I was very pleasantly surprised with what I found from this Kia. From the moment I sat down in the luxurious leather bucket seats I realized that this Kia meant serious business. As I looked around I also noticed that it had enough room for a small army. The interior boasts retractable seats, and when they are down, 67 cubic feet are available for cargo, which is actually more space than some larger SUVs offer.

Once we started driving, I was very impressed with all of the driving features that this Kia has to offer. As my Waukegan dealer explained to me, this SUV comes equipped with a 2.0 liter, 4 cylinder, 140 horsepower engine and has a counterpart that is available as a 2.7 liter, V6, 173 horsepower hoss. I drove the former, and it was a very impressive ride. The engine has a Steptronic transmission, so basically with the tap of my finger, I could manually shift the gear I was in. It was simple and easy (and tons of fun).

And it also comes with plenty of safety features such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and has been given Five Star Ratings from the NHTSA for its frontal and side impacts.

Overall, I was very impressed with the quality and the performance during my Waukegan Kia Sportage test drive. The Sportage has plenty of space for every aspect of life, along with a ride that is easy to handle and an acceleration that will excite anyone. So if you are looking into finding a new SUV, take it from someone who has been obsessed with them for years. The newest addition the SUV family is doing the name proud and the Waukegan Kia Sportage will have SUV fans everywhere wanting a test drive of their own.

The new Koup was presented as a concept car at the New York Auto Show last year. Now that Kia has fully thought out this car, it will be available in two trim levels, the EX and the SX and both spunky and sporty to drive.  

The EX will be available with 156 horsepower, while the SX will get 173 horsepower. And both come with great fuel-efficiency ratings. The EX will achieve 25 mpg in the city and 34 on the highway, while the SX will get 22 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway.

Plus, according to Waukegan new car dealers, the new Koup will come with  tons of perks. It will come standard with heated seats, power heated mirrors, keyless entry, Bluetooth, six-speaker audio, and it will offer optional leather seats, and satellite radio.

The interior has a clean-cut look that anyone will be able to appreciate. The car has an overall modern look, and is available in sporty, fun colors that will boost your mood any day of the week. And, like I said before, this Koup is going to get a spunky and fun ride to it as well. With its tough horsepower it is stronger than many cars in its class and will be able to deliver a different experience. The Koup definitely goes outside the range of what past affordable compact coupes have offered.

And taking many of its cues from the brand new Waukegan Kia Forte, the new Koup has no reason not to be a star in performance. The Forte has proven itself a competent and reliable ride that gets good fuel economy and performs capably, and the Koup is prepared to follow in its foot steps.

So, while many cars out there take themselves a little too seriously nowadays, Kia has realized the importance of letting loose every once in a while, building fun and kool cars. The new Koup will be available at Waukegan dealers soon, so check with them about when this new little Forte.
