KIA have another new car, or should that be, the roads have another new SUV. It’s inspired on the new KIA Rio
Marketed against the Nissan Juke, Renault Captur and Hyundai Kona.
It’ll sit below the KIA Sportage and Sorento.
Three engines, a 1.0 (118bhp) litre turbo and 1.4 (99bhp) litre petrol and a 1.6 (108bhp) diesel. All are manual with an auto coming for the diesel later on.
It’s looks okay but could literally be any small SUV, they all follow the same simple pattern of plainness.
On the stage it looks nice.
But on the road is where were going to see it.
Personally only the Carens.
and Pro_Cee’d GT interest me.

True with the Cee’d, why is there an apostrophe in there?
But then they came out with the Pro_Cee’d with the lower whatever it is between the ‘Pro’ and the ‘Cee’d’!?
The rest of the names aren’t bad.
Carens (not just Caren, but Carens with an ‘s’!?),
Niro,
Optima,
Picanto,
Rio,
Sorento,
Soul,
Sportage, and
Venga,

The picanto is okay. A colleague just replaced her Mazda 2 for a KIA Rio. It’s quite a nice car, spacious and comfortable, not sure I say the same for the Picanto. Though it’s certainly a better car than it’s predecessor.
A flat mate had a Picanto as a student union car, shared out between about a dozen members. (I was the only one who ever cleaned the ruddy thing). Underpowered, deadly on an open road with a side wind where you had to steer into the wind to keep going in a straight line.
I got what you meant with the cat naming thing. Lol.
