KIA RIO was launched in 2017, and got a quick update in late 2018. Some the Sport model replaced the old mid range offerings, and an updated equipment list was offered. This brought loads of tasty goodies such as active lane control and monitoring, and AEB. Most importantly, the GT Line and it’s 1.0L engine came in to being. https://youtu.be/MxekjNKA5Dg [...]

There's a lot to like about the Kia Stinger, but how does the four-cylinder version compare to the V6? That's a question that is pretty easy to answer - it really doesn't. The two versions of Kia's new (and first) large sedan are like chalk and cheese when it comes to the driving experience. Interestingly, I actually came away [...]
When you drill right down, Kia’s Sorento is arguably THE best value SUV on the market right now, especially the top of the range, diesel only, GT-Line model driven at $58,990.

Kia Australia has an updated version of its much awarded Sorento large SUV available now in dealerships nationwide. A consistently popular model, Kia is hoping the 2018 upgrade puts the Sorento seven-seat SUV on even more family shopping lists, and after sampling the vehicle this week I am sure that will the case. https://youtu.be/G91P_t1-wrc Exterior Changes to the outside [...]
