Kia Magentis
The 2009 Magentis from Kia has benefited from several aesthetic touch-ups that have provided a more mature and most certainly more elegant silhouette. These changes should allow it to shine in the market of intermediate vehicles, so popular in America. In terms of mechanics, motors have been improved. The 2,4 litre four cylinder motor has gone from 162 to 175 horsepower, while the 2,7 litre V6 has inherited of 190 horsepower, a fivefold increase in power. The interior and the dashboard have been entirely redesigned.
