Kia is following the path of its corporate cousin Hyundai by unveiling a new upmarket sedan complete with powerful V-6 and V-8 engines, an impressive design and plenty of techno-wizardry. That new upmarket sedan is the 2015 Kia K900, which makes its debut today at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show...

The SEMA show floor experienced some extra sights and sound. No, it wasn't from the notes of an aggressive exhaust pipe or from the glow caused by oversized wheels.

Kia has rolled out a handful of striking concepts in the past couple of months (Provo, Cross GT), and it looks like the Korean automaker has no intention of slowing that pace as a new one is scheduled to bow at this week’s 2013 Seoul Motor Show. While all eyes will be on New York from...

Although Kia apparently missed the memo from 1996 that under-car neon lights are no longer cool, the overall effect of this Superman-inspired Kia Optima Hybrid is right on target--if that target is looking like it came straight from a comic book. Of course, a comic book is where Superman...

The Kia Ronda hasn’t been on sale in the U.S. since it was dropped at the end of the 2010 model year but a brand new model, one designed under the watchful eye of Kia design boss Peter Schreyer, is in the works and could potentially see the Rondo name return to these shores. Prototypes for...
