When almost every other SUV in the world are ditching ladder-frames, some remain unicorns. These old-school SUVs are now an oddity, in a good way. Kia Mohave is one among that rare breed, but sadly is not living in our region anymore. In its home market, however, it gets a refresh.
It is no secret that the entire world is moving towards SUVs. And it does not become less of a secret with manufacturers churning out crossovers with names that were once famous for something else. Kia has joined this party with the 2022 Kia Carens.
Kia has been updating their sedan lineup and have been dropping each of their current names in favour of a new alphanumeric naming convention they follow in South Korea. Optima became the K5, and the Cadenza was upgraded by the K8. However their compact sedan, the Kia Cerato has kept its name but has received updates to its face and tech.
A month ago, Kia previewed its all-new 2022 Kia Sportage crossover. The radical styling of the new Sportage caught the interests of many as it enters a segment that bores our eyes. Now, following this reveal, Kia presents more technical details for the compact SUV.
Kia has revealed the official images of the all-new 2022 Sportage, bringing groundbreaking interior and exterior design to a segment littered with boring players.
Here is the list of all manufacturer recalls that were announced in the month of April 2021
With the new Stinger, K5 and K8 coming out in the past few months, Kia is bent on sprucing up their sedan lineup, even as others are trimming their sedan count down to zero. Now it is the time of its compact sedan, the 2022 Kia Cerato. The refreshed Cerato showed its face off in new pictures of the equivalent Kia K3 revealed in its South Korean home market. The Kia Cerato GT Hatchback also gets a preview along with the sedan.
Kia is updating their sedan range one by one. The Optima gave way to the new 2021 K5, followed by the Cadenza, making room for the larger and more upmarket K8. Now, they have taken the wraps off the 2022 Kia Stinger. The facelifted sedan now gets more power across its range.
Kia’s design language revolving around the tiger nose grill transformed Kia cars from being odd-looking copies of other cars to genuinely attractive machinery. Now, 13 years into the life of this design, Kia has now revamped it for the new era. The change in the design language succeeds the launch of their new logo and it debuts on an entirely new offering. This is Kia’s first battery-electric vehicle, Kia EV6.
Even with the SUV pandemic gripping the industry hard, some manufacturers thankfully are still choosing to spend their blood, sweat and tears on perfecting their sedans. One such manufacturer is Kia, launching their updated K5 (formerly known as Optima) last year. Now they have decided that the full-size Kia Cadenza should go upmarket and thus they broke out their drawing boards. Here is the result – the new 2022 Kia K8, a sleek and handsome sedan replacing the Cadenza.
