2020 Honda Civic near Santa Fe NM Can’t Touch the 2020 Kia Forte

Honda has begun releasing information on the 2020 Honda Civic near Santa Fe NM, so shoppers are now comparing it to the new 2020 Kia Forte. While the 2020 Civic is a strong competitor in the market, our research shows the 2020 Kia Forte comes out ahead in several categories. 

Model Information: 2020 Kia Forte vs 2020 Honda Civic near Santa Fe NM

For starters, the Kia Forte recently underwent a complete redesign, with the 2020 Kia Forte near Santa Fe NM being the second generation of that redesign. Though the Kia Forte's redesign was fairly recent, and the design is still very fresh, Kia introduced the GT trim for the 2020 lineup. This trim boasts a race-inspired exterior and a sporty interior to match. In addition to the sporty look, the 2020 Kia Forte GT trim adds a revamped suspension system. 

On the other hand, the 2020 Honda Civic near Santa Fe NM is on its 10th generation, with the last major redesign being in 2016. Honda has not announced another redesign, so we expect the 2020 Civic to be a carryover model. This means major changes are unlikely. The 2020 Civic will likely keep its sporty look, Si and Type R trims, hidden interior storage cubbies, and large infotainment screen. 


Interior Features

Several cool upgrades were added to the 2020 Kia Forte. Opting for the Kia Forte GT adds the option for a power sunroof, LED overhead lighting, wireless charging, a 4.2-inch LCD screen, dual-zone automatic climate controls, and an 8-speaker Harman Kardon audio system. Also available are a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat and heated and ventilated synthetic leather sport seats. All Kia Forte GT trims come standard with the same 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto found in the 2019 model. 
As with exterior changes, we anticipate the interior of the 2020 Honda Civic near Santa Fe NM to remain largely unchanged. Some 2019 model features we expect to see return in the 2020 model include a multi-angle rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity, four-speaker audio system, 5-inch LCD screen, and automatic high-beams. 


Safety Features

Similar to the 2019 Kia Forte, all 2020 Forte trim levels feature the standard Kia Drive Wise safety suite. This suite of advanced driver-assist technologies features lane keep assist, forward collision warning, forward automatic emergency braking, and a driver attention and drowsiness monitor. The upgraded packages add features such as lane change assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control. 

Since the 2020 Honda Civic near Santa Fe NM does come standard with the Honda Sensing safety suite, it falls short of what Kia Drive Wise offers. More features are available on Kia's standard Drive Wise package than are available in the upgraded Honda Sensing package. 


Power and Performance

Those looking for a performance sedan on a budget will appreciate the 2020 Kia Forte's GT trim. This sedan is sure to satisfy your need for speed, powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine pumping out about 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. 
Under its hood, the 2020 Honda Civic will sport the same 158-horsepower 2.0-liter engine and standard six-speed transmission. A CVT transmission is optional. Select trims will offer a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 174 horsepower. Though this is a decent option, the
Kia Forte outperforms the 2020 Honda Civic in this category as well. 


Cost 

Official prices for the 2020 Kia Forte have not yet been released, however, we expect the cost to be only slightly higher than the 2019 model year to accommodate for added features. 
Honda made a significant increase in the starting price of the 2020 Honda Civic Type R to $37,230 though no significant upgrades have been made for the new model year. The 2020 Civic does not have an official release date yet, but we expect to see it in stores before long. 


Model Review

Though both vehicles are competent competitors in their market, the 2020 Honda Civic cannot touch the 2020 Kia Forte when it comes to features, safety, performance and cost. To find out more about how the new Kia Forte beats all its competition, visit us at Fiesta Kia in Albuquerque. 

Take the 2020 Kia Forte for a Spin in Rio Rancho NM and Discover Its Exciting Features

The 2020 Kia Forte near Rio Rancho NM just debuted at the SEMA show in Las Vegas last October, but now you can now find this eye-catching vehicle at Fiesta Kia. You'll find several improvements in performance as well as brand new, exhilarating features in this model compared to the 2019 model. 

New Trim Levels

The 2019 Kia Forte first came in four trim levels (FE, LXS, S, and EX), and this time around Kia took the good and upgraded it. The 2020 Kia Forte is introduced in five trim levels: FE, LXS, EX, GT, and GT Line. If these options aren't enough to quench your thirst for Kia, you can take it up a few notches by adding the GT1 or GT2 package.

