There is standard leather seating available for every version as well as door handles that illuminate for visibility purposes.

Also available for the brand new model is a 3.3 Liter V-6 engine that puts off a whopping 290 horse power. For a car of this size, that is quite a lot of power to ensure you the best ride. But what is all this power worth without proper safety precautions? Thankfully, Kia is has stepped up their game yet again! With amazing safety precautions such as dual front seat mounted side air bags, front active headrests, 4-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock braking system and a traction control system, your passengers will be the safest on the road.

Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), electronic stability control (ESC), side-impact door beams, rear child-safety door locks, and electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) are just a few more of the many, many safe features of this ideal family vehicle. Luxury and safety all in one sounds like the perfect vehicle to me.

2016 Kia Optima

When you know you have a great thing, you can’t wait to show the world.  That must have been the logic behind Kia deciding not to wait until the 2015 New York Auto Show to give us a sneak peek behind the curtain and show us the 2016 Kia Optima.

There appears to be subtle changes to the front of the latest offering as the shape of the headlights and other features have been slightly offered.  They did keep the bold tiger nose grille which is one of my favorite designs.  Along with the vertical fog lights make the front menacing to say the least.  They also have LED taillights with an integrated diffuser and a pair of heavy duty oval exhausts to round out the back.

Under the hood, Kia will continue to offer a standard, naturally aspirated 2.4-liter four-cylinder, as well as an optional 2.0-liter, turbo charged four-cylinder. Power for the engine will be 185 hp and 178 lb-ft, and the 2.0T will be 247 hp and 260 lb.-ft. Both engines have been retuned for fuel economy.  The car company will also offer a 1.6 liter turbocharged four cylinder accompanied with the company’s first seven speed dual clutch transmission.  This produced 178 hp and 19g lb. ft. of torque.  Kia continues to improve upon an already great product.  I can’t wait to sit behind the wheel of this one.

What Exactly Do You Call The Kia Sedona?

Kia prefers that you do not call the Sedona a minivan.  It does seat up to eight people, has a pair of sliding doors, seats that fold out of the way and a great view of the parking lot.  By definition this should qualify right?  But according to Kia, and we would have to agree, the Sedona is just way too cool to be called a minivan.  Think of it as a “multipurpose vehicle."

The 2015 Kia Sedona can almost pass as a large crossover SUV due to the changes they have made to the already popular vehicle.  It definitely leads its market segment in appearance and comfort. Every seat in the Sedona is spacious enough for tall adults.  That is not ordinary as I have found getting through to the seats in some competitors cumbersome and very uncomfortable once I got to my destination.  It also has a convenient cubby in the floor of the trunk that is quite a useful cavern for your gear. 

This offering is definitely hipper and adds more swag to the car owner and its occupants than its more conventional peers.   With its 267 horsepower V-6 engine, six speed automatic transmission and front wheel drive, it has plenty of power to get you and your crew where they are going in comfort and ease.  The cabin is also very quiet considering all of that power under the hood.
