Kia Motors Corporation pulled the covers off its latest design statement in New York today. Originating from the Kia Motors America Design Centre in Irvine, California, the striking KOUP concept truly demonstrates Kia’s ‘Power to Surprise’.
The two-door KOUP was a surprise reveal at the New York International Auto Show (NYIAS) and firmly illustrates the shape and evolution of future Kia vehicles.
Kia Motors today announced the world debut of the all-new Borrego SUV at the 2008 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, further bolstering its product offerings in the United States.
Inspired by Kia’s “less is more” design philosophy, Borrego was intended to convey a pure and functional look. It joins Kia’s versatile and stylish line of cars and SUVs for those who enjoy active and energetic lifestyles. Set to go on sale this summer as a 2009 model, Borrego houses Kia’s first-ever V8 engine, making it the most powerful Kia vehicle to date.

2008 Sportage
The Sportage has been an SUV favourite for some time but the latest model adds to the driving fun. With production moved from Korea to Europe, to reduce shipping times and delivery levels of CO2, the Sportage has been given a Euro ‘make-over’ to improve driving dynamics.
Now built in Zilina, home of the cee’d, the 2008 Sportage has changed only the front bumper, grille, wing mirrors and headlights on the outside. Under the skin are a number of significant improvements to make the Sportage even more appealing to European customers.

Kia Motors’ European manufacturing facility – the €1 billion operation at Zilina in Slovakia – is operating so efficiently that production of the new Kia Pro-cee’d has begun six weeks ahead of schedule.
The new three-door Kia Pro-cee’d, which made its World Premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, marks a major expansion of the cee’d range and will arrive in UK showrooms in February.
“The build quality and the productivity levels achieved by our Zilina operations are quite remarkable,” asserted Mr In-Kyu Bae, President and CEO Kia Motors Slovakia (KMS). “These two factors, plus the skills and versatility of our workforce, have enabled us to bring forward assembly of the first customer Pro-cee’d cars by six weeks.”