While the Kia Forte has just undergone a complete redesign in its 2019 model, the 2020 Kia Forte near Rio Rancho NM doesn't forget to bring out something new with the GT and GT Line trims. These two trims are sporting exterior upgrades inspired by race cars: aggressive grille with glossy black color and red accents. You'll also get projector headlights with daytime LED running lights as a standard setup. One of the differences between the GT and GT Line's exterior lies in the wheels. The GT Line has a 17" sport alloy wheels with graphite finish, while the GT trim comes with 18" alloys with two-tone finish.

If you want to boost your 2020 Kia Forte's looks, choose the GT1 or GT2 package. You'll be spoiled with the power sunroof, wireless smartphone charging, LED overhead lighting, a 4.2" center LCD screen, and an 8-speaker Harman Kardon sound system. With the GT2 package, you'll also get heated and ventilated SOFINO synthetic leather sport seats with 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat.


Upgraded Engine in the 2020 Kia Forte near Rio Rancho NM

Four of the 2020 Kia Forte trims (FE, LXS, EX, and GT Line) come with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that tops at 147 HP at 6,200 RPM, which can also be found in the 2019 Forte. However, the GT trim level gets the 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that maxes at 201 HP at 6,000 RPM. The 2.0-liter engine has 132 lb-ft of torque, while the 1.6-liter has 195 lb-ft.

All trims come standard with front-wheel drive and a six-speed manual. The difference is in the automatic transmission. Compared to the 2019 model's continuously variable-speed automatic transmission, the 2020 Kia Forte near Rio Rancho NM gets an additional transmission option; the Infinitely Variable, 7-Speed Dual-Clutch Automatic Transmission that is available only on the GT trim level. The other four trim levels are mated to Kia's Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) found in the 2019 model.


Driver Attention Warning

The 2020 Kia Forte boasts a brand-new safety feature that you can find in all of the five trims. This new Driver Attention Warning feature is designed to protect against distracted or drowsy driving. The system will learn the driver's habits and when it detects changes in vehicle behavior, a warning chime will sound and there will be a visual display suggesting the driver take a break.

In all, the 2020 Kia Forte does come with cool, exciting improvements that you need to experience first-hand. If you want to get a taste of the 2020 Kia Forte near Rio Rancho NM, come test drive the Kia Forte today at Fiesta Kia. 

Try These Kia Features in Albuquerque NM for All Seasons

Kia is your vehicle for all seasons, all the year through thanks to their Kia features in Albuquerque NM. Kia's commitment to quality, performance, and safety provides you confidence when driving during the spring, summer, winter, and fall. Autonomous Emergency Braking will apply the brakes to help avoid an unexpected forward collision when the vehicle ahead of you suddenly stops in the springtime when the flowers are in bloom and it will keep you safe under the April moon. 

Drive in Comfort All Year Long with These Kia Features in Albuquerque NM

Some incredible Kia features in Albuquerque NM include Lane Departure Warning (LDW) System and Forward Collision Warning (FCW) System. LDW uses cameras to sense your lane ahead and warns you if you sway, drive recklessly, or become drossy while driving. FCW uses a camera to monitor distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you, helping you to safely reach your springtime hiking, skiing, or festival, adventures.

Kia is your vehicle for all seasons with its Blind-Spot View Monitor's live feed of your blind spots displayed on the dashboard. When changing lanes, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist-Rear detects objects in your blind spots. It'll keep you on your way in summer when you're dreaming about playin' in the sand.

On your way to a summer adventure - maybe floating on the river, visiting breathtaking waterfalls, or star gazing - Kia sends you off with an extra set of eyes that monitor various vehicle and driver responses. Driver Attention Warning alerts the driver when it senses distracted driving. 

As the seasons change so does tire pressure. Kia Tire Pressure Monitoring System monitors the air pressure throughout the seasons and alerts you when your tire pressure is low. With these Kia features in Albuquerque NM you are sure to be on time to find the perfect pumpkin, successfully explore a corn maze, or visit an apple orchard.

You may get distracted when autumn leaves are falling from the trees with the anticipation of ripening pears and vibrant red foliage. Suddenly the vehicle ahead of you slows down or stops, and Forward-Collision-Avoidance Assist alerts you or applies the brakes, if necessary, to avoid a potential collision.

