In the market for a new or used car? Have you perhaps considered a Kia? With an expansive dealer network across South Africa and a reputation for reliability, Kia has become synonymous with stylish everyday cars with generous comfort features. From the tiny Picanto to the feisty new Stinger, there's a Kia in the line-up for everyone. Let's take a look:
Once upon a time in the winter of 2016, I took the Soul on a road-trip of note to the lesser-known parts of the Garden route and beyond. Be sure to read this if you're considering the Kia Soul 1.6 DCT DSL SMART.
7000 Kays in Seven Days
In September 2017 we also took a Soul on a more hardcore road-trip across various types of terrain, including the hair-raising Sani Pass, to spread hope and cheer (as well as hand out toys and cupcakes) to children battling cancer. What an adventure it was! And the Soul kept impressing us.
2. #Get in the all-new Picanto
Maybe a little city slicker is just what you need to keep fuel costs low. Why not take a look at the latest Picanto? Farzana Chaumoo attended the launch of the Kia Picanto when it launched in July 2017. You can read her first drive impression here.

3. 2019 Kia Grand Sedona & Sorento
If you've ever considered a luxury minibus or large MPV, the Kia Sedona is going to blow your socks right off. Hello, 2500 km road trip!
You can also more about the brand new Sorento, just in time for 2019.
4. The Sorento as the family SUV
At the very end of 2015 I drove the 2016 Sorento which, as is customary, was available to media earlier than the release date:
"Two new Kia Sorentos have been spending some time at the office and beyond, doing what family cars do best. My colleague tested the entry-level Sorento 2.4 LS, while I got to drive the flagship model, the Sorento 2.2 CRDi SX AWD. " Click to read Can the Sorento satisfy a hurried, petrolhead mother-of-two?
Don't miss Chad Lückhoff's video review if you're considering a 2017 Sportage:
"With an all-new design and a host of technology injected into the package, the new KIA Sportage hopes to continue the success that the previous generation enjoyed. We drive the new KIA Sportage in a 2.4 GDI SX AWD Auto trim to see if this one has what it takes to be a winner."
