KIA Motors through Al Majid Motors has announced that it will bring a refreshed line-up of models to the UAE over the coming months. The popular Optima sedan is due to hit showrooms in July, while the Carnival mini-van is expected to launch in August. The company will also bring the new K900 luxury flagship sedan later this year.
Conceived and created in Kia’s design studio in Korea with collaboration from the Irvine-based California studio, the K900 offers a new standard of luxury with its sophisticated exterior design, beautifully crafted premium cabin, offering the choice of an engine of 3.8L GDI or 5.0L GDI V6 engine. The all-new second-generation model also offers a wide array of high-tech safety, connectivity and driver assistance features including Kia’s UVO luxe1, which is dedicated exclusively to K900 owners and provides them with a full suite of convenient remote features.
The new Optima’s stand-out design sets it apart from other sedans in the mid-size segment. With fresh design cues inside and out, the new model includes European-inspired red and black two-tone sport leather-trimmed seats for extra flair. The vehicle’s advanced driver assistance technologies include Forward Collision Warning, Driver Attention Warning and Lane Departure Warning, ensuring the safety of everyone on board. For ultimate hands-free ease, the Optima also features an improved voice recognition system that allows drivers to make calls, send and receive messages, and listen to music while remaining focused on the road.
The Carnival delivers the height of convenience with its ample passenger and cargo space. Recent upgrades keep it ahead in the mini-van segment, where it offers greater style and advanced technologies, including a system that helps to detect collision risks, alert the driver and automatically apply the brakes. With newly designed front and rear fascias, the Carnival now features a rear-seat entertainment system along with other convenience features that keep the model up-to-date and add more refinement. The Carnival’s tried and tested 3.3-litre V6 engine can now be paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission for an enhanced drive.
Customers are encouraged to book test drives at their nearest Al Majid Motors Co. showroom to discover the latest upgrades to Kia’s dynamic line-up and experience the Optima and Carnival out on the road. As for the K900, it will be available in the UAE in the near future with the option of 3.8L GDI and 5.0L GDI engine.
