Kia Niro Hybrid: Putting The Prius On Notice

Taking risks is an important step in the growth of any automaker. The next roll of the dice for style-conscious Korean automaker Kia? The Niro, a compact utility vehicle that gambles on Canadian customers transferring their loyalties to the brand's very first dedicated hybrid. In a move designed specifically to …November 16, 2015

2016 Kia Optima Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid: We're Driving Them This Week

Android Auto: The Worst In-Car Interface I've Ever Used

Android Auto is an unmitigated disaster. There, I've said it. After experiencing the new interface for linking your smartphone to your vehicle's infotainment system (which is increasingly available across the industry) in the 2016 Kia Optima, I can honestly state that it's not something I'd ever want to use, and …October 21, 2015

2016 Kia Optima: Staying The Course4.0/5

In the thin air of Aspen, Colorado's peaks, which range in height from two and a half to a full four kilometres above sea level, I discovered that it can be advantageous to bring along your own oxygen. Even the slightest physical exertion during my time there driving the all-new …October 19, 2015

2016 Kia Optima: We're Driving It This Week

This week The Car Guide is travelling to Aspen, Colorado to drive the all-new 2016 Kia Optima. The Optima is the brand's mid-size family sedan, and it's been given a refresh that creates a sleeker, more fastback-like look for the current model year. The Optima's chassis has been stiffened, the …October 12, 2015

2017 Kia Sportage: Maturity Kicks In3.5/5

DEATH VALLEY, California – Most launches we get invited to emphasize the redesigned car or truck’s power, style and technology. We’ll drive the vehicle on windy roads or a racetrack in order to determine how well it handles. However, for the next-generation of the Sportage compact crossover, we got to …September 2, 2015

Turning Up The Heat With Kia

DEATH VALLEY, California – When I was young, I loved checking out spy shots of camouflaged vehicles in car magazines. I’d admire the photographers who’d hide in the bushes with their enormous camera lenses, just waiting to snap a picture of a thinly – or painstakingly – disguised car as …August 26, 2015

2016 Kia Sportage: We're Driving It This Week

Kia ’s compact crossover will receive a full redesign for the 2017 model year, and will make its global debut at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show on September 15th. However, The Car Guide will be heading down to California this week to take a closer look at the new Sportage …August 17, 2015

First Drive: 2016 Kia Sorento

I’ve never been a big sport utility guy—at least not in terms of the modern day incarnation of the sport utility. (I did once briefly own a Jeep Cherokee XJ, but a rust-ridden floor quickly put an end to that.) It’s not that I don’t see the added versatility that …July 30, 2015

First Drive: 2015 Kia Sedona

Crossovers and sport utilities are today what mammoth sedans were during the middle of the last century. In other words, they are everywhere—a symbol of the times that will be forever etched in the history books. But it wasn't that long ago that the minivan, with its sliding doors and …July 10, 2015

2016 Kia Sorento: It's Turbo Time4.0/5

There's no question that Kia understands the people mover market. From the compact Sportage crossover to the exceptional Sedona minivan, the Korean company has proven that focusing on design and features can transcend the function-over-form philosophy that predominates amongst practical vehicles. A similar tale emerges with the 2016 Kia Sorento, …April 10, 2015

2015 Kia Sedona Vs 2015 Chrysler Town & Country: A Tale Of Two Minivans

Comparative Tests

The world of minivans has evolved over the years. Since Chrysler popularized the concept in 1984 with the very first Dodge Caravan, sales quickly took off and reached impressive figures in the 1990s. With the advent of crossovers, however, manufacturers seem to have given up on entry-level models, offering only …March 17, 2015
