City and highway tests
There are two different fuel consumption tests: one for city driving and one for highway driving. The city driving test simulates a 12 km, stop-and-go trip with an average speed of 32 km/h. The test includes time spent idling, as in waiting at traffic lights or in peak hour traffic, and two kinds of engine starts are used: the cold start, which is similar to starting a car in the morning after it has been parked all night; and the hot start, similar to restarting a vehicle after it has been warmed up, driven and stopped for a short time. The highway driving test represents ‘non-city’ driving
over a distance of 16.48 km, at an average speed of 77 km/h. The test is run from a hot start and has little idling time and no stops (except at the end of the test).

Following the successful launch of the all-new, widely acclaimed 2010 Kia Soul urban passenger vehicle in Miami earlier this year, Kia Motors America (KMA) today launched the all-new 2010 Kia Forte compact sedan in Seattle. The Emerald City, known for its innovation and creativity, provides the perfect backdrop for Forte, a true pioneering player in its segment. On sale in North America early this summer, Forte is the first of its kind to offer consumers an impressive combination of standard safety, comfort and convenience features.

With performance-inspired, aggressive and sleek styling, Kia Motors America (KMA) today globally debuted the 2010 Forte Koup production vehicle during a press conference at the 2009 New York International Auto Show (NYIAS). Joining the Forte family in the KMA lineup, the company’s first-ever two-door coupe embodies the brand’s current bold design direction first seen on the concept version of the Soul urban passenger vehicle in 2006.

Overview
The Kia Soul is a new vehicle invented by its young designer, catering to the wants and needs of his fellow Gen Y types. It might be said that the Soul is an extension of the boxy little 2006 Scion xB, because the redesigned ‘07 xB drove off that track, and the Soul aims to steal that market as well as find its own. Kia is heavily pitching personalization, offering many accessories and ways to attach your identity to your Soul. Everything from sideview mirrors in accenting colors, to seats that glow in the dark. Their goal with the Soul is to stand out in a sea of sameness. The base model uses a 1.6-liter engine with a five-speed manual transmission for $13,300, but far more buyers will opt for the 2.0-liter with an optional four-speed automatic for $15,900, getting 27 combined miles per gallon.

The new face of Kia
The all-new Cerato is the first new look Kia featuring the eye-catching style of design guru Peter Schreyer. You may be familiar with his work, including the Audi TT and VW Beetle. According to Schreyer, “Design gives a soul to the product and reaches the hearts of the people.” As Chief of Design, Schreyer has developed a distinctly new, more contemporary look that is unlike anything you have ever seen from Kia. Design is the key to Kia’s new philosophy. “Kia is a brand underpinned by quality and reliability. Now on top of that comes this emotional element of distinctive design,” Schreyer said. And the all-new Cerato is, without a doubt, driven by design.

Perhaps you’ve been thinking “Green” lately and have looked at one of those new hybrid models as a way to stretch your gasoline dollar (especially in these days of record high footprint to help cut greenhouse gases. But maybe you gas prices) and reduce your CO2 weren’t entirely convinced the extra cost of a hybrid vehicle was feasible at this time or you are having difficulty finding one since they are in such high demand. Perhaps you are waiting to see how well they work out for the long haul or planning to buy one when they are more affordable.
