2010 brings significant changes for Kia’s growing fleet. The all-new Soul is a boxy wagon that is reminiscent of the Scion xB and Honda Element. The youthful five-door Soul is built on the Rio platform and has a host of standard features at an attractive base price.
Just like a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, the Kia Spectra and Spectra5 have been deconstructed and rebuilt to become the all-new 2010 Kia Forte compact sedan and Forte Koup two-door coupe. The Forte comes with a host of standard safety features, and like its competitors (Honda Civic, Ford Focus and Toyota Corolla), receives excellent fuel economy.
After breaking onto the scene last year, the seven-passenger crossover Borrego SUV remains unchanged for 2010. The Borrego features a 276-horsepower V-6 and a 337-horsepower V-8.
The Sedona minivan is available in both short- and long-wheelbase versions. A standard 250-horsepower V-6 engine complements the ample interior and standard safety features. The stylish and roomy Rondo compact crossover includes a standard auxiliary input jack for MP3 players, and an optional 175-horsepower engine.
The 2010 Sportage continues to compete in the compact SUV class with room for five, the choice of either a four-cylinder or V-6 engine and four-wheel or all-wheel drive.
The midsize Optima sedan received an interior and exterior redesign last year and boasts a sporty SX trim, four-cylinder or V-6 engines and decent fuel economy.
Meanwhile, the affordable subcompact Rio sedan and flexible Rio5 hatchback get a minor facelift with a revised grille and front and rear bumpers.
Fans of the Amanti and Sorento will be disappointed to find out that those models have been dropped from the 2010 Kia lineup.
