From a roomy interior to a wealth of luxuries, here are the features that make it a must-have. Efficiency and Range The 1.6L 4-cylinder GDI hybrid engine offers exceptional fuel economy ratings of 53 MPG in the city and 54 MPG on the highway.

Front-wheel drive enhances handling on the road, while selectable drive modes adjust performance based on your driving style or various driving situations. Active Safety Features Kia equips the 2024 Niro with a wealth of active driver assistance systems that sense the area around the vehicle and monitor the road throughout the journey to keep you and your loved ones safe. Anti-collision systems include pedestrian detection, while a blind spot monitor helps detect vehicles or obstacles in your blind spots when changing lanes, cornering, or backing in parking lots. The upper trims also elevate your driving experience with highway driving assistance and navigation-based smart cruise control. Adaptable Cabin A flexible interior layout offers standard seating for five with plenty of headroom and legroom for riders in both rows. Adjustable front seats come standard on all trim levels, offering customized support to the driver and copilot. The rear passengers can enjoy a larger-than-average lounge area with plenty of space to stretch during long rides. A cargo volume of 22.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats offers plenty of space for luggage, gym bags, or groceries. When you have to carry larger loads or bulky items, the 60/40 rear bench folds flat and boosts the cargo capacity to a maximum of 63.7 cubic feet. Modern Tech Features Built-in entertainment and connectivity add fun to your ride and keep you in touch with your digital life. An 8-inch center touchscreen is standard on the base trim and provides intuitive access to radio, audio streaming, and smartphone integration.

Navigating Your Kia's Advanced Safety Features for a Secure Drive

The cars at your local Kia dealer are equipped with many advanced Kia safety features that make driving a safer experience. The peace of mind that comes with a safer ride is a bonus. Whether you're in the city, on the highway, or parking, there's a feature to enhance your safety. Let's take a look at some of the features in detail. Auto Emergency Braking Technology One of Kia's safety technologies is an automatic emergency braking feature, so your car always has your back when you can't respond to the situation on your own. The system will warn you about the collision before applying the brakes, and then the emergency braking feature kicks in if you don't brake soon enough. Your car can warn you about collisions with pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers. The feature works while you're driving straight and when you're turning at a junction. Highway Driving Assist Highway Driving Assist works on certain federal highways. It allows you to relax and regain some energy, as the vehicle takes care of changing your speed based on the posted speed limit. It also helps you maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you. This feature and Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go both help make highway driving more enjoyable; they both make sure you remain at a comfortable speed and keep a safe distance from the car in front of you at all times. Remote Smart Parking Assist Remote Smart Parking Assist makes it simpler to navigate tight parking spaces. Instead of trying to squeeze yourself out of the car when there's almost no room to do so, you can line the car up with a parking space and then vacate the vehicle. A button on the key fob then lets you maneuver the vehicle into the parking space. If there's no room beside the vehicle to get back in the car later, then you can also use this feature to get the car out of the parking space before you climb back in. Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist Reverse If someone walks behind your car while you're backing up, then your vehicle will detect the obstacle and automatically apply your brakes. Using this feature, as well as the Surround-View Monitor, makes getting in and out of parking spaces a whole lot easier. Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist and Warning Your car can detect objects in your blind spot and will let you know if there's a vehicle there. The system won't let you change lanes while there's a car in your blind spot, keeping you safe from collisions. Ready for a test drive in a Kia with the features above? Come to Coughlin Kia of Newark in Newark, OH to check out our inventory.

Discover Efficiency: The 2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid

From trips around town to adventures off the beaten path, the 2024 Kia Sportage hybrid does it all with outstanding efficiency and style. Its spacious interior offers plenty of room for people and gear, and its standard tech and driver assistance features make every trip safer and more convenient. 2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid Basics The Sportage Hybrid provides both power and efficiency with its 1.6-liter turbo hybrid system, which produces a combined 258 lb.-ft. of torque and a best-in-class 227 horsepower. Standard front-wheel drive models can travel up to 43 miles on a gallon of gas, according to EPA estimates, while all-wheel drive models achieve 38 MPG combined. Sportage Hybrid models with all-wheel drive also have an increased ground clearance of 8.3 inches, so they're ready to take on uneven terrain. The Sportage Hybrid's suspension provides a smooth ride for up to 5 passengers in a roomy cabin. The comfort of rear-seat passengers isn't overlooked, with a class-leading 41.3 inches of rear legroom and reclining rear seats. Dual-zone auto climate control lets the driver and front passenger choose separate temperatures for customized comfort. The Sportage Hybrid also has a best-in-class 39.5 cu. ft. of cargo space, which expands to 73.7 cu. ft. when you fold the second-row seats flat. Standout Features The Sportage Hybrid leads its class in horsepower, cargo space, and rear legroom. It also comes with Kia's industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty, so you'll have long-term protection from unexpected repair costs. On the Sportage Hybrid SX Prestige, you'll find impressive advanced driver assistance features, like Remote Smart Parking Assist. With this technology, your Sportage Hybrid parks itself when you press a button on your key fob. Advanced Safety Safety is a top priority in the Sportage Hybrid, which includes numerous Drive Wise driver assistance systems to help you look out for danger on the road. One of these standard technologies is Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, which monitors the road ahead for cars, pedestrians, and cyclists, then warns you if a collision is predicted. If you don't respond to the alert, the system can apply the brakes automatically to help prevent a collision. Tech & Convenience Several standard Sportage Hybrid features, like High Beam Assist, automate simple tasks to make driving more convenient. High Beam Assist detects vehicles ahead of yours and switches automatically from high beams to low beams to prevent glare. The Sportage Hybrid also includes an 8-inch or available 12.3-inch touchscreen display, which gives you convenient access to view and control infotainment features. Standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make it easy to integrate your compatible smartphone with this display to view maps, listen to music, and more.

Our trained sales staff can assist you in finding a vehicle with the features you need and answer any questions you might have.

Maximizing the Performance of Your Kia with Regular Maintenance

Regular Kia maintenance ensures your Kia will always operate at peak performance and deliver the perfect driving experience you expect. As your Kia dealer, we want to tell you about some examples of maintenance we can perform to keep your car in great condition. Examples of Kia Maintenance Available at Your Kia Dealer Headlight Bulb Replacement Headlight bulbs have a very varied lifespan, ranging from 500 to 30,000 hours, depending on the type of bulbs in your Kia. These might not sound like long lives, but bulbs are usually only used for relatively brief periods at night. A bulb's lifespan can also be reduced by issues in the electrical system, as bulbs are very sensitive to fluctuations in the electrical current. Replacing a bulb is very quick, and we recommend replacing both bulbs even if only one has failed. The reason for this is bulbs are installed in pairs, and if one bulb fails, the other will fail soon afterward. Installing two new bulbs saves you time and money as you won't need to return in a few days to get the second bulb replaced. Tire Balancing Your tires are perfectly balanced when your Kia is new, but over time, they can become unbalanced. You'll hear strange noises from an unbalanced tire, car handling won't be as precise as it should be, and you'll use additional fuel due to the increased resistance from the tire. In addition, an unbalanced tire suffers additional wear damage as it hits the ground harder than it should. We can easily correct your tire balance. We attach each tire one at a time to our tire balancing machine. This machine spins the tire at high speed and identifies the weight distribution in the tire. Our technicians use this information to add precisely determined weights to the tire to ensure it's correctly balanced around its center. Radiator Fan Repair Liquid coolant flows through your engine at high speed, and it absorbs heat generated by combustion and the movement of countless engine components. The heat is then transported inside the coolant to the radiator, where it enters rows of parallel metal tubes. Air flows in through the radiator grille and blows over the tubes to remove the heat. If your engine is idling, airflow through the radiator is restricted. When this happens, the radiator fan situated at the rear of the radiator switches on and blows across the tubes to blow the heat out through the grille. If the radiator fan fails, your engine temperature will rapidly rise whenever your engine idles. We'll examine the fan and repair or replace it to fix this problem.

The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is quick to detect danger and will apply the brakes to help you avoid impact. The Assist includes detection software for pedestrians, cyclists, and incoming vehicles as you're turning left at junctions. The Rear Cross-Traffic Assist uses cameras on the corners of your Niro EV's front bumper to detect other vehicles crossing your path as you reverse.