Kia features in Albuquerque NM are even helpful when driving on snow-covered roads with your hands fixed on the steering wheel, your eyes directed at the road ahead, and high beams shining bright leading the way. High beam Assist automatically toggles between high beams and low beams even if you forgot you high beams were on. 

Whether you are taking a spring, summer, winter, or fall road trip, driving through unfamiliar cities can be a challenge from changing speed limits to unexpected curves in the road. Kia mitigates this with Highway Driving Assist. This feature adjusts your cruising speed to a safe distance from the vehicle ahead as well as communicating the speed limits for the area if available. Lane Following Assist works with Highway Driving Assist in using road markings to keep you in your lane, even on unexpected curves.

We've all had one of those moments, especially during the holiday season, when backing out of a parking spot; you've looked behind you both ways and checked it twice then you begin to back up when, out of nowhere, there's a vehicle behind you! Now, with Rear-Cross-Traffic Collision Warning's visual and audible alerts, you'll know when a vehicle is coming from either side before backing up.

You'll be safe in winter when the snow is on the ground, as you drive along billowy white, twisting roads. Set your Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go and it will instinctively apply the brakes or accelerate to maintain your preset distance from the vehicle ahead of you. Just relax and steer.

Kia features in Albuquerque NM also include four strategically mounted cameras displaying nearly a 360 view of your surroundings with Surround View Monitor to give you clear visibility no matter the weather. 

Apple CarPlay uses voice command to send text messages, play your music, or talk to Siri, Android Auto sending/receiving texts using your voice, access Google Map, and other apps via Kia's touchscreen. Haptic Steering Wheel, combined with Kia Drive Wise Systems, vibrates the steering wheel and alerts the driver of potential threats. Alerts are provided when occupants are exiting the vehicle with Safe Exit Assist when a vehicle, pedestrian, or a bicycle approaches.  

Stop by today; Fiesta Kia's team is excited to demonstrate the features for all seasons.

Kia Maintenance in Albuquerque NM

For several years, Kia has built reliable cars. Kia maintenance in Albuquerque NM is important to ensure your Kia vehicle lasts as long as it was meant to. Drivers must remain current on a regular service schedule. Since manufacturers don't always have the same maintenance schedules, we've put together a guide to help ensure you stick to the proper Kia-approved intervals. In addition, we've included some of Kia's maintenance plans to help cut down on out-of-pocket maintenance costs. 

 

Routine Kia Maintenance in Albuquerque NM, Simplified

The best part about choosing a genuine Kia maintenance plan may be the ease of having Fiesta Kia keep track of all your Kia maintenance needs. Or maybe it's the ability to pre-pay for your routine maintenance. Either way, a Kia maintenance plan is the way to go! With three different plans to choose from, there's a plan for everyone. 

Kia Care Plan

The most budget-friendly Kia maintenance plan helps to maximize the life of your engine. An engine oil and filter change along with a multi-point inspection are covered every 3,750 or 7,500 miles, depending on the Kia's year and model. A multi-point inspection covers the following: 

    • Oil and fluid check

    • Front and rear brakes

    • Brake lines, hoses, and parking brake

    • Drive axle boots

    • Exhaust system

    • Drive belts

    • Cooling system and hoses

    • Steering

    • Suspension (damage, leaks, struts, and shocks)

    • Battery performance and terminals

Kia Care Plus Plan

The next step up to cover the cost of your Kia maintenance in Albuquerque NM is the Kia Care Plus Plan. This plan gives you peace of mind everywhere you go by adding tire life to the mix. In addition to what's included with the Kia Care Plan, drivers with this plan get a tire rotation every 7,500 miles, key replacement services, and a Driver's OneCard Membership for cross-country perks. 

Key replacement services under this plan are available in the event of a lost, stolen, or destroyed key or key fob. In these cases, Driver's OneCard will cover the cost of repair or replacement up to $400 per single incident per year. Computerized lost key retrieval may also be available as a safe and effective way to retrieve lost or stolen keys. 

Driver's OneCar Membership includes 24-hour roadside assistance, emergency towing coverage, lockout protection for up to $50 per occurrence, and trip interruption reimbursement for up to 5 days at $100 per day maximum. 

