Kia is still moving full speed ahead on developing fuel cell technology for their vehicles. For its part, Kia has released new footage of their latest fuel cell prototype, the Borrego/Mohave FCEV. (The Borrego is badged as Mohave in the Korean market). The video explains some details of this latest-generation hydrogen test vehicle that we weren't aware of before. While the base Borrego is a rear/all-wheel drive body-on-frame SUV, the FCEV drives the front wheels through a 110 kW AC electric motor. The fuel cell stack is located under the passenger compartment and puts out 115 kW. Interestingly, Kia claims its stack is designed to work with air at ambient pressure, eliminating one of the issues of other fuel cells – the need for a compressor. Kia also claims its fuel cell can utilize 98 percent of all the hydrogen to produce power. Electrical energy from regenerative braking is stored in a super-capacitor module and then released for extra power boost when needed. Kia does not say what the capacity of the 700 BAR hydrogen storage system is, but the range of the vehicle is claimed to be 425 miles. Kia is still planning low volume series production in 2012 and mass production three years after that.

2011 crossover a bigger, better, more fuel-efficient version of its former self

The Sorento from South Korea is assembled at a plant in West Point, Ga., the first Kia produced in the U.S. And depending on with whom the crossover might travel, the navigation system offers English, French and Spanish settings.

It's so new it skips 2010 and goes directly to a 2011 model year designation when it goes on sale in January. Sorento not only has been redesigned, it also has grown, with length expanding 3.2 inches. So Sorento, for the first time, now sports a third-row seat to handle a couple munchkins.

It's also 1 inch wider, perhaps necessitated by Mom, Dad and the kids munching a bit more than usual.

Sorento is offered with a choice of front- or all-wheel drive and in base, LX or EX trim. Other than new body and new features, the big change for 2011 is a new focus on fuel economy.

Sorento's thirsty 3.3-liter, 242-horsepower and 3.8-liter, 262-hp V-6 engines teamed with 5-speed automatics have been replaced by a 2.4-liter, 172-hp 4-cylinder and a 3.5-liter, 273-hp V-6 with a new 6-speed automatic. The base two-wheel-drive model also offers a 5-speed manual.

Thanks to the upgrade, the 2.4-liter 4 offers 21 mpg city/29 highway in 2WD and 21/27 AWD, while the V-6 moves to 20/26 2WD and 19/25 AWD. That's a significant gain from 15 to 16 mpg city and 20 to 22 highway in the previous V6s. The V-6 has plenty of energy to run with the pack on the interstate and does so without lots of racket, so you can talk, rather than yell, in the cabin. For motoring security, stability control is standard. And full-time AWD is a plus for the Snow Belters. Push a button on the instrument panel and you can lock AWD into "low" mode for deep snow, sandy beaches or going farther off-road than the shoulder to reach the mailbox. With off-roading in mind, hill-start control is standard so the vehicle doesn't slip when getting going on an incline. To allow for AWD and snow of all accumulations, the vehicle stands high. All four doors have built-in bottle holders (signs warn not to attempt cans). The center console has two cupholders. There is small stowage space under the center armrest, where you'll find a key fob recharger to keep the push-button keyless ignition working. At the front of the console, Kia pays tribute to techies by housing iPod, auxiliary and USB plugs between a pair of power plugs. Other nice touches are a fuel-filler door-release button in the driver's door, a handy storage tray at the front of the center console and pull-out shades in driver/passenger sun visors. No pricing yet, because it doesn't go on sale until next month, but the base model probably will start at about $20,000 and the top-of-the-line EX with V-6 about $25,000. Add about $2,000 for AWD.

2010 Kia Forte Koup Side-by-Side Comparison

Kia introduced its new Forte sedan in 2009, re-establishing the company as a player in the compact-car segment with an affordable alternative to the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla.

The Koup aims to do the same versus other two-doors. The Koup has a lot going for it, especially its attractive styling and gutsy engine in higher trim levels, but it doesn't beat the competition on price.

The Exterior

The best thing Kia has done with the Koup is embrace a design philosophy that isn't boring. The car's design looks familiar, yet daring. The back really makes a statement, with dynamic taillights and a black lower air diffuser that create what could easily be the most aggressive look in the class.
The Interior

The SX trim level comes with an all-black interior, which makes it seem more like a sports car. The EX comes with a tan interior, called Stone. Piano-black plastic runs down the center of the dash and over the stereo and climate controls, which definitely adds some flair. Most of the controls and buttons show the strides Kia has made in refinement.

Performance

Generally, when you get an economy car you don't expect much in the driving-thrills department, but the upgraded 173-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder in the SX is quite capable. A 156-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder is standard in the base EX. The six-speed manual transmission is terrific when accelerating quickly through the gears. The steering is one of the car's better attributes, and the car is a joy to drive.

