Avalanche of new arrivals at KIA

NISSAN expands its SUV line

The past few months have been a whirlwind of unveilings for Kia with the early-2017 reveal of new generations of the Cadenza, Forte and Sportage, and the Korean manu- facturer isn’t planning on slowing down any time soon. In addition to the all-new Niro, the 2018 model year marks the debut of a next-generation Kia Rio and a fresh four- door version of the Stinger coupe.

A simple look at Nissan’s impressive list of recent announcements is enough to predict a record-breaking sales year for the Japanese manufacturer. The all-new Qashqai and next- generation Armada have raised the number Nissan SUVs to five. What’s more, Nissan has democratized its NISMO performance line by introducing what it calls a “Sentra on steroids.” The Versa Note also underwent some cosmetic changes, with a new V-sha- ped radiator grille and sleeker headlights that give it a more youthful look. QASHQAI While the Qashqai is a newcomer on the North American scene, it’s already enjoyed steady success across the pond since its Eu- ropean launch in 2007. Halfway between the Juke and the Rogue in both pricing and size, the Qashquai is a foot shorter than the latter,

SENTRA NISMO The Sentra NISMO is the newest addition to Nissan’s long line of sport compact sedans, from the legendary Datsun 510 to the origi- nal Sentra SE-R. The NISMO edition stands out from other Sentras thanks to its aerody- namic spoilers, chromed exterior trim, 18- inch 10-spoke wheels, sporty seats and lea- ther steering wheel, among other features. To power its 188-horsepower 1.6L turbocharged engine, buyers can choose between a short- range manual transmission and an evolved CVT box. Both the suspension and direction systems have been reinforced for an enhan- ced driving experience.

RIO 5 As for the new Rio 5, its body has been rede- signed to achieve a sportier look, while its wheelbase was extended to provide extra le- groom and better handling in all conditions. Similarly, new models sport a reinforced chassis, a firmer suspension and better stee- ring. Their 1.6L 4-cylinder engine has also been tweaked to reduce fuel consumption and enhance mid-range torque. CADENZA Another new-and-improved model of note is the Cadenza, which was enti- rely redesigned by Kia’s California stu- dios. The spacious sedan now sports a more dynamic look with its new grille and headlight designs. Its structure has been reinforced for improved com- fort and handling, and its interior now offers more legroom for passengers. Finally, the Cadenza’s 3.3L V6 engine has been modernized and is now cou- pled with a new 8-speed automatic As for the spectacular 2018 Stinger, which is shaping up to be a solid rival of the Audi A4 and BMW 3-series, buyers can choose between two engine configurations: a turbo- charged 2.0L 4-cylinder (255 horsepower) and a 3.3L twin-turbo V6 (365 horsepower). transmission.

making it a superior choice for city driving (and par- king!). While it sports the same modular build as the Rogue (and while both ve- hicles are available with a choice of either front-wheel drive or intuitive all-wheel drive), the Qashqai is dis- tinguishable by its 141-hor- sepower 2.0L 4-cylinder engine (the Rogue’s 2.5L 4-cylinder outputs 170-hor- sepower). The Qashqai can

The Kia Niro

NIRO The Niro, a hybrid-powered hatchback cros- sover, is in direct competition with the Toyota Prius V and the Ford C-MAX. Under the hood is 104-horsepower 1.6L Atkinson cy- cle 4-cylinder engine coupled with a 43-hor- sepower electric motor, for a total output of 139 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque. Kia is also planning to release a rechargeable hy- brid model in the near future.