Kia Care Premium Plan

Kia's top maintenance plan helps you breathe easy with premium care covering everything inside the cabin and out. Included with this package are all the same coverages of the Kia Care Plus Plan with some additional features. The additional features include climate control air filter replacements every 15,000 miles and engine air cleaner filter replacements every 30,000 miles. 

Certified Kia Maintenance Plans

A drawback of buying pre-owned vehicles is often the lack of a maintenance plan. Kia combats this by offering maintenance plans on certified pre-owned Kia vehicles to keep your vehicle running like new. 

Easy Maintenance

Kia Maintenance in Albuquerque NM has never been easier thanks to these plan options. Maintenance can be scheduled in advance, online or over the phone, at your convenience. Services can be performed while you wait, or you can pick up the vehicle when the service is complete. Our service team at Fiesta Kia looks forward to helping you with all your Kia service needs. 

Disclaimer: Choose from either the 3,750-mile or 7,500-mile interval plan. Consult your owner manual for what's right for your vehicle.  This page contains a general summary of features that may be included with the optional Kia Care Choice Maintenance Plan. Additional terms and conditions apply; for exact coverages, exclusions and limitations, please see your participating Kia dealer and review the relevant Kia Care Choice Maintenance Plan contract, and the Driver's OneCard Guide to Membership.

Kia Dealers in Albuquerque Reveal Tips to Keep Car Running Smoothly

If there is one thing that technology did for the car industry, it’s the fact that modern vehicles are more reliable today than it was a decade ago. Indeed, most contemporary vehicle models can easily last beyond the 200,000-mile mark with proper care and maintenance. For Kia owners around Albuquerque, this is certainly good news, as it means that they can drive their cars longer. There’s also the side benefit of saving a significant amount of money, since you don’t have to buy a new vehicle every 100,000 miles or so.

For this reason, Kia dealers in Albuquerque, NM are more than happy to share some helpful tips on how to keep your car running smoothly for longer.

Buy a reliable vehicle.

According to Kia dealers in Albuquerque, NM, the first thing to do to ensure that your vehicle will last long is to buy a model with an excellent reliability record. This means conducting some comprehensive research and relying on data from organizations like the NHTSA on safety ratings. It also doesn’t hurt to choose a vehicle that you are willing to drive for as long as possible. When shopping for a Kia, choose a model with features that make driving more enjoyable

Follow a rigid maintenance schedule.

The car owner’s manual usually spells out the schedule of oil and filter changes, tire rotations, and other maintenance services. It is also recommended that you visit a mechanic whenever a problem, no matter how minor, occurs. This is to ensure that the problem won’t get worse as time goes by.

However, it is entirely possible to fall into the pitfall of over-maintenance. For Kia drivers near Albuquerque, this meant being wary of dealers and shops who offer maintenance services that are not specifically called for in the owner’s manual. 

Over-maintenance includes too frequent fluid changes and filter replacements, or using additives that were not recommended by the manufacturer. When you over-maintain your vehicle, you only add to your expenses with no measurable benefit (i.e. the ‘special’ additive did not visibly enhance your engine’s performance).

Regularly inspect all major parts (plus other items).

You don’t have to wait for your scheduled visit to a Kia dealership to check your car if it’s still roadworthy. Make it a habit to inspect your tires, belts, and your car’s fluids before going out for a drive. Tires must be properly inflated to reduce the possibility of an accident. Tire pressure inspection should also include your spare, since it is entirely possible to lose some tire pressure even when the tire is not in use.

Aside from tires, you should also inspect if your car’s fluids are still at acceptable levels and if your belts and hoses are still free of any signs of wear and tear. A simple inspection can tell you if you need to visit your mechanic for a part replacement or a fluid change.

Lastly, don’t forget to check other items like air filter and wiper blades. A faulty wiper blade can cause window streaks, which in turn can lead to accidents especially when your driving in bad weather conditions. Air filters, on the other hand, needs to be replaced at least twice a year.

3 Simple Maintenance Tips to Care for Your Kia Car near Rio Rancho

How many miles would you like to get out of your car? Is 150,000 miles enough, or do you want to be one of those rare people who can get up to 500,000 miles from their vehicle? If you ask the experts at respectable dealers, such as a Kia dealership near Rio Rancho, there’s only one way to achieve this coveted mileage: by actually doing maintenance.

