Kia Carnival is known in the USA as the Sedona. It is the best selling people mover in the country according to VFACTS, and Kia. It’s the sensible choice for those who fancy tea and Tim Tams at three. It is tough and reliable. Above all has enough space to transport the team to a game, then double as [...]
I’d have thought Kia’s Sportage or Rio would be its top seller here but no, it’s the Cerato small car in sedan and hatch that tops the sales charts. It’s because Cerato offers great value for money especially the test drive entry level S model with six speed auto selling for an incredible $19,990 drive away. Add the optional [...]
The Kia Stinger is epitome of what the South Korean brand is capable of producing right now. What an amazing car; full of power, style, comfort and luxury, it’s a complete package for a grand tourer sedan. I was already impressed by the smaller engine version of the Stinger I test drove last year and now the Stinger GT [...]
Kia dropped a toe in the water with second generation Picanto a couple of years ago and it sold in enough numbers to convince Kia to go ahead with gen III.

Kia recently released the updated version of its much awarded Sorento.

The range has 2.2 diesel, and 3.5L V6 petrol engines, 7 seats, and the afore mentioned 8 speed auto. Weight ranges from [...]
The only car Kia could benchmark new Sorento against, is the old Sorento. It really is that good. Location: The Blue Mountains, New South Wales. A cool, leafy, mountain top is the perfect place to reveal the mid-life makeover of Kia’s biggest SUV, the Sorento. It wasn’t all bluster and breeze, the meat and potatoes was all good news. [...]
A day at the track, and long leisurely drive through the parched Australian landscape showed Stinger for what it is: a beautiful, long legged GT car. It is capable of great distance in comfort. The cabin replete with gadgets worthy of a premium European, is a truly lovely place to be. See our launch review here for full details [...]
