Last year, it was the Sedona -- a successful debut of Kia's affordable minivan. This year, Kia will introduce the Sorento, a mid-sized SUV that has more power and size than the Sportage.
Seems like Hyundai's acquisition of Kia has spurred product development. Or perhaps it's the reaction to their new vehicles -- Kia sales were up almost 40% last year, and with a new SUV on the road in 2003, they're poised to keep the momentum going.
  Kia Optima
 Â
MSRP Range: $14,899 - $18,849
NO signifcant changes are planned for 2003.
Â
  Kia Rio
 Â
MSRP Range: $9,095 - $10,385
The "lowest-priced car in America" will get significant improvements in 2003, including a new and more powerful 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. Also new is the front and rear-end styling.
Â
  Kia Sedona
 Â
MSRP Range: $18,995 - $20,995
No significant changes are planned for 2003.
Â
  Kia Spectra
 Â

No significant changes are planned for 2003.
Â
  Kia Sportage
 Â

The Sportage takes a sabbatical, as the Sorento will be introduced in 2003. Look for a new Sportage in 2004.
