announced Tuesday that its longest running nameplate will start well below the $20,000 mark while sporting standard features like a six-speed... 

The Kia Soul has another set of special-edition duds to wear in the UK. This time it’s called the Soul Echo, latest in the Soul Originals line, following such others as the Tempest, Burner, Samba and Shaker. The Echo is offered in Clear White or Quartz Black Metallic, with stripes and accents... 

The crossover is the high-fructose corn syrup of the automotive world. Think about it: Rather than using real sugar, Pepsi opts for a cheaper, highly refined and processed sweetener. Which, according to lots of studies, is pretty bad for us. Why would they do that? Higher profits, pure and simple. Likewise,... 

Kia has been cranking out some really impressive-looking vehicles recently. In fact, the Soul hatchback was a contender for the World Design of the Year award. And while we’ve seen hot new designs for both the Sorento and Sportage, the most significant addition to the Kia portfolio is the revamped... 

The original Kia Sportage was one of the vehicles that led the Korean automaker’s initial charge into the American market.

Kia wants you to consider its 2010 Soul a template ripe for customization, and if you can’t think of funky things to do with it, Kia will be glad to help you. This is the Kia Ignition Soul – the second special edition after the 1,200 Denim Souls released earlier this year – in “scorching”... 

In an interview with the blokes from Autocar, Kia head designer Peter Schreyer had plenty of interesting things to say about the possibility of a new rear-wheel drive sportscar from the Korean automaker based on the KEE concept from the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show. If it ever sees the light of day, Schreyer... 

Will they build it or won’t they? That’s the question we’ve all been asking since Kia showed off its funky Soul’ster concept earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show. We’ve been hearing rumblings that there’s a solid push from inside the Korean automaker’s...
