Top 5 Kia-Buzz Posts for Fall & Winter 2012

December 31st, 2012 Posted in In Other Words,Vehicle Models   

• By Kia BUZZ Editorial Team

As the year 2012 officially approaches to an end, we’d like to look back at some of the BUZZ postings from fall and winter to see which ones fans have picked as favorites. Let’s take a journey down the memory lane and wrap up 2012.

5. Become a Superhero in this Batman-Inspired Optima

Back in October, Kia Motors America teamed up with DC Entertainment and RIDES magazine to create a brooding, Batman-inspired Optima to be displayed at New York’s Time Warner Center. This was the first of eight customized Kia vehicles to signal the beginning of a 10-month partnership based on the iconic characters of the Justice League. Not only this Batman inspired Optima looked awesome, but it was also for a good cause – It was to benefit DC Entertainment’s “We Can Be Heroes” giving campaign, a relief effort to fight hunger in the Horn of Africa.

4. Paris Show world premiere for all-new Kia Carens

Every Kia vehicle launch is special to us but all-new Carens premiere at the Paris Motor Show in September was extra special – it had been more than 5 years since the design change and first time under Mr. Peter Schreyer’s direction. Built on an all-new platform, Carens delivers spacious practicality with sleek aerodynamics, a cab-forward design, long wheelbase and up to seven seats, perfect for a modern family.

3. All-new Cerato (Forte) Images Released

One of the hottest selling Kia sedans, all-new Cerato/Forte boasts sleeker styling with ‘dynamic muscularity’ in a design that is longer, lower and wider than the current car with an extended wheelbase.  It also features an all-new bodyshell, upgraded equipment, a host of additional convenience and safety features, a more spacious cabin with enhanced quality, improved refinement and an upgraded powertrain. Fans have responded very well to its dramatic design upgrade as we hoped for.

2. Kia Luxury Flagship Sedan to be Named ‘Kia Quoris’ for Export Markets

Kia’s first luxury flagship sedan received buzz from all over the world (named K9 domestically), and its name for the export market was a big decision for Kia. Many fans gave us their ideas and we finally decided with ‘Kia Quoris’, word ‘Quoris’ deriving from the English words ‘core’ and ‘quality’. With an unconventional name, Kia Quoris hopes to stand out further from the established crowd, successfully securing its spot in a new segment for Kia.

1. Spy Shots of Kia Police Cars in New James Bond Film – Skyfall

It was very exciting for us to tell Kia fans that our Sportage and Optima would be featured in none other than the new James Bond film, Skyfall. During the sequence, the Kia Optima and Sportage police cars played central action roles in London to trap the evil-doers. Some of our sharp-eyed customers who were in London at the time of filming saw the cars and sent pictures to our Kia-Buzz staff. With this major debut, we hope to see Kia cars in many more films to come.

We hope you enjoyed our last posting of the year 2012. We would like to sincerely thank you for your support for Kia, and we are planning to provide more fun and insightful posting for 2013 so stay tuned.

We wish you a happy and prosperous new year.

Kia Motors Makes the ‘Top 100 Best Global Brands’ List

October 5th, 2012 Posted in Motor Shows & Awards,News   

• By Kia BUZZ Editorial Team

Here is something to celebrate about: Kia Motors Corporations made the exclusive list of the ‘Top 100 Best Global Brands’ according to the 2012 study released by Interbrand, the world’s largest brand consultancy agency.

Kia’s remarkable increase in brand value is now estimated at $4.1 billion USD, which firmly sets the automaker at 87th place on the ‘Top 100 Best Global Brands’ list. In the list there are 12 automotive brands chosen. While the average automotive brand value growth rate is 11%, Kia made a whopping 50% increase since last year’s estimated brand value.

The strong increase in Kia’s brand value closely mirrors the company’s recent surge in global sales, which have posted three consecutive double-digit year-or-year gains to cement Kia’s position as the world’s fastest growing major automotive brand. Over the three year period (2008-2011), Kia’s annual global sales have grown by 81% to nearly 2.5 million units.

Advances in product quality, design and innovative marketing were noted as key factors for Kia’s dramatic brand value increase.

