The A team is here!
The 2009 Kia line-up has arrived, and they are well worth waiting for.
Ready for action is the award-winning '09 Rio. One of the greenest vehicles in North America (GreenerCars.com), the Rio's 1.6 litre 4-cylinder engine makes city commutes or out-of-town travel fun with plenty of pep and easy maneuverability. Maximum fuel efficiency of up to 5.6L/100km (50 mpg) on the highway also means fewer pump stops! There's also great interior comfort with tons of head and leg room, and all-important safety.
Easy to look at too is the '09 Rio 5. Spirited, sporty and functional, this five-door hatchback model delivers in fine style - more than living up to Kia's reputation for affordable quality.
Another Kia dazzler is the 2009 Spectra, a four-door sedan that's also sporty under the hood with a 2.0 litre, 4-cylinder engine with 138 hp.
It's got power to spare, with the Kia trademark of outstanding fuel efficiency. Spacious, lively and built to fit your lifestyle, the '09 Spectra not only makes driving a pleasure, but owning one means feeling reassured with an abundance of advanced safety features.
Also offering the WOW factor is the sleek, meticulous crafting of the 2009 Spectra 5 - the five-door hatchback that boasts the same powerful 2.0 litre, 4-cylinder engine with 138 hp. With plenty of capacity in its roomy interior, safety is also key in the '09 Spectra 5. A winner that will delight at first sight - and now both models cost less!
There's always a place in the showroom for a proven superstar - the luxurious 2009 Magentis that "...hits above its price class in terms of space, quality and feature content." -- Laurance Yap, Toronto Star.
Freedom on the road with either of its two high-intensity performance engine packages - with increased output! Sleek new styling means added beauty, and mega comfort is drivng ease at your fingertips with a new interior, standard power windows, heated side mirrors, and more - and there's also available tilt and slide sunroof. There's lots of luxury in an '09 Magentis, but not at the expense of safety with this sedan's six standard airbags, available Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Traction Control System (TCS). The Magentis definitely turns heads, and now has new SX trim, and fabulous new options - including in-dash navigation and a premium audio system.
The excitement continues with the 2009 Rondo, an urban utility vehicle of role model status. A handsome four-door hatchback, you can expect the power and versatility of an SUV - combined with the performance and safety of a sedan.
"I liked the Rondo so much that my wife made me buy one ... nothing speaks more highly of a car than that." - Graeme Fletcher, National Post
You can choose between the 2.4 litre, 4-cylinder engine with 4-speed Steptronic automatic transmission, or the available 2.7 litre, V6 with a 5-speed Steptronic automatic transmission. There's available seating for seven, a spacious interior, available Sirius Satellite Radio (three free months), new Base trim, air-conditioning, and lots of standard safety.
With impressive increased engine output, the '09 Rondo is a leader when it comes to performance, comfort and economy.
The next showroom hit is the 2009 Kia Amanti, a pleasing blend of sophistication and power. With its 3.8L DOHC 264 hp V6 engine that produces 260 lb.-ft. of torque, every moment in the Amanti will be a memorable one. What better way to enjoy luxury and convenience than to experience its personalized seat memory settings and its sumptuously lavish interior? Advanced safety features make for a confident drive, added Sirius Satellite Radio and new Base trim in cloth make for an easy decision
- you must own an 09 Amanti!
Also creating industry buzz is the adventurous 2009 Kia Sportage. Power and versatility are this vehicle's trademarks. From its available 2.0 litre, 140-horsepower, 4-cylinder engine or a 2.7 L, 173-horsepower, aluminum block and head V6 engine, to 60:40 split-folding rear seats and 8-way adjustable driver's seat, drive to arrive in comfort and style. The exterior and interior are new on the '09's, and Sirius Satellite Radio (three free months) is also available now, and even more fabulous available goodies means the '09 Sportage is the perfect way to experience life in overdrive!
Carving its own niche in this exciting line-up is the 2009 Kia Sorento - power personified. You can choose between the 242 hp, 3.3-litre, V6 engine or the robust 262 hp, 3.8-litre, V6 engine - capable of towing a remarkable 2,268 kg (5,000 lbs.). Rugged, and proud of it, the '09 Sorento has standard 4-wheel drive, with available electronically controlled Torque-On-Demand®. Add independent suspension, standard electronic stability control )ESC), traction control system (TCS) and so much more - owning a Sorento just makes good sense.
That's pretty much how those who enjoy the little luxuries of life feel about the new 2009 Kia Sedona. An appealing blend of power with it's spirited V6 engine, and comfort - you'll settle in with ease as you take control of this gorgeous automobile.

A new Base trim has even been added with budget-conscious consumers in mind.
"The new Sedona just has to be on your shopping list." -- Jim Kenzie, Toronto Star
Staying ahead of the curve too is the all-new 2009 Borrego. Talk about excitement! The Borrego is a bona fide jawdropper with its sleek sassy styling and exceptional performance. Every drive is a great one, and you'll get there with confidence with either a V6 or available V8 engine with class-leading towing capacity. There's space to spare inside too, with oodles of hi-tec and room for seven. The '09 Borrego was born to thrill.
There's even more excitement on the 2009 horizon fuelled by the impending arrival of the all-new concept cars: Soul and Koup, as well as the new Spectra sedan.
