Berlin City Kia, your Vermont Kia dealer would like to say thank you to all of our loyal Kia customers! Without your dedication and love for the Kia Brand, Kia would not be able to make the expansions it is planning on. So, we would like to share with you what we have heard from Kia Motors about their spike in sales and what it has lead to. Kia will invest $100 million to boost production capacity at its vehicle assembly plant in West Point, Ga., 20 percent in 2012, the company said recently. The expansion will increase the plant's production capacity from 300,000 units a year to 360,000. This is great news for VT Kia enthusiasts looking for a new car as there will be more models to choose from. The move comes as Kia prepares to add a third shift at the plant to assemble the Kia Optima mid-sized sedan beginning in September. The Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe crossovers -- which share a platform with the Optima -- also are built at the plant. Kia's U.S. sales jumped 53 percent in May to 48,212 units -- the carmaker's best-ever sales month. Sales through May were up 45 percent to 200,060 units. The additional capacity should ease some production strains on the plant, which has been running at least near full capacity for months to keep up with the automaker's sales growth. The Sorento is Kia's top-selling model with January-May sales of 51,765, up 23 percent. Kia has been building the Sorento and Santa Fe at a high enough rate to suggest that full-year production of those vehicles alone would bring the plant to full capacity. The expansion is projected to be completed in 2012. The company has already hired 1,000 new workers to staff the third shift, bringing the plant's total employment to more than 3,000 workers. Your Williston Kia Dealer was very happy to read about this, as we are supportive of any company that helps increase the amount of jobs available in the U.S. Even though the plant isn’t scheduled to be completed for another year, Berlin City Kia still has all the makes and models from the Kia line-up. We do, however, have a shortage of used vehicles, therefore, if you are looking to get out of your current car, truck or SUV, we offer a We’ll Buy program that will get into a new or used car from over 500 cars we have in stock in Vermont. With this program we make selling your used vehicle easy by providing quick and up-front appraisals. We’ll get you the highest trade in value on your car, and even if you don’t purchase a vehicle from us, we will still buy your car from you! ...read more

The infotainment system is based on Windows Embedded Automotive platform, while the GDI engine provides exceptional fuel economy and lower emissions. Apart from mechanical upgrades, the 2012 Sorento also provides a plethora of convenience features including ventilated driver’s seat, power passenger/memory seat, wood trim steering column and power folding mirrors. All the more reason for VT Kia enthusiasts to come see this new edition to the Kia family. Kia Sorento is basically a midsize crossover sport utility vehicle, which was originally developed and designed in the year 2002 by a South Korean automobile producing company called Kia Motors. The first generation model was available in two transmission choices: 4/5 speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission. The all-new 2012 Kia Sorento arrives with one of the most important advances in the automotive industry. It features a unibody construction and delivers the comforts and ride, which Americans have come to expect from crossover utility vehicles. The Sorento continues its strong-minded effort like other models including Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. One of the most noticeable benefits of the 2012 Kia Sorento is its near midsize dimensions, and like other models, it comes with a choice of six or four-cylinder engines. It offers an extra choice in the form of new direct injected four-cylinder engine, good for churning out 191 horsepower with fuel economy of 32 miles per gallon in highway driving. Feel free to stop by one of the top Williston Kia dealers, Berlin City Kia, and ask any of our knowledgeable sales guides anything about this amazing new vehicle. ...read more
