    For instance, there is a widebody kit, which makes the car look lower and wider, and we bet that the kit also has aerodynamic qualities and probably is made of carbon fiber. Precisely, the package comprises of a redesigned front bumper which includes big air intakes, the wheel arches have been widened, while the side skirts feature new design. At the rear there is also huge wing that will keep the balance. Kia specialists have also added carbon fiber front splitter and multi-spoke racing wheels shod with Michelins. Inside, there is probably a roll-cage and exclusive racing seats.

  • Kia cee’d Lineup Receives Some New Engines

    Kia cee'dKia’s Cee’d lineup has become the first range to be geared with bran’s latest and greatest engines that have an overall better efficiency with 25% and reduced CO2 emissions. There are a total of three turbocharged units: two petrol and one diesel powerplant. This is an upgrade that comes and with some nice visual changes. For example, the five-door cee’d, the two-door pro_cee’d and the cee’d Sportswagon will now come with restyled body styles.

    The 1.0-litre ecoTurbo petrol engines

    The latest three-cylinder direct-injection T-GDi units were announced at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year. The engines are especially designed to reduce the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. These sweeties provide between 98 and 118 hp, depending on the version. And both units develop a total of 172 Nm of torque over a range from 1, 500 to 4,000 rpm which ensures increased and better driving flexibility. The end result is an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0-60 mph) in less than 12.5 seconds and a top speed of 114 mph (205 km/h).

    Kia cee'd

    The key targets were better response, highly-efficient combustion and sweet torque levels across a wide portion of rev band. The ecoTurbo engines also work on lower temperatures and with cleaner emissions which allows them to operate more effectively. Now the main thermostat controls the flow of coolant to the cylinder, while the engine block thermostat shuts off coolant flow above 105 degrees to reduce friction and improve efficiency.

    The 1.6-litre CRDi engine

    All three cee’d body shapes are also available with a fresh 1.6-liter CRDi turbodiesel unit. This guy offers increased power, from 126 to 134 hp (92 to 98 kW) and greater torque of 280 Nm in manual version and 300 Nm with the new 7-DCT transmission. It looks like the greatest gains are achieved with the 7-DCT gearbox installed. And compared to the previous model, the emissions are lowered with almost 25% from 145 g/km to 109 with economy rates of 67.3 mpg.

    Kia cee'd

    This guy accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) for 9.5 seconds and has a top speed of 205 km/h (114 mph) and for the automatic gearbox these stats are 9.8 seconds and 122 mph. In fact, the 7-speed DCT gearbox was created t deliver a maximum torque of 300 Nm and it is expected to be used in wide variety of models n the recent years. This system offers the smoothness and responsiveness of a manual gearbox if the driver decides to take control over it.

    Furthermore, Kia vehicles, geared with the new engines will also offer extended warranty: 100,000 miles, including labour, subject to terms and conditions.

  • Kia Launches VR7 Line For Picanto, Rio, Cee’d

    Kia-VR7-Range-shadowKia-VR7-Range-mediumKia are planning to introduce a new range for the Picanto, Rio and, cee’d (low-case spelling) models. It’s called the VR7 which sounds sporty but it really isn’t.

    All VR7 models should have a high level of standard equipment. That means air conditioning, leathered steering wheel and gear shift knob, Bluetooth connectivity and USB and AUX ports. On the exterior the new trim-line cars will showcase a selection of features usually found on premium models: alloy wheels, reversing seonsrs, electrically adjustable heated door mirrors, and electric windows on all doors.

    The Kia Picanto VR7 comes in either a 3- or 5-door version. The latter holds a slightly more powerful 1.0 engine with 84 hp. (the 3-door has 68 hp). Either way, you get an entirely comprehensive automotive package complete with things such as ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (ESB), Brake-Assist System (BAS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Vehicle Stability Management (VSM), six airbags and Hill-start Assist control (HAC).

    The Kia Rio VR7 models are again in either 3- or 5-door shells. The 3-door Rio VR7 comes only with a 1.25-liter 84 hp engine and a 5-speed manual. All the while, the 5-door can have the same engine or a 1.1 CRDi diesel with 98 hp and a 6-speed manual ISG transmission. All the Rio models boast color-oriented bumpers, exterior door handles and door mirrors. Needless to say, ESC, VSM, HAC and Anti-theft Alarm System are again included.

    Finally, the cee’d VR7 family. Weather you’re going to go with a pro_cee’d, a 3-door cee’d, a 5-door cee’d or a cee’d Sport Wagon, you will always end up with a 1.4 engine. All but one have the same power output: 98 hp. The one exception is the cee’d CRDi engine which develops 89 hp. All cee’ds have a 6-speed manual and all have a great bundle of standard extras: a rear spoiler, projection headlights, front fog lights and daytime running lights.Kia-Picanto-3door-VR7-medium

  • Kia Cee’d at Geneva and More

    2012-Kia-Ceed-thumbThe new Kia Cee’d premiers to the world at the 82nd Geneva Motor Show. Although South Korean, the Cee’d is quintessentially European – It’s designed, engineered and made in Europe. What we have here, is most definitely a poke in the eye for the big players on the hatchback market.

    Building on the success of the old model, this one is longer (4.3 meters in total) and more slippery. Inside, higher quality materials are now being used and the options list is longer than ever.

    There will be four engines available through most of Europe – two petrol and two diesel ones among which the most powerful will be a 1.6 GDI (it’s a petrol). The abbreviation stands for “Gasoline Direct Injection” – Kia‘s latest. Power comes in the form of 135 PS and 165 Nm of torque. If you go with Dual Clutch Transmission option you’ll get some additional frugality from the engine.

    If economy is what you are after however, a 128 PS diesel version with Kia’s EcoDynamics fuel saving technologies achieves fuel consumption of as low as 3.7 l/100km and CO2 emissions of just 97 g/km.

    Kia Cee'd (2012)
    Kia Cee'd (2012)

    The Cee’d is not alone at the Geneva stand. There’s an SW (estate) version of it which will go on sale later this year.

    Then there’s the Kia Ray EV‘s European premiere – a zero-emission city car with a range of up to 139 km (86 miles) on a single charge. Though developed exclusively for the Korean market, the Ray EV showcases Kia’s technical expertise in developing a battery electric vehicle and highlights its commitment to provide a comprehensive technical solution to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

    Lastly, the Kia Track’ster Concept with electronic AWD adds some sportiness to the stand. The 1.6 GDI turbocharged engine in that one delivers 38 PS (215 PS) less than the 2.0 Track’ster we saw at the Chicago Auto Show earlier this year. It still is however, a brilliant spin-off of the Kia Soul.

  • Kia Cee’d Fresh in Spring 2012

    The hugely popular Kia Cee’d will make an appearance at the Geneva Motor Show 2012 with a whole new feel – a sporty, five-door hatchback with attention to detail in every aspect.

    New stylish features garnish the exterior such as chrome lining around the windows and edgy curves on the bonnet. Striking new headlights now incorporate daytime LED’s. Inside the story is pretty much the same – ergonomic design feature, higher quality materials and driver oriented controls. No news about the oily bits still but we have high hopes for that

    Kia Cee’d has always been the prime C-segment choice of customers with its unparalleled 7-year warranty, affordability and reliability. It is also still used as Top Gear’s “reasonably priced car” which has the novel task to take celebrities around the Top Gear test track.

    Sales are expected to start around the second quarter of 2012, after the premier at the Geneva Motor Show in early March.