You might be rolling your eyes now, but once you finish reading these three steps suggested by the pros, you’ll definitely be open to changing your mind. Here are the three things you need to do to keep your car in top shape.

Check Your Oil Levels

One of the worst offenses that cause massive reduction in engine performance is friction-heat. Friction generates heat and eats away at your car’s moving parts. Less friction means smoother rides and longer-lasting engine, which will ultimately translate to higher mileage. To minimize friction and its evil by-products, you’ll need a sufficient amount of oil to lubricate all necessary parts. 

This is why checking the oil levels is an integral part of basic car maintenance. This won’t take too much of your time and it only involves a few steps. With your car parked on level ground, simply remove the dipstick from the oil tank, wipe it clean, put it back in all the way, and pull it out. You can see the current level of your car’s oil with this simple procedure.

Use the Manufacturer’s Recommended Fuel Octane Rating

Real car enthusiasts know this: higher octane doesn’t necessarily mean more power. Of course, this is the case for certain types of cars: for one, sports cars that run on very high compression ratios actually need high octane fuel to prevent knocking or detonation. However, if your car doesn’t have higher compression engine and you drive mainly to commute or transport people and cargo, stick to regular fuel or whatever the manufacturer recommends in the owner’s manual. Let’s say the manual recommends the use of high octane premium gasoline: don’t waste money on fuel that your car doesn’t really need.

Keep Your Car Looking Fresh

While it’s true that washing your car every so often can dull its paint, it doesn’t mean you can’t do anything to keep its luster for years. Detailing your car in a correct and efficient manner is crucial to keep its shine. 

One of the very first tips car experts would give you is to wash off bird droppings as soon as you notice any. There are damaging chemical compounds in bird poop that can dull and destroy your car’s paint. Leaving it for too long under the sun can make matters worse. A simple solution of water and soap can take care of this for you, though wax can make removing bird poop a little bit easier. Car waxes and polishes are very sophisticated these days. Using a superior quality product to detail your car can give it better protection and produce great, longer-lasting results.

For routine maintenance, it’s a good idea to visit dealerships as they can conduct a full tune-up and properly maintain your car. Check out Fiesta Kia for more helpful tips on easy maintenance steps for cars.

5 Feature Highlights of the 2020 Kia Niro in Albuquerque NM

The all-new 2020 Kia Niro in Albuquerque NM was just featured at the Geneva Auto Show, and now it has found its way to Fiesta Kia. For the latest model, Kia took the best features from last year’s model and made them even better. 

With the latest version, Kia justified its position as one of the top hybrid and electric SUVs on the market by adding cool new upgrades on both the Niro’s interior and exterior. To name a few, the 2020 Niro comes with a new infotainment screen and freshly installed active safety features that are now made available to the US market. Additionally, the 2020 Niro will come in an all-electric model as an addition to the hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. There’s a lot to love with all these updates, but let’s see what other features are coming to the 2020 Kia Niro in Albuquerque NM.

Performance

The 2020 Kia Niro comes in three versions, all of which are powered by a front-wheel drive system. The EV is equipped with a single-speed direct drive, while the two hybrids use the six-speed dual clutch auto transmission with SportMatic shifting. 

All three trims are equipped with an exceptional suspension system: the MacPherson front struts and rear torsion beam with coil springs. With this system, drivers can enjoy a smooth ride even when maneuvering tight corners. The braking performance is also stellar, thanks to the four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes. Whether it’s through rain, sleet, or snow, you’d better believe the Niro will get you through it.

The 2020 Kia Niro in Albuquerque NM Puts Safety First

Safety is one of the first priorities of any Kia vehicle. The 2019 Kia Niro was awarded a full five-star safety rating by Euro NCAP for its advanced driving assistance pack. For the 2020 version, Kia continues to bring plenty of active safety technology to the Niro to anticipate and avoid potential collisions. The anti-lock braking, stability control, and electronic brake-force distribution will protect drivers from spinning or sliding on wet surfaces. There are sensors and cameras that will help the brake assist system to sense and avoid collisions as well.

