  • Kia shares first image of upcoming 2019 XCeed SUV!

    2019 Kia XCeed Kia Motors has released the first image of the all-new XCeed urban crossover. The vehicle is scheduled to be fully revealed later in June 2019 and until then we are left with a single photo of the vehicle.

    What we know so far is that the super sexy and coupe-like appearance of the XCeed is a product of brand’s European design centre in Frankfurt, Germany and it was designed by Gregory Guillaume, Vice President of Design for Kia Motors Europe. The blend of ride height and lower hip point do contribute to a sporty expression and driving position, while the classic SUV features ensure safe, pleasurable and overall satisfactory driving experience.

    Definitely the more emotional and dynamic styling would bring more enthusiasts and buyers. As for drivetrain system and interior features, we don’t have a clue what they would be like, but we are pretty sure that the sexy exterior concept will be accompanied by such striking features and goodies.

  • Kia Cadenza Facelift, or How To Make Even More Beautiful Vehicle

    2016 Kia Cadenza faceliftKia Motors today demonstrated the upgraded and restyled exterior of the Korean domestic market Cadenza (known as K7 in Korea). This vehicle proudly showed its new beautiful and functional design, along with some sweet additions. It will go on sale overseas in 2016. Recently, Kia team comes up with wonderful projects, solutions and ideas and we all hope that this tendency will not only remain, but will also improve for future models.

    The next-gen Cadenza still maintains this progressive and modern styling, but now also comes with these somehow sharper more direct and defined lines. The car is also wider, lower and more aggressively-looking. Long story short, Kia team made everything possible to make this vehicle stand out from the crowd.

    Influenced by European luxury sedan appearance, the face-lifted Cadenza comes with long bonnet, wider shoulders and swept-back roofline really do make this vehicle look more confident, more stylish and elegant.

    The front of the car meets everyone with reinterpretation of Kia’s well-known “tiger-nose” grille, sharp LED headlamps, more muscular fenders and overall badass-looking face. The distinctive lines join the chrome details, twin exhaust pipes and that more-massive appearance to create one-of a kind design. And frankly, Kia team one more time made a good point with restyling its own vehicles in a way that is contemporary, beautiful and functional.