Mileage

is rated at 25/34 mpg city/highway for the EX with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission, 22/32 mpg for the SX with a six-speed manual and 23/31 mpg for the SX with a five-speed automatic.

Features

The Forte Koup starts at $16,595.

Kia offers a lot of standard features at that price, including 16-inch alloy wheels, a six-speaker stereo, a USB interface and iPod connectivity, cruise control and, surprisingly, Bluetooth for hands-free calling. Moving up to the higher-powered SX costs an additional $1,100, starting at $17,695 and adding the more powerful engine, 17-inch wheels, a trip computer, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, fog lights and a sport-tuned suspension. Leather seats are optional on either trim for $1,000, as is a power moonroof for $700.

Safety

The Forte Koup does not come up short in the safety department. It features all the standard airbags, along with seat-mounted side airbags and active head restraints for front passengers. Stability control is also standard.

Sizzling Limited-Run Special Edition Soul Hits Dealer Showrooms- Ignition Soul offers scorching new color, prominent wheels and rally-inspired skin- Second in line of special edition Souls offers same value, safety and myriad personalization options as the original Kia Soul
IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Kia Motors America (KMA) today announced the arrival of the special edition Ignition Soul, the second of four special edition Souls to roll into dealerships. The 2010 Ignition Soul, named for its unique exterior color treatment, extends the youthful urban passenger vehicle's radical styling even further and demonstrates Soul's expansive list of personalization options.

This second special edition Soul offers consumers yet another opportunity to find a Soul as unique as their own personalities and is matched with impressive fuel economy figures and standard safety features.
"Soul continues to demonstrate its styling versatility and ability to evolve," said Michael Sprague, vice president of marketing, KMA. "Ignition Soul offers consumers yet another way to express their individuality in a new way, packaged with the same value, safety and technology as the standard trims."
Exclusive to the Ignition Soul is a unique ignition orange exterior color, striking black 18-inch alloy wheels with machined accents, an athletic-looking body kit and rear spoiler found standard on sport trims, an alloy fuel door for an even more contemporary appearance and a bold off-set black racing stripe to complete the overall appearance. Like the previously launched special edition Denim Soul, Ignition Soul is based on the Soul+ model and is fully loaded with the Audio Upgrade Package (center speaker, subwoofer, external amplifier and speaker lights that pulse to the beat of the music), an iPod® connection cable for full functionality via the radio head unit and steering wheel controls, carpeted floor mats, moon roof, fender vents with side marker repeaters and fog lights. The special edition Ignition Soul starts at $17,500(1) with a five-speed manual transmission.
Building from the Soul+ model, Ignition Soul also offers standard keyless remote entry, privacy glass on the rear and rear side windows, body-color door handles and dual body-color power side mirrors. Soul+ offers additional standard features including cruise control with steering wheel-mounted controls, Bluetooth® hands-free connectivity, dual 12-volt power outlets and tweeter speakers, all enhancing creature comforts on the road, as well as a covered upper storage bin, dual visor vanity mirrors with covers and dual map lights. Black cloth seats are adorned with Soul logo inserts, further personalizing the cabin.
About the Kia Soul
The Soul has won numerous accolades since arriving in dealerships, including two "Top Safety Pick" awards from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, a "2010 Automotive Excellence Award" by Popular Mechanics, a "Super Value Award" by The Active Network, Inc., being named to Ward's Autoworld's "Interior of the Year" list for "Grooviest Interior," named to "2009 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000" list by Kelley Blue Book's Kbb.com, among several others. Available in four trims, Soul, Soul+, Soul! (exclaim) and Soul sport, pricing for the versatile five door begins at $13,300 for the base trim, while Soul+ starts at $14,950. Enhancing to the Soul! or Soul sport offers a price beginning at $16,950.
Standard Kia Safety Features
Soul continues to offer the same high level of standard safety equipment as all new Kia vehicles, including front seat active headrests, dual front advanced airbags, front seat-mounted and full-length side curtain airbags. An Antilock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control System (TCS), Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist System (BAS) and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) also are standard. Front and rear crumple zones, side-impact door beams, impact-absorbing steering column and Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system also come standard on all Soul models, making for a comprehensive list of standard safety features.
Industry-Leading Warranty
Like all new Kia models, Soul is covered by a comprehensive warranty program, which offers unprecedented consumer protection. Included in this program are a 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, a five-year/60,000-mile limited basic warranty, and a five-year/100,000-mile antiperforation warranty. A five-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance plan also is part of the comprehensive coverage program.
