The new Kia Rio will be available as wither a 5-door or a 3-door hatch back. The new car from Kia is likely to be 2 inches loner and one inch wider than its predecessor. Also, the height of the car will be about half-inch less than the 2011 version.

The wheelbase of the 2012 Kia Rio has been increased by about 3-inches which will help in improving the rear seat room. Even though the details of the US version of the car are not yet available, some details of the European version are available. The European version of the 2012 Kia Rio will either come with a 1.2 liter turbocharged gasoline direct-injection engine or a 69-hp 1.1 liter diesel engine. The turbo charged gasoline engine is likely to give a mileage of 50-mpg.

Even though 2011 Kia Sportage was launched with much funfair at Geneva Motor Show in March 2010, the car is being launched in many countries this month. However, the positive review that it has received in many countries has made it one of the most awaited car in many countries.

The main reason for launching the new redesigned Sportage was to increase the market share of the car. However, this will not be easy as Hyundai Tucson is a market leader in the SUV segment in many countries and breaking its hold will not be easy.

Some of the positives of the car include spacious cabin, well-fitted interiors, easy to use controls and centrally located touch screen.

Kia is planning to launch the 2012 Cadenza soon. Here are some features that we love in the 2011 Kia Cadenza and would love the company to include it in its upcoming model:

• The 2011 Kia Cadenza is the value for money car that has several features that are only available in expensive models.
• The look of the car is great, so we don't expect the company to make any major change in the new version of the car.
• Also, the car is spacious and ideal for people who are looking for a car that they can use when holidaying with their family.

However, the 2011 Kia Cadenza was not perfect and we expect the company to make changes in the 2012 Kia Cadenza.

• The steering is not smooth especially at high speeds.
• The handling of the 2011 Kia Cadenza is not easy especially on city roads.
• The noise of the wind when the car is driven at high speed is annoying.

The car is compact yet spacious and ideal for people who are looking for a small car that they can drive in the city. The fully loaded model of Kia Picanto comes with features like alloy wheels, leather wrapped steering wheels, fog lamps, MP3 compatible CD player with USB port, keyless entry, electric folding mirrors and many other features. Some of the features that are available in the new Kia Picanto that are not available in other small cars include Vehicle Stability Management and Hill Start Assist Control.

Kia has given a retro look to its Soul variant which is likely to please many people. Kia Soul Echo is a highly fuel efficient car that will be loved by people who travel frequently in their car.

The seating is comfortable and the switches in the car are easy to use. It is an excellent value for money car that comes with a seven-year warranty.
