Vehicle Highlights

Kia's first midsize sedan shares its engine with corporate-parent Hyundai's XG350, but uses different architecture, with a 2-inch-longer wheelbase, 4-inch-longer body, and some 350 lb more curb weight. It uses a V6 and 5-speed automatic transmission with manual shift gate. Antilock 4-wheel disc brakes, front and rear side airbags, and head-protecting curtain side airbags are standard. So are dual-zone climate control, CD/cassette audio, keyless entry, and power front seats. Options include antiskid/traction control, leather upholstery, heated front seats, in-dash CD changer, and driver-seat memory system. Kia shares Hyundai's warranty coverage of 5-years/50,000-mi. basic, 10/100,000 powertrain, 5/unlimited roadside assistance.
