The milestone 300,000th vehicle to roll off Kia's vehicle assembly line at the Manufacturing Plant in West Point, Georgia, was a silver Kia Sorento SX. It's a glorious day to be part of the Kia family.

The only Kia North American plant opened in late 2009 to build the Sorento SUV, and quickly helped the struggling town become born again. Hundreds of jobs were created and industry came back to the region.

Starting in the fall, this plant will also build the Kia Optima sedan, along with future Optima hybrids. Kia will hire about 700 more workers…

We at Bald Hill Kia are pleased to announce that the best-selling Kia Sorento has just made a dramatic 10-point gain in ALG's 36-Month Residual Value Index. Now, the unassuming vehicle offers one of the highest residual value rankings among 2012 model year compact CUVs.

Kia credits the Sorento's notable jump to its dynamic pairing of class-leading horsepower (191 hp) and fuel economy (32 mpg/hwy). The now-available 2.4-liter engine, featuring Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) certainly doesn't hurt either.

"With gas prices above $4.00 per gallon in many parts of the country, fuel economy has…

The Sorrento, an increasingly popular CUV that offers first-rate amenities in a value package, has been Kia Motor's best-selling car for 15 months.  Since it first launched in 2003, it has achieved a lot of firsts. Among other things, it's the first vehicle Kia ever made in the U.S. And, it's the first Kia model to sell 10,000 models in a single month and 100,000 units in a year.

Now, in its 11^th model year, the Kia Sorrento continues to exceed expectations, commanding the attention of the industry's most stringent critics. Most…

On the weekend of April 9, at the GRAND-AM Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Street Tuner class race in Birmingham, Alabama, Kia Motors claimed their first-ever motorsport victory.  That's quite a feat, considering 2011 marks only the second year Kia has been involved in the motorsport program.

"After starting the year with two top-10 results and our first podium finish, we arrived at Barber Motorsports Park with high expectations and our sights set on earning Kia's first-ever victory," said Michael Sprague, VP Marketing & Communications, Kia Motors America. "With the proximity to Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia, the Barber race…

Remember back to the 1990s and early 2000's... Korean-made cars all looked very Korean. While this is by no means a bad thing, it does make it difficult to sell vehicles worldwide.  To inject a more universal style into its lineup, Kia effectively hired former Audi designer Peter Schreyer.

Schreyer says that there is no "Koreaness" about the current Kia lineup. And he's right, as far as production models are concerned. The recent...

Now, the award-winning sedan has received an overall rating of five-out-of-five stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

To earn a five-out-of-five star rating, the Kia Optima had to pass the organization's new, more stringent rating system. Essentially, the system is designed to...
