A new partnership has been formed between Kia Motors America (KMA) and the non-profit organization, Hire Heroes USA. Through this new partnership, KMA has made an initial donation of $25,000, and they have made Hire Heroes USA the official charity partner of the of the 2016 LPGA Kia Classic. As such, the organization will receive a portion of the proceeds collected through ticket sales.
Hire Heroes USA is an organization that is dedicated to helping retired military veterans find a way to use the skills they learned in the military to forge a successful career as they transition back into civilian life. The organization includes teams of Veteran Transition Specialists that are spread out in seven different areas across the U.S. Most of these specialists are military veterans and have been through this process themselves. The organization provided one-on-one support through internet or telephone coaching to help make the transition easier and inspire success.
“Kia is grateful to the brave men and women who have served our country, and we are proud to partner with Hire Heroes USA in an effort to empower military veterans and their families,” said Tim Chaney, vice president, marketing communications KMA. “Naming Hire Heroes USA the official charity partner of the 2016 LPGA Kia Classic will help raise awareness for the important career services they provide to veterans and their spouses, and we hope through this partnership to count some of those heroes as part of the Kia team in the near future.”

Kia Releases Two New Spots for 2016 Optima
Since its release, the 2016 Kia Optima has been changing the game for the midsize sedan segment. While many midsize sedans are boring and similar, the Optima stands out from the crowd. Kia Motors America has released two commercials to highlight the Optima difference in two ads called “Rocket” and “Rubik’s Cube.”
“Rocket” opens with a six-year-old in a toy rocket. Kia explains in the spot that rockets are intended to thrill, but leave little kids feeling largely unimpressed, similar to the midsize sedan market. We see the striking 2016 Kia Optima cruise by the little boy as Kia explains the Optima sets itself apart with a turbo engine and sport-tuned suspension.
“Rubik’s Cube” opens with the infamous 80s game as the narrator explains that it is complicated, frustrating, and a real challenge, much like the entertainment system in most mid-sized sedans. Luckily for 2016 Kia Optima drivers, the car supports Apple CarPlay, making it as easy to pull up apps and music as it is on your iPhone!
Watch the videos below, then come into King Kia to see the 2016 Kia Optima for yourself!

Kia Offers Customers A Ride In New Models
Kia knows that no matter how much effort you put into designing and developing a new vehicle that it means nothing unless you obtain the seal of approval from your customers. At the recent Anaheim and Miami Auto Shows Kia Motors America put several of their new models on display and offered some attendees the chance to take them out for a test drive along with a Kia representative to point out all of the new features along the way.
The vehicles that were part of this test drive experience included the Sorento, Soul EV, K900, Soul, and Forte. All of the drivers appeared to be quite impressed with the easy ride and handling of each vehicle along with the quick acceleration capabilities and several advanced technology features available on some of the models such as four-way cameras, panoramic sunroofs, easy exit function, rear power sunshade, Infinity Sound System, and much more.
Check out the video below to hear more of what real Kia customers had to say about these all-new models.
Kia Motors America has announced it is expanding its line of eco-friendly vehicles with the unveiling of the 2017 Kia Optima Plug-In Hybrid. The Optima Plug-In Hybrid will join the all-new 2017 Niro Hybrid Utility Vehicle and all-new 2017 Optima Hybrid in the sub-brand Kia Motors EcoDynamics. All three vehicles will be host to several stylish features and technological upgrades.
The 2017 Kia Optima Plug-In Hybrid includes an upgraded and powerful 2.0-liter “Nu” Four-Cylinder GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) Engine paired with a Six-Speed Automatic Transmission. The electric component includes a transmission-mounted 50 kW motor. Together, it is 42 percent more powerful than the preceding Optima Hybrid, and a 20 percent improvement in engine efficiency altogether.
Other features of the Optima Hybrid’s all-around upgrades are Harman/Kardon QuantumLogic™ Premium Surround Sound Audio System, which includes 10 speakers and Driver Assistance Technologies like Blind Spot Detection, Advanced Smart Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning System, and Front Collision Warning System.
“As part of our bold initiative to increase fuel efficiency by 25 percent across the entire Kia model lineup by 2020, a plug-in hybrid was a critical addition to our offering. The Optima HEV adds hybrid efficiency to the standout styling and vehicle dynamics of our all-new Optima, and the PHEV takes things one step further with all-electric range that is among the best in the segment,” said Orth Hedrick, vice president, product planning, Kia Motors America. “All three of the vehicles being introduced here at the Chicago Auto Show are emblematic of Kia’s commitment to sustainability and our philosophy that you shouldn’t have to accept compromises when making a green choice.”
We can’t wait to see this car on the road!
