Autocar Rating
Kia's answer to Korean rival Hyundai's Sonata and it's pretty much the same deal: a large, plush, glitzy saloon of the type Japan used to specialise in. Majors on the novelty of offering so much luxury acreage for so little cash and, as such, is a bit like a sugar rush: great for a while but then there's the inevitable downside: depreciation.
