The Borrego (a Mohave in other markets) is long gone. That full-size SUV offering from Kia bowed out of the United States back at the end of 2009. The Sorento has been pulling three-row duty for the brand in the meantime and has done an admirable job with the task at hand. Still, a larger, more...

That's precisely the case, as the next-generation Sportage is scheduled to be...

When it comes to sports cars, we bet the first name you think of is not Kia. It's probably not even the 10th, or the 50th. It's really not even on the list. But that may change in the not too distant future. Kia surprised many when it rolled out the striking GT4 Stinger concept at 2014’s...

The current Kia Sportage has been on sale since the 2011 model year but a new one is in the works, prototypes for which have been spotted testing in Europe.

Kia’s all-new 2016 Optima sedan has made its debut at the 2015 New York Auto Show. It was at the New York event back in 2010 that Kia first broke off the shackles of lame, design by committee styling when it unveiled its striking, third-generation Optima. The vehicle quickly became the...
