Kia CUB Concept with a 1.6-litre GDI

Kia CUB concept (CUB) utilises a 1.6-litre GDI (gasoline direct-injection) engine, which is going to be used in the new Kia pro_cee’d GT and cee’d GT. The new powerplant is fitted with a twin-scroll turbocharger that allows it to pump out 201bhp and 265Nm of torque. Mated to a six-speed manual transmission, the engine allows the CUB to sprint from 0-100km/h in 7.7 seconds and top out at 230km/h

LED lights illuminate both the front headlamps and the rear taillights, which is a must on concept cars these days. The CUB rolls on very busy looking 19-inch alloy wheels, but being a concept vehicle, its expected. Kia says that the smooth exterior design will provide the Kia CUB with ultra-low aerodynamic drag, which would allow it to slice through the air cleanly

The New KIA Cadenza 2014

Under the new Cadenza’s hood, Kia installed the most powerful V-6 engine it’s ever offered, a 3.3-liter version with an output of 293 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 255 pound-feet of torque at 5,200 rpm. The engine features technologies like direct injection (GDI), dual continuously variable valve timing for improved fuel economy and performance, a maintenance-free timing chain, and a three-step variable induction system for enhanced torque.

The engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission equipped with a Sportmatic manual shift mode and paddle shifters flanking the leather. All the power is sent to the front wheels.

As standard features, the model is equipped with a sport-tuned fully independent suspension with a McPherson strut setup in front and a multilink rear design, and a High Tensile Steel (HTS) system which helps improve torsional rigidity.