Engine

There are two types of engine used by the 2020 Kia Niro in Albuquerque NM. The hybrid models sport a 1.6 L, four-cylinder engine, which works in tandem with an AC magnet motor to produce 139 HP and 195 lb-feet of torque. On the other hand, the electronic model comes with a 201 HP electric motor and 291 lb-feet of torque. Instead of fuel, the EV model uses a battery with 356 V, 64 kWh rating that is effective for approximately 240 miles.

Exterior

The Niro comes with some significant updates for 2020, especially with its exterior design. One of the most noticeable design changes is its LED headlights. The 2020 version sports angled headlights go downward into the redesigned front bumper. The taillights have also been replaced with LED bulbs and the rear bumper is now adorned with a chrome skid plate. While the changes make the Niro looks bolder, the vehicle still maintains its low-profile feel.

Interior

The dashboard in the 2020 Niro has been improved as well. The materials are now sport a glossy black trim and softer finish. The infotainment system and 8-inch touch screen remain mostly the same, though now you can opt for the 10.3-inch touch screen with updated software.

The 2020 Toyota Corolla in Albuquerque NM: Consider the 2020 Kia Forte First

When it comes to sedans, the Toyota Corolla line might first come to mind. People often choose this as their first car since it offers a unique level of safety features. Therefore, you can expect all these features and more in the 2020 Toyota Corolla in Albuquerque NM. Apart from a complete overhaul on its design, the Corolla also comes with a hybrid option and a great sense of sophistication.

 You can opt for the comfortable, overdone choice with the Corolla, or you can go with the more unexpected choice that is the 2020 Kia Forte. Now in its third generation, the Kia Forte continues to produce a line of winners with five trim levels--a step up from the last model year’s four. With its sports car-like appearance and quality engine, the Kia Forte promises to be the most powerful sedan on the market today.

Let’s put these two models side by side and see how each performs.

Space and Comfort

Those who are after a midsize car would be satisfied with the space offered by the 2020 Toyota Corolla in Albuquerque NM. It has an overall width of 70.1 inches and height of 56.5 inches. While a car this size has a lot of advantages, the Forte may be a lot more comfortable compared to the Corolla.

Space, on the other hand, won’t be a problem with the 2020 Kia Forte. Everyone can enjoy spacious head- and legroom in the Forte, whether you’re in the front or the back. In fact, not only is there enough space for you and your passengers, there’s even room to spare for all your cargo.

Exterior Details

From afar, the Corolla and the Forte seem similar, but as they say, the devil is in the details. For starters, the 2020 Toyota Corolla likes to keep things simple when it comes to exterior design features.

While the Corolla exudes an air of simplicity, the 2020 Kia Forte boasts simple elegance, particularly in its GT-Line trim. This trim is accented with 17-inch alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights and taillights, and gloss black accents. This vehicle is a stroke of elegance.

Infotainment Features

The Toyota Corolla offers a standard infotainment system, which can easily be integrated with Apple CarPlay and Amazon’s Alexa. Sadly, Toyota’s own infotainment system is known for its tendency to lag or glitch. Other features such as heated front seats and in-car Wi-Fi may act as a temporary distraction from the low-quality infotainment system.

The Kia Forte, on the other hand, utilizes Kia’s easy-to-use infotainment system to provide hours of entertainment. This vehicle even offers a power sunroof and wireless charging capabilities. For a touch of luxury, you can opt to upgrade to a Harman Kardon sound system as well.

There’s the safe choice, the 2020 Toyota Corolla in Albuquerque NM, then there’s the exciting, advanced 2020 Kia Forte. Experience the Kia difference firsthand when you test drive the Kia Forte at Fiesta Kia.

Why the 2020 Honda Fit in Albuquerque NM Can’t Compete With the 2020 Kia Soul

Every driver has their own set of wants and needs in a car. City drivers tend to be partial to smaller vehicles, which fit more easily in tight parking spots and typically boast a better mpg rating. In addition, these cars must offer all the right features. Fortunately, two car models fit the bill: the 2020 Honda Fit in Albuquerque NM and the 2020 Kia Soul.

Based on their exteriors alone, you may think the Fit and the Soul come from the same make. They share comparable dimensions, molded with similar shapes, and even powered by the same type of four-cylinder engines. Don’t be deceived by appearances, though; the Honda Fit and the Kia Soul are entirely different animals, and one of them easily trumps the other.

