Roll up, Roll up, it's that time of year again! Yesterday saw the Geneva Motor Show once again and Kia certainly did not disappoint.
It may surprise you to know that it takes a lot to glue me to my twitter feed all day, the Brexit vote, the US Presidential Election, and seemingly now, the Geneva Motor Show too! Obviously I was keen to see what's in store for Kia over the next 12 months, but I'm not afraid to say that I was also excited to see what we'd be competing against too.
The Niro and Optima were there in all their glory, showing off our sleek hybrid offerings. Having recently seen my first Optima Sportswagon in the flesh recently, I can personally attest that they are a mean looking beast. It instantly turned my head and although I normally opt for smaller models, even I wouldn't kick it out off my driveway!
Of course the fun and funky new Picanto stole the show, showing that it is possible to be angelic and aggressive all at the same time (who knew?!). The new Picanto GT looks funky but I bet it's functional too, whilst all the while turning heads wherever you go.
As expected, the Stinger took centre stage. Imposing and impressive, I personally cannot wait for the Stinger to arrive later in the year. It reminds me very much of a top of the range Audi (unsurprising given who designed it) but with Kia's functionality and new found confidence. You can tell just from the picture's that this is going to be an absolute beast and I reckon it'll be a bit of a game changer for Kia. Watch this space come Q4!
