In other countries, the third-generation Sorento replaced the second, but for the next three years, in parallel with the new version, the previous one, which is simpler and more affordable, will be sold ... The general cult of consumption made me very lazy, and the metropolis rewarded me with a whole bunch of phobias. Crushed by the assortment of malls and online stores, I panic if they try to show me 140 parquet pattern options, because one of them will definitely match exactly this wallpaper color. Selected from another 60 proposed. It's great to have a glib young salesperson in the store who shields us from too much choice, but then we'll have to give up the illusion that we're really on to something. That is, of course, we think otherwise, ...

The Korean brand confidently continues its offensive - this time the invasion is aimed at the compact class. The Cee`d model is designed to take a strong position of the company in this market segment, and there are chances of success, and they look more than serious ... One thing is for sure - the prerequisites for this model to become a hit are many times greater than its predecessors of Cerato. The clean and stylish design will take care of creating your individual face, and this time the efforts of the brand's stylists have come to fruition. The Kia's interior, especially in the more luxurious EX version, is also dominated by an impressively stylish ambiance, quality and performance that puts it among the best in its class. As for the audio system, Kia ...

The fourth generation of Kia Carens aims to take on the most beloved vans on the Old Continent. The new model demonstrates a completely new concept compared to its direct predecessor - the body of the model has become 11 centimeters lower and two centimeters shorter, and the wheelbase has been increased by five centimeters. Result? The Carens now looks more like a dynamic station wagon than a boring van, and the interior volume remains impressive. Functional interior space There is more space in the rear seats than in the previous model, which is not surprising given the extended wheelbase. However, the surprise comes in another - the trunk has also grown. One of the reasons for this is the decision of the Koreans to abandon the current design of the rear axle with multi-link suspension and switch to a more compact ...

For the first time, a compact SUV passed the marathon test without damage. By the middle of 2016, no SUV model has completed the marathon test of automotive and sports cars with such a good result as the Kia Sportage. But this dual-drive car has other qualities as well. Read it yourself! It's probably no coincidence that photographer Hans-Dieter Zeufert photographed a white Kia Sportage next to a Dornier Do 31 E1 in front of the Dornier Museum in Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance. But Kia's compact SUV model, like the airplane prototype, has been moving vertically upwards since its launch. This made the South Korean brand famous in Germany, and in 1994 the Sportage was already one of the top sellers in the compact SUV class. Today it is the most…

Extravagant Nissan Micra with a new trump card against the more functional compact hatchback Kia Rio Recently, Nissan is offering a small Micra with a three-cylinder 100 hp petrol turbo engine. In this comparison, we will clarify the question of whether it can overtake the equally powerful Kia Rio 1.0 T-GDI. “Radical micromorphosis” was the artistic statement the people of Nissan made to accompany the market debut of the fifth-generation Micra in early 2017. And rightly so, because the modest wildflower has evolved into a small car of expressive form that offered a lot inside. new things. Only under the hood, almost nothing has changed. The most powerful engine was a tired and rather noisy 0,9-liter gasoline engine. Renault which despite its 90 hp. he could not…

Which of the Korean brand's two models is the better choice, Kia Ceed has lost the apostrophe in its name, but in all other respects the third generation of compact cars starts from a very modernized starting point. Does it make the equivalent of the larger, more expensive Sportage SUV? In a sense, Sportage is contrary to the general trend. True, it is still the best-selling Kia model in Germany, but this year it has fallen slightly - by August, newly registered units are almost ten percent less than in the same period in 2017. The new Ceed, which has been on sale since June in an all-new third generation - more elegant and modern than the slightly tantric Sportage, is probably also to blame. The impression intensifies while driving. At that…

From an unnoticed brand, where the Korean addition was already considered almost a curse word, a new, amazing story has emerged, which has yet to be completed. The impatience of Kia Koreans to talk to at car dealerships is immeasurable. "Are we not equal to the best?" is an all too common question (albeit wrapped in more indirect thinking). Kia is rising, no doubt about it, the shape of the new models also speaks for itself. This is also true of the new Sportage, a very attractive, well-designed, city-focused SUV. A strong impression is supported by the packaging, which is hidden under a pleasantly shaped sheet metal. In fact, it's mostly sheet metal, a well-known example of an industrial and business partnership between Kia and Hyundai. Because we already know...

Shamans, totem poles, rusty barges and a big top circus - Baikal reality beats the millennial soaring in digital clouds in the stomach. It's hard to catch your breath, it's impossible to forget what you've seen Olkhon is the largest and only inhabited island of Baikal. The fastest way to get to it from Irkutsk is by air. Fly only an hour. But you can’t load a crossover into a small An-28, so our path leads to a ferry crossing. This is about 130 kilometers to Bayanday and about the same distance to Sakhyurta. The road is of quite decent quality at first does not seem picturesque. In addition to the steppe expanses and unusual Buryat toponyms, the driver is entertained only by long slides. The 2-liter petrol engine of the updated Kia Sportage, however, is not a joy to climb. In top gear, the car does not hold the set cruise control ...

Driving an attractive crossover based on the current generation Kia Ceed The arrival of a model like the XCeed is no doubt great news for any Kia dealer, simply because the vehicle's "recipe" itself guarantees good sales. And its concept is as common, given the continued growth of SUV and crossover models in all segments, as it is successful from a market point of view. Based on the Ceed standard, the Koreans have created a great-looking model with increased ground clearance and adventurous design. The XCeed comes standard with impressive 18-inch wheels, and its sophisticated styling attracts an enviable number of people who pay attention to the model. In fact, the fact in question is a fairly clear explanation of why brand strategists predict that in certain markets in…