 Subtle Differences in Shape

The 2020 Honda Fit in Albuquerque NM may not be the darling of city-dwellers for much longer. Though it retains much of the design elements from the previous version, including large windows and a tall body frame, Honda has added roof rails and a chunkier lower body cladding to the new Fit. Based on these new elements, Honda appears to be adopting crossover-like features into their famed car to better compete with vehicles like the Kia Soul.

The 2020 Kia Soul, on the other hand, isn’t keen on making major changes just yet. In fact, with a 6.7-inch ground clearance and a few updates on its iconic design, the Kia Soul has some capabilities of a crossover with the size of a car. Its design alone should appease the wants and needs of city-dwellers everywhere.

More Power

While showing power on the road, one vehicle leaves the other in the dust? For starters, the Honda Fit comes with a 1.5-liter engine that can provide as much as 130 horsepower, enabling you to zoom to 60mph within 8.4 seconds. On the flip side, the Kia Soul has replaced its 1.6-liter engine with an Atkinson-cycle 2.0-liter inline four, which pumps out 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, you can reach 60 mph in just 8 seconds flat.

A Lot of Space in the 2020 Kia Soul Compared to the 2020 Honda Fit in Albuquerque NM

Space is usually one of the deciding factors among drivers. The Honda Fit only offers space for five passengers; it skimps on cargo space with only 16.6 cubic feet.

This is where the Kia Soul comes in. Not only does it offer ample space, both head- and legroom-wise, but it’s also generous in cargo space. You can store all your luggage in the Soul’s 24.2 cubic feet of cargo area.

Practicality is the name of the game for both models, yet the 2020 Kia Soul zooms ahead of the 2020 Honda Fit in Albuquerque NM simply because of its timeless box-shaped charm, ample cargo space, and impressive power. Schedule a test drive today to see for yourself why the Kia Soul comes out ahead of the Honda Fit.

The 2020 Kia Rio near Santa Fe NM: What’s In Store?

Few car models can boast of striking the perfect balance between style and substance, and the 2020 Kia Rio near Santa Fe, NM is one of those. While its exterior may not strike as tough at first sight, this pint-sized beauty packs a surprising punch that could easily leave its competitors in the dust. For the 2020 model year of this vehicle, Kia made sure its updated features would bring the best value. The Kia Rio is known for being one of the most affordable sedans on the market.

Kia fans, casual car enthusiasts, or even those who are simply in need of a new car can appreciate these jaw-dropping features that Kia introduced for the 2020 Kia Rio.

A Brand New Engine

If you have the pleasure of test-driving the 2020 Kia Rio near Santa Fe NM, you’ll notice how smoothly it can cross through packed roads or even bumpy streets. That’s because Kia powered the 2020 Rio with a 1.6L four-cylinder engine and paired it with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). It’s a pretty nice setup, especially since it can generate as much as 120 horsepower and 112 lb-ft of torque at around 4,500 rpm. Bet your bottom dollar that you can drive New Mexico roads with comfort and agility.

This engine also boasts the best fuel efficiency yet, as it delivers a 41 mpg fuel rating on the highway and 33 mpg when driving in the city. Expect fewer gas stops when you’re the proud owner of the 2020 Kia Rio.

Simply Sophisticated

The 2020 Kia Rio proves that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, especially when it comes to its interior. Everything, including the controls for the audio and climate, is within reach with the user-friendly 7.0-inch touchscreen dashboard. Even long drives can go by really quickly, as the dashboard lets you listen to the latest jams through SiriusXM satellite radio, Bluetooth, and USB connectivity.

It’s also a pleasant surprise to see the Rio’s sleek and elegant interiors, something you wouldn’t expect from other subcompacts. This elegant style is combined with a refined sense of comfort, as it provides ample legroom for its passengers.

Consider an upgrade to the Rio S model, which also includes a center armrest, cruise control, split-folding rear seats with adjustable headrests, and keyless entry. These neat features may be worth upgrading for, especially if you’re looking for a taste of sophistication and elegance in every ride.

Safety Assured with the 2020 Kia Rio near Santa Fe NM

As with the previous model years, the 2020 Kia Rio continues the proud tradition of guaranteeing safe drives with its roster of driver-assistance technology. The previous versions have been awarded with a Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and it wouldn’t be surprising that the same will hold true for the 2020 Rio.