Interbrand’s annual ‘Best Global Brands’ study was executed through a comprehensive brand performance analysis using best practice research methodology by expert analysts. The study measures a corporation’s financial performance in terms of the raw financial return to investors; role that brand plays in the actual purchase decision; and brand strength, which is the ability of a brand to secure the delivery of expected future earnings.

We intend on continuing to solidify our brand by providing the best vehicles for fans like you. Thank you for your support for Kia Motors. We’re on full speed now, to be the best global brand we can be.

kia Rio Sedan dan Sorento Jadi Tulang Punggung Baru Kia

Sabtu, 22 September 2012

Perhelatan IIMS 2012 dilirik jeli oleh Kia dengan memperkenalkan dua model baru yaitu All New Kia Sorento dan Kia Rio Sedan. Walau belum meluncur secara resmi, keduanya dipercaya akan jadi tulang punggung baru Kia menghadapi ketatnya persaingan industri otomotif tanah air.

Sorento yang merupakan SUV tujuh penumpang datang dengan mesin Theta II 2.4 L MPI yang menghasilkan power maksimal sebesar 176 ps pada 6.000 rpm dan torsi maksimal 23.1 kg.m pada 3.750 rpm. Mesin itu dikawinkan dengan transmisi otomatis 6 tingkat perecpatan shiftronic.

Mobil ini dilengkapi fitur ABS, ESC, airbag serta dics brake pada keempat rodanya. Dengan adanya 7-seater pada All New Sorento maka susunan baris bertambah satu dengan total tiga baris. Kursi pada baris ketiga dapat dilipat 50:50 sehingga bisa didapatkan kabin yang luas untuk memuat barang bawaan.

"Booking Sorento sudah bisa dilakukan, tapi baru akan resmi dijual akhir tahun ini. Untuk estimasi harga di bawah Rp400 juta," kata Hartanto Sukmono, Direktur Marketing Kia Mobil Indonesia.

Sementara itu Kia Rio Sedan hadir lebih atraktif dibanding versi hatchback. Varian ini sekarang dibekali kapasitas bagasi yang cukup besar namun dari segi fitur dan mesin baik versi sedan dan hatchback tidak memiliki perbedaan.

Dapur pacunya mengandalkan mesin Gamma 1.4 L DOHC CVVT yang mampu menghasilkan tenaga maksima 107 ps pada 6.300 rpm dan torsi maksimal 13.8 kg.m pada 4.200 rpm. Mesin itu dipadukan dengan tranmisi 4 percepatan yang responsif. Estimasi harga disinyalir akan berada di bawah Rp200 juta.[mot/timBX]

Kia Rilis Cerato Taksi, Tawarkan Kemewahan dan Kabin Luas

KIA Luncurkan Cerato Taxi

Kamis, 09 Agustus 2012 22:56 WIB     

Bisnis kendaraan komersil terbilang menguntungkan saat ini. Seperti taksi yang selalu tumbuh tiap tahunnya. PT Kia Mobil Indonesia (KMI) melihat peluang tersebut dengan meluncurkan Cerato Taxi. Menarik, lantaran mereka tidak masuk ke sektor mobil penumpang.
  
“Kami belum siap untuk masuk ke segmen mobil penumpang jenis sedan saat ini. Pajaknya kami hitung masih terlalu mahal, sehingga kalau dipaksakan harga Cerato tidak akan kompetitif,” lugas Hartanto Sukmono, Marketing Director PT KMI, saat peluncuran perdana KIA Cerato Taxi di Hotel Novotel, Kamis (9/8).


Di negara asalnya, Cerato masuk dalam segmen Medium Sedan. Makanya, ia memiliki keunggulan ketimbang taksi-taksi yang beredar di sini. Kabin yang lebih lega dan nyaman. Lengkap dengan bagasi yang dapat menampung banyak barang bawaan. Eksteriornya pun terlihat atraktif dan dinamis.


Cerato Taxi menggunakan mesin 1.600 cc bertenaga 125 dk dan torsi 159 Nm. Tenaga sebesar itu membuat mesin dapat bekerja efisien. Diteruskan ke roda depan via transmisi 6-speed manual. Positifnya, konsumsi BBM dapat ditekan.

“Harga yang kami rekomendasikan untuk Cerato Taxi berada di kisaran Rp 140 juta. Dibandingkan rivalnya, harga segitu sangat kompetitif,” lengkap Hartanto.
