They just keep getting better. These are the first official images of what the new Kia Magentis will look like and who is to say that it can be anything close to being ugly?

 

These official images will be showcased at this year's New York Motor Show in April and will be released in American and Korean showrooms to consumers later in the year. No news yet about its arrival here in Singapore but that's always the case with new cars. We just cannot deny the fact that we are still too tiny and insignificant to the world. And that's a pity because I'm sure many potential car buyers, in this segment especially, will be looking forward to this particular model which sits in the large family saloon category, and more often than not for most Kias these days, they are affordable and value for money.

Chief designer Peter Schreyer has not missed a beat with Kia's designs and this is no exception. The new Magentis is said to be longer, wider and lower than the outgoing model, and it also features a longer wheelbase. As for the engine, details are still under wraps but sources say that there will be a 2.0 litre petrol and diesel unit which will be the main powerplant for the Magentis with a chance of smaller capacity engines if there is sufficient demand.

 

This will definitely be a car to look out for in the next 2 years or so as its release in Europe is scheduled to be in 2011. So maybe we'll hear from Kia then..

  • Is this a sign of better things to come for Manchester United?

    Yes, this post was made a mere two days after Manchester United’s statement win over defending champions Liverpool on their home turf, our first since 2016. Yes, I’m still basking in the afterglow of a much-needed victory. And yes, like everything concerning my beloved club, Twitter has been awash with the usual dross of dreamers, realists, and pessimists. Seriously, I saw a few tweets and comments saying that we could win the league. Really? With a midfield leakier than Rebekah Vardy’s mou

    I never knew Monster Trucks were so popular here

    Although it appeared to be selling out fast back when my friend shared the link to the Monster Jam Singapore event some months ago, I could never expect just how popular the event turned out to be until the day itself. You see, originating in the USA, Monster Trucks aren't really an international phenomenon, unlike F1 or other forms of motorsports. Even someone like me, who's very interested in cars, doesn't really know much about these massive machines. And yet, on the day of the even

    JMEV ELIGHT: Tech, Style and Value

    High-tech and stylish electric vehicles doesn’t have to be expensive and inaccessible - the JMEV ELIGHT, which offers all you want in an affordable package, is now available in Singapore. Singapore’s car industry has never seen so many new brands within a given time span since forever - I can easily count more than 10 EV brands that has entered the market within the last couple of years. And it is a great phenomenon for car buyers - whether you are someone that’s intending to buy your

    Listening to music while working: Does it actually help?

    It’s likely a common sight in every office you set foot in: Workers with their heads buried in their desktops/laptops, earbuds dutifully plugged in (or headphones chucked on). Having a tune to go into battle alongside you against anything that happens at work seems to be as essential as having a caffeinated drink perched on the table, it seems. Thus also arises the question, however: Does a symphony of melodies really serve as the secret ingredient to unlocking peak productivity? The debate
