2017 promises to be an exciting year, especially with the introduction of Kia’s latest models, which deliver the same reliable service you expect combined with all-new features and styles. From the Kia Forte’s new Blind Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist to the range of slick LED lights sported by the new Kia Soul, Kia’s New Year’s resolution was all about maximizing comfort, safety, and style for its vehicles and giving you a look into the future of automobiles.
Features
While there have been many additions to the models we offer at Rusty Wallace Kia, we believe these are some of the features that really put the 2017 stamp on our inventory:
Forte
- The Kia Forte’s Rear-Camera Display, which alerts you with a light on your outside rear view mirror and an audible warning when it detects other vehicles crossing your intended path
- The Forte’s Perimeter Approach Lighting and Door Handle Pocket Lights, which illuminate when you return to your car, making it much easier to get into your car at night
Sorento
- The Kia Sorento’s three engine options: the fuel-efficient 2.4-liter/4-cylinder, the 2.0-liter turbo engine and the 3.3-liter V6 AWD, which has a 5,000-pound towing capacity
- The Sorento’s Clari-Fi Audio, which is engineered to automatically restore music’s rich sound details, while the Infinity Surround Audio System brings you clear, true stereo sound with a 10-speaker system
Optima
- The Kia Optima’s headlight control with dusk sensor
- The Optima’s height-adjustable driver and passenger front seat belts
Additionally, Kia uses the Apple CarplayTM UVO as an option for several models, a convenient app that gives you direct access to your iPhone on your dashboard
Design
It’s not just an upgraded array of bells and whistles for Kia’s latest models that makes them especially exciting—it’s also the new designs, which modernize their exteriors and interiors to make them as sleek (and safe) as they are comfortable.
The Sorento has a larger signature “tiger nose” grille, stainless steel bumper trim, and a redesigned front fascia that boasts long, swept back Projector Beam Headlights and alloy wheels. With a wider wheelbase, you have more room in the cabin, with seating for up to 7. This gives the classic model an upgrade in both comfort and convenience, which is perfect for carpooling or long drives.
The Forte is available in three trim packages: the Forte LX, the Forte S, and the Forte EX, all of which include standard safety features like lower anchors and tethers for children, full-length side curtain airbags, hill start assist, side impact door beams, front and rear crumple zones, and front active headrests to protect your head and neck in the event of a collision.
