The future has arrived; think back to films like the Fifth Element or Minority Report and I am sure you were thinking “Wow, will we ever live in a world that futuristic?” Well folks, we are almost that high-tech as the new Kia Cadenza brings us one step closer. … Continue Reading
Tis the season….For auto shows, that is. In April, the New York International Auto Show kicks off with many amazing cars, trucks, and SUV’s hoping to wow the general public. One new model for Kia, the Magentis, will be there and it looks great!
This exciting new model will replace the Optima here in the US and a few other markets. It truly is a beautiful looking sedan, with “long and lean” styling. The roof-line is sloped and flows elegantly into the rear trunk space. Compared to other Gurnee used cars, it is longer, wider, and will be a bit lower. As a result of these characteristics, there will be more cargo and passenger space. These are never a bad thing when you own a car!
The Magentis ( I love the name) is scheduled to arrive at your Kia dealer Gurnee in the fall of 2010. Powertrain wise, it is said to be the same as the 2011 Sonata. It will come in a choice of four or six cylinders. If you opt for the four, you’ll find a 2.4-liter with 200 horsepower and 186 lb.-ft of torque. The 6-cylinder engine will have more of a punch that the current engine found in the Sonata, which gives 249 hp and 229 lb-ft of torque. Sounds like this mid-size sedan will get around very well.
As you’d probably expect, Kia also plans to develop a Magentis hybrid. Specific details of this are not out, but there will a Magentis hybrid concept on display at New York’s auto show. Sources say the hybrid version will start being manufactured in December 2010, then going on sale at your Kia dealer Gurnee sometime in 2011.
Since this sedan is being unveiled in April, there will be plenty more to say about it the closer it gets to being on sale this fall. If you are craving a Kia right now, your local dealer has many Kia Gurnee used cars and new Kia models waiting for you!
Kia appeared at the Detroit auto show – not featuring a new product, but rather new technology. This new technology was a hands-free in-car infotainment system, called Uvo (meant to stand for “Your Voice”). Based on Microsoft’s auto software platform, Uvo allows drivers to use voice commands to control their phone and music functions while on the road. Uvo also includes a USB port which enables drivers to store songs to 1 GB of memory, which Kia calls “the jukebox.” This newly offered technology is available with the 2011 Kia Sorento, making the new model even more valuable and interesting to consumers. Car shoppers can buy their Waukegan Kia Sorento at Waukegan cheap used car dealerships. Kia Sorentos can also be found at Gurnee used car dealerships, as well as other new and used car dealerships across the nation. … Continue Reading

I’m thinking about purchasing a Kia Soul. I visit the Kia website and make my way to the page dedicated to the hip, urban ride. I start to customize one, thinking of the essentials and not-so-essentials that I absolutely must have. Then, I’m carefully hovering over a very important button. A “buy now” button? No, even with Kia purchasing a new car isn’t that streamlined. Rather I’m taking great care over a button called “Launch”. I’m ready. I press it quickly and firmly. And my hamster is propelled 21 feet through the air, with the aid of a couple of surfboard-topped Souls.
OK. I’ll tell you what I was doing. Or if you look below, I’ll show you.
