    2012 KIA SORENTO GAINS 10-POINTS IN RESIDUAL VALUE RATING FROM ALG
    05/31/11 ID: 3798

    2012 KIA SORENTO GAINS 10-POINTS IN RESIDUAL VALUE RATING FROM ALG

    The Kia Sorento has been the brand's best-selling vehicle every month since arriving in January 2010, and with the addition of several enhancements the popular crossover now has one of the highest residual value ratings for the 2012 model year in the compact CUV segment from ALG, the industry benchmark for residual values and a leading provider of data and consulting services to the automotive industry. The rating of 58-percent of original manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for 36 months2 of ownership is a full 10 points higher than the 2011 model year residual value and can be attributed to the Sorento's class-leading horsepower3 and fuel economy4 with the newly available 2.4-liter engine featuring Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI). In addition, consumer demand for Sorento has outpaced expectations, and this momentum reflects the significant residual value increase for the 2012 Sorento.

    06/17/11 ID: 3803

    KIA MOTORS AMERICA BRINGS BACK POPULAR LIFE-SIZE CHILDREN'S CHARACTERS FOR ANOTHER FUN-FILLED ROAD TRIP IN NEW TV SPOTS FOR THE 2012 SORENTO CROSSOVER

    After making a memorable debut during the 2010 Super Bowl, Kia Motors America's (KMA) colorful cast of life-size children's characters are back for another series of adventures in two new 30-second spots for the 2012 Sorento CUV. Titled "Joyride 2," the ads reunite Muno (from YO GABBA GABBA!, the award-winning series created by Christian Jacobs and Scott Schultz and which is produced by The Magic Store and W!LDBRAIN Entertainment) with In My Own Dream Studio's Sock Monkey character (Fox River Mills, Inc.), MR. X (BLABLA KIDS Collection) and a vintage robot and a teddy bear for a memorable summer road trip that includes skydiving, line dancing, a trip to the beach and a fishing expedition. Along the way, the characters interact with the locals – including one very angry bear – and take a spin in the updated 2012 Sorento which now offers class-leading horsepower1 and fuel economy2 with the addition of Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) technology and several new modern amenities such as Kia's new UVO powered by Microsoft®3 hands-free infotainment and communications system.
