All new Sorento XM 2011

The new 2011 Kia Sorento, which features Kia Motors’ latest design “DNA” was launched at the Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show which ran from Dec 3 to 12.

The bookings of over 300 units for the Sorento exceeds its initial monthly sales target of 150 units for the highline cruiser.

“We were confident the new Sorento would be well received by the Malaysian public. “There aren’t many sport utility vehicles (SUVs) in the market that offer the capabilities, comfort, style and performance of the new Sorento,” Naza Kia chief executive SM Nasarudin SM Nasimuddin in a statement yesterday.

He said the highline cruiser would soon be available at Naza Kia showrooms nationwide.

Besides the new Sorento, Naza Kia also received positive feedback from the visitors to its exhibit at the motor show for its other models on display such as the all new 2011 Kia Optima and 2011 Kia Forte Koup.

SM Nasarudin said the new Optima and Forte Koup would be among the new Kia models the company planned to introduce to the market in the coming years.

The all new Sorento features a confident and contemporary exterior, high-performance powertrain, modern and technology-inspired interior with superior safety features.

It has been a best-seller for Kia Motors in several markets.

In the United States, Kia Motors America recently celebrated the sale of its 100,000th Sorento, making it the first Kia Motors vehicle to surpass the 100,000 unit mark in the United States in one year.

Its sporty appearance is further accentuated with its 18-inch alloy wheels, fog lamps, LED rear lamps and LED side-repeaters on the side-view mirrors. The new Sorento is powered by a four-cylinder 2.4-litre DOHC CVVT engine that produces an output of 174 PS and 226 Nm of torque that is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission to offer an exhilarating ride.

In terms of safety, the new Sorento is well equipped with a total of six airbags (dual front, side and curtain airbags), four-wheel Anti-lock Braking System, Electronic Stability Control and Electronic Brake Distribution. —source ;Bernama

BMW Concept 6-series revealed

With 2 weeks ahead of the Paris Motor Show, BMW has released the first pictures of the Concept 6-Series Coupe. Introduced in a concept form, the new 6 Series showcases the latest design trends at BMW.

Though it’s a concept, the 2+2 coupe is very close to the production car set to arrive in North America in mid-2011.


Flowing lines and aesthetically sculpted surfaces define the design of the BMW Concept 6 Series Coupé, in which classic BMW coupé styling cues are given a modern rendition. Among the innovative details featured in this concept study are full LED headlights and a newly designed, freestanding Control Display for the iDrive operating system. A fabric roof convertible version is also due in 2011.

BMW hasn’t provided official figures, but Munich insiders confirm that the new 6-series is virtually the same length though it’s a good deal wider and slightly lower than today’s car.

The cabin has an asymmetrical dashboard that hints at early BMWs by angling the centre console slightly towards the driver. “It’s a coupé, a driver’s car,” said van Hooydonk. BMW claims the iDrive multimedia screen is 10.2 inches across. Also, after Audi, Mercedes and Aston Martin, BMW’s teamed up with Bang & Olufsen for the hi-fi while other 5-series toys such as head-up displays are now available on the Six.
Possible engines and transmisions:

Expect 630i, 640i and 650i petrol 6-series, while the diesel Six gets upgraded to a 640d. The 6-series will use an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
