NADAguides.com, the leading provider of vehicle pricing and information, today announced the 2010 Kia Forte has received the NADAguides.com “Car of the Month” award for August. Though the competition in this segment is strong, the Forte is a top contender with a long list of “Best in Class” features and great looks both inside and out. This brand new entry to the compact sedan market has consumers taking a serious look at Kia.

“It’s tough to find a weakness in the Forte. With a stylish and comfortable cabin, excellent fuel economy, great safety features and a ‘Best in Class’ engine, the Kia Forte is everything you need in a car,” said Michael Caudill, NADAguides.com Auto Expert. “Add in the low price point and a 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, and the Forte provides an exceptional value in the hotly contested compact sedan segment.”

The 2010 Kia Forte is available with a choice of two engines: a 2.0L DOHC 4-cylinder producing 156 hp or a 2.4L DOHC 4-cylinder making 173 hp. 2.0L models are paired with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, while transmissions for the 2.4L models each receive another gear. With either engine, Forte drivers can expect plenty of performance and great fuel economy. EPA estimated figures are 25 city/34 hwy mpg for the 2.0L and 23 city/31 hwy for the 2.4L. For even fewer trips to the pump, the Fuel Economy Package (available with EX trim only) adds electronic power steering, a smart alternator, low rolling resistance tires and aerodynamic improvements to achieve 27 city/36 hwy mpg.

On the inside, the Kia Forte is a pleasant place to pass the miles. All trims come standard with Bluetooth hands-free calling and an AM/FM/CD/MP3 radio with SIRIUS satellite radio and iPod connectivity. EX and SX trims add steering wheel mounted controls, cruise control, optional sunroof and available with heated leather seats.

Standard safety features include a 4 wheel anti-lock braking system, electronic stability control and dual front, side and full-curtain airbags. Further peace of mind comes in the form of a low $ 13,695 base price and Kia’s 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty.

Sydney, Australia (Vocus) September 7, 2010

Proving that the spirit of adventure still burns brightly within the Kia DNA, a team of 13 drivers and support crew left Seoul on August 5, on a journey of 12,000 kilometres across some of the world?s most isolated country to the heart of Russia, Moscow.

The modern day caravan will arrive in the Russian capital just in time for the all-new Kia Sportage to take pride of place on the stand at the Moscow International Motor Salon (August 25 ? September 5).

The route takes the vehicles from Seoul, on a ferry to China, north towards Mongolia and the Gobi Desert, before entering the team?s native Russia for the last leg of the odyssey.

Kia Motors Russia is hosting the program for a group of prominent travel bloggers and their video crew. Three professional drivers with previous experience on the route will accompany the team and take part in the adventure.

“We chose this route because of the exotic locations from Asia through to Russia,” said Mr. Tak-Uk Im, President of Kia Motors Russia. “The all-new Sportage CUV will hold up to the long challenge providing great comfort for the team, and turn heads along the route for its great design.”

The team will be riding in a fleet of three 2.0-litre diesel Sportage SLi vehicles with added fog lights and roof storage boxes; no other changes have been made to these quality new cars in preparation for the two and half week journey. The team plans to drive a minimum of 600 kilometres a day, while allowing for two to three hours for filming each day.

To document their journey, the official [Kia Russia blog will be updated daily along with regular Tweets through Twitter – Kia Motors Russia. Once in Moscow, fans are invited to view photos and video materials created during the race on display at the Kia stand of the Moscow motor show, along with one of the Sportages used during the trip.

“We hope this trip will bring awareness to the quality and durability of Kia products,” says Andrey Matveev, Head of PR, Kia Motors Russia. “With it launching soon in Russia, we?re confident this will generate a lot of interest from those who are looking at a quality SUV for their next car purchase.”

The Russian market has seen dramatic growth and marked a 107.5% sales growth rate in the first half of 2010.
