2014 Kia Ratings, Reviews and Awards
For years, Kia’s had an impressive lineup of cars, hatchbacks, SUVs, crossovers, and more, yet it continues to improve its offerings with each model year, slowly creeping into the realm of luxury by including more standard comfort and technology features in its vehicles. For 2014, Kia put significant effort into making the Forte a higher-end compact car with perks like optional heated seating and push-button start and a standard infotainment system with smartphone connectivity. For the Optima came new interior design options, including sleek brushed metal trim, smart key and keyless entry systems, and an 8-inch touchscreen with navigation. The brand’s introduction of the Cadenza, a large luxury sedan, made for an exciting addition to the unclaimed spot in Kia’s line, boasting a V6 engine, surround audio system, smartphone connectivity, and an array of standard safety features like stability control and overhead airbags.
