Every year, J.D. Power releases its rankings on how consumers feel about their cars after their purchase with the J.D. Power Initial Quality Study, and Kia continuously ranks high on that list. In fact, Kia claimed the top spot in both 2016 and 2017. Keep reading to discover why drivers love their Kia vehicles. Comfortable Interiors When Kia starts designing new features for its vehicles, it keeps in mind what consumers have to say from the survey results. This helps the company create a comfortable interior designed around the needs of the driver and passengers. From the compact cars to the SUVs, you'll find impressive standard and available features. For example, the top-ranked Forte comes standard with conveniences that include remote key less entry and a six-way adjustable driver's seat. more Sharp Exterior Style Choose a Kia vehicle and you'll enjoy excellent exterior style and features. For instance, go for the top-ranked Kia Cadenza to get impressive exterior features, such as heated side mirrors with built-in turn signal indicators, a smart trunk that can open automatically if you stand behind it with the smart key, LED headlights and taillights, and halogen fog lights. You can also opt to get available features that include rain-sensing windshield wipers, a windshield wiper de-icer, and a panoramic sunroof. Excellent Safety Features Kia includes several active and passive safety features in every vehicle to ensure you have peace of mind each time you head out on the road. To help you avoid a collision, the available autonomous emergency braking system monitors the road ahead for potential obstacles, and it automatically applies the brakes if it senses the driver not reacting in time. The lane departure warning system is able to detect the lane you're driving in and alert you if you start to drift from that lane. If there is a collision, Kia vehicles include a full set of air bags, including a driver knee air bag, driver and passenger seat air bags, front and rear side air bags, and curtain air bags. These air bags work together to protect you and your passengers no matter how you're impacted. Additionally, every Kia vehicle comes with seat belt pretensioners, which hold you firmly to your seat just before and at the beginning of a collision before allowing you to come in contact with an inflated air bag in a controlled way. Advanced Technology Along with some of the latest safety features, Kia drivers also love the advanced technology they can get in their vehicle. The available UVO infotainment system offers plenty of convenient features. For example, with Parking Minder, if you forget where you park your car, UVO can send you its location directly to your smartphone. If you want to keep your Kia running smoothly for miles to come, UVO can schedule recurring diagnostic checks to help you monitor all of your systems. From good looks on the outside to top features on the inside, if you're interested in discovering why Kia keeps topping the J.D. Power Initial Quality Study, stop by your dealership and check out some of the top models.   Photo by Kia

The good news is our cars have gotten more secure and harder to steal when they're sitting in the driveway. However, the bad news is that means if thieves want to steal a car they have to do it when it's running, which means they might attempt a carjacking. While it hopefully never happens to you, here's what you need to know about preventing, avoiding, and surviving a carjacking. Park in a Well-Lit Area According to the National Crime Victimization Survey, one-quarter of all carjackings happen in parking lots or parking garages. When you pull into a parking lot or garage, try to park in a well-lit area near the entrance of the building. Also try to avoid parking next to large vans, near wooded areas, or close to anything else that can block your view and give thieves a place to hide. Finally, consider backing into the parking space. In an emergency, it's easier to quickly pull out of a parking spot than trying to back out of one. more Lock Your Doors While it's obviously important to lock your doors when you arrive at your destination, you should also keep your doors locked and your windows rolled up as you're driving. Additionally, when you come to a stop at a stoplight, make sure you leave enough room between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you to quickly pull away if something happens. Put Down Your Phone We all know it's dangerous to use our phones while driving, but you also shouldn't be looking at your phone when you're approaching your vehicle or even just sitting in the driver's seat and waiting. When you're looking at your phone, you're distracted and not paying attention to your surroundings. Thieves know this and they might take that opportunity to strike. Have Your Keys Ready As you're approaching your car, you should always be paying attention to your surroundings. Look for anyone who's hanging around nearby, including people handing out flyers, asking for directions, or looking for money. Also, have your keys in your hand before you get to your vehicle. This way, you're not standing outside your car searching for them and making yourself a prime target. If anything doesn't feel right, turn around and go back to where you came from.   By following these tips you can do your best to prevent and avoid a carjacking. However, if one does occur, you also know what you need to do to survive the experience.

If you are looking for a new vehicle that is loaded with new features, here are three things you'll love about the 2018 Kia Optima. more Blind Spot Detection Many accidents occur because our vehicles have blind spots.

The Kia Optima has some of the best cargo space in its class. It is designed with a large trunk with plenty of space for packages. Combined with a wide opening and a deep height, the trunk is more than enough for most things that you would carry on a regular basis. The automatic trunk system is also useful for getting things in and out of the trunk hands-free. It is location activated, so the trunk will open if you are standing in front of it with the key. You won't have to struggle with keys and packages anymore.

Car companies are working hard to develop and integrate new technologies that you want. Safety features are a big part of the technology trend, but luxury features are on the rise as well. Kia continues to find and integrate new technologies as they become available. The result is a brand of cars that routinely boasts the latest technology options. If you are looking for a car with the best new features, then here are four Kia tech features you'll dig. more Smartphone Integration One of the coolest features included in Kia vehicles is the technology to connect to your smartphone. Since most people use their smartphones to navigate, make calls while on the road, and listen to music, the ability to easily connect to your phone greatly improves your driving experience. Now, Kia vehicles come equipped with several options including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as Bluetooth. Regardless of which technology you need, Kia vehicles have the ability to connect to your smartphone. Rear Camera Display Accidents usually happen when you collide with something behind you that was in your blind spot. Unfortunately, cars may never get rid of their blind spots. However, Kia is integrating rear camera displays to help maximize driver visibility. A camera in the rear of the vehicles can see directly behind your car. When backing up, the system turns on automatically and shows what is there on the touchscreen. That way, you can avoid any hidden obstacles. Assistive Services Despite the best planning, you may need specialized help at times. Kia makes it easy for you to reach out when you need it with assistive services. If your Kia has a mechanical failure and you need to pull over, you can get roadside assistance. The onboard system can help you connect with roadside assistance services at any time.

With a Kia, you can run an automatic diagnostic that can pinpoint the source of the problem. That will, at the least, help you keep some peace of mind. The diagnostic program also runs automatically in the background to look for problems that you may not be aware of. It is like having a second pair of eyes that always check to see if your car is in the best shape possible. Kia continues to find new technologies that make driving safer and more enjoyable. To get the latest information about Kia's newest features, visit your local Kia dealer today. The dealers can tell you more and show you some of these new technologies first-hand.
