Kia: Seven new models by the end of the year
KIA MOTORS There is hardly a brand in Switzerland that gives its new Managing Director as many attractive models to launch as Kia with Peter Fahrni. In the last weeks of the year, there are no less than seven. With a smile, Peter Fahrni answers the question of how he will bring so many new products under one hat: [...]
With a smile, Peter Fahrni answers the question of how he will bring so many new products under one roof: "Let's be honest, what could be better for me? I'm taking over a well-developed range, we have the right model for every need in the program. The dealer network will also be happy with this situation, and then there's the fact that Kia models have attractive residual values as used cars."
Warranty
Peter Fahrni continues: "Not to forget, of course, our seven-year factory warranty, limited to a maximum of 150,000 kilometers, of which the first three years are unlimited. The warranty is free of charge and is transferred to subsequent owners, provided the vehicle has been maintained in accordance with the service plan. That in itself is an important argument for the purchase decision." So who is which model for? Peter Fahrni classifies the innovations according to target groups.
Kia Optima SportsWagon Plug-in Hybrid
"This is a car that is ideal for fleet operators. Families also travel comfortably on vacation with this car. There's plenty of space. Purely electrically, you can drive a good 60 kilometers."
Kia Rio
"A perfect city car. As a 5-door, it will go down well with families. The design is fresh and modern. The radiator grille in tiger nose design is striking."
Kia Picanto
"A city runabout made for the city. The Swiss City Line and GT Line variants will be of particular interest to young people. The price clearly plays a role here."
Kia Stonic
"Alongside the Stinger, the Stonic is one of our very latest models. The model is a crossover in the classic sense. The large air intakes and optimally designed underride protection show its character."
Kia Sorento facelift
"The muscular and characterful design of the Kia Sorento,is evolutionary. Its sleek and sinuous profile gives the Sorento a particularly bold presence on the road."
Kia Carens facelift
"Whether work, hobby or family outing - the new Kia Carens New Generation is the perfect companion. Because it combines spaciousness and flexibility with high comfort, modern technologies and safety solutions."
Kia Stinger
"An athlete as accustomed to success as Rafael Nadal must have had something in mind when he chose a Stinger. The overall appearance of the sedan is both striking and graceful. It simply has everything that makes for truly strong Gran Turismo: dynamic handling and a high-quality interior. Its V6 engine produces 370 hp, and the sprint from zero to 100 takes 5.1 seconds. With it, every kilometer driven is a unique experience. The car is good for our image, so we can show what's technically feasible for us."
