2011 KIA Optima Interior Spy photos

Checkout these European spy photos for the New 2011 KIA Optima interior. The interior seems to wrap around the driver and has a much more luxurious feel. Kind of makes us wonder whether there will be a new KIA Amanti or not......

KIA Unveils a New Trim Level for the 2011 Sorento! The SX



KIA has made a huge impact over the past year with vehicles like the KIA SOUL, Forte and Forte Koup, and the 2011 Sorento. Well now the Sorento is even better.... the SX trim Sorento was unveiled at the Atlanta Auto Show. It has a slightly more aggresive design with revised front and rear fascia, 18 inch wheels, chrome exhaust tips, LED taillights and it rides an inch lower for a sportier stance.


Under the hood of the SX Sorento is a standard 276 HP V-6, and the suspension is enhanced with Dual Flow Dampers for a more responsive feel behind the wheel. The interior is filled with all the luxuries; leather seats (heated in front), voice-activated navigation with back-up camera, and an Infinity audio system.

2010 Kia Forte Koup SX

The 2011 Kia Forte Koup joins the Forte Sedan in replacing the Spectra. The Forte Koup loses the four doors for a more stylish two door look accompanied by aggressive bodywork that suggests higher performance than the sedan. The Koup comes standard with a 2.0-liter engine with 156 horsepower and 144 lb-ft of torque mated up with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. The front bumper adds a bit of attitude, a pair of fog lights are deeply set in the corners of black surrounds. The rear end is just as unique, with its own taillights, a dual exhaust outlet, and don't forget about the new 17-inch wheels with a two-tone black and silver finish. The interior ergonomics are solid, with a standard arrangement of large buttons and rotary knobs. The Forte Koup comes standard with three months of Sirius satellite radio, Bluetooth Technology, two 12V outlets and ports for an auxiliary audio cable and USB. Later this year the Microsoft-sourced UVO system will be available. The Forte Koup has a base price of $16,595.
