2007 Kia Amanti Review
More power and freshened looks highlight Kia's largest car for 2007. The 2007 Kia Amanti again comes in a single trim level with a V6 engine, but replaces a 200-horsepower 3.5-liter with a 264-horse 3.8. The only transmission is a 5-speed automatic. ABS is standard, as are front and rear side airbags and curtain side airbags. Traction control and antiskid control are optional. Power-adjustable pedals are newly available in a freshened interior with a redesigned dashboard. Exterior styling is also revised, as is the suspension. Available options include leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a sunroof. This evaluation of the 2007 Kia Amanti is based on preview test drives.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Large Cars comprise the biggest passenger sedans and wagons. Large, inside and out, they offer lots of metal for the money and are dominated by domestic brands.

Our Best Buys include Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Magnum. Our Recommended picks are the Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego.
News
We hear a redesigned Amanti is coming for model-year 2009 or 2010 as a somewhat sportier, retrimmed sister of parent Hyundai's Azera. Kia hooked up with Hyundai before the Amanti was launched and the two companies began coordinating product lines. The current Amanti will thus be the last Kia with a platform unique to that brand.

The redesign should bow at about the same time as Hyundai's planned midsize rear-drive V8 sedan. Sources say Kia will offer a version of this new model with sportier lines, firmer suspension and perhaps a little more power.