Why Genuine Kia Parts Matter for Your Vehicle's Longevity and Performance

When it comes to replacing parts in your car, it's wise to opt for genuine OEM parts. Rather than gradually turning your vehicle into Frankenstein’s monster of mismatched generic aftermarket components, OEM car parts are all identical to Kia's original manufacturing specifications. They're perfectly compatible, better quality, more durable, and designed to optimize the lifespan and performance of your car. You can ask for more guidance on OEM components at your local Kia dealership. Zero Compatibility Issues OEM components are designed by Kia with precisely the same dimensions and technical specs as the original part being replaced. This means they fit seamlessly into your vehicle and you have no need to worry about compatibility issues. Generic car parts, on the other hand, often need to be altered before installation. Even then, they can never match the vehicle as perfectly as genuine components, which tends to cause performance problems down the road. Far Superior Quality You can rarely beat the quality of an OEM car part. Kia has an excellent reputation in engineering and manufacturing. To uphold this reputation, they maintain strict standards in all components they build, including each OEM car part. As vehicle performance depends on the quality of each component, this promise of quality is worth its weight in gold. Guaranteed Reliability When you install a generic aftermarket car part, you need to cross your fingers and hope it lasts. Not so with Kia OEM car parts. Long-term performance is assured when you know that each component has been built by the original manufacturer. This reliability is also frequently guaranteed by a generous warranty. Reduced Wear and Tear When newly installed car parts don't fit optimally and are inferior in quality, as with most aftermarket car parts, they wear out faster. On top of this, they also accelerate wear and tear in connected components. This can dramatically lessen the longevity of your car while also increasing the number of faults and repairs. Enhanced Vehicle Value You may want to sell your car in the future. If so, the buyer will be happy to hear you've always used genuine OEM components. This can significantly increase the resale value of your vehicle. Learn More About OEM Parts at Your Kia Dealer We'd be delighted to explain in more detail why genuine OEM components are far better for your car than any other option. Once we diagnose what fault your car is experiencing, we can repair it in no time, replacing any worn-out parts with the genuine article. Visit Coughlin Kia of Newark in Newark, OH, to have your car promptly repaired by experienced technicians. We're an award-winning local dealership offering a broad range of excellent cars, high-quality vehicle maintenance, and top-notch customer service.

Is Your Kia Due for an Oil Change? Visit Your Dealership?

When it comes to keeping your car's engine healthy, fresh motor oil is vital. If your motor oil becomes too old, it will stop properly protecting the engine from friction, heat, debris, and corrosion. The results can be catastrophic for your car. Read on to learn the benefits of routine oil changes at your local Kia dealer and how frequently you should refresh your motor oil. Enhance Your Engine's Performance The lubrication that motor oil provides keeps the engine's many moving parts working smoothly with minimal friction. However, as motor oil ages, it gradually loses its lubricating qualities, which causes an increase in friction and drop in power and performance. Motor oil also cleans dirt, metal fragments, and other contaminants from the pistons, cylinders, valves, rods, crankshaft, camshaft, and other engine components. This debris mostly collects in the oil filter but will eventually cause the oil to thicken into an ineffectual sludge that can no longer clean, lubricate, and protect the engine. Routinely changing your oil ensures that your oil remains fresh and clean, allowing the engine to perform at its best. Improve Your Car's Fuel Efficiency When your engine is running as smoothly and efficiently as possible, it produces as much output as possible for each gallon of fuel it burns. This means you have maximum gas mileage and more bang for your buck whenever you refill the tank. Keep Your Engine Alive for Longer When friction, contaminants, and corrosion are minimized by fresh, high-quality motor oil, your engine lasts longer. Car engines typically reach the end of the road after many years of steadily progressing wear and tear. If you can slow this wearing-down process by frequently changing your oil, your engine and car will enjoy a longer lifespan. Protect Against Overheating Even brief overheating can cause a great deal of harm to your engine. By reducing friction, motor oil helps the cooling system keep the engine's temperature under control. For this reason alone, it's unwise ever to let your oil grow old. Keep Your Vehicle Warranty Valid Any car warranty that covers the powertrain will be voided if you fail to change the motor oil. So, if you want to maintain the peace of mind that your warranty provides, refresh your oil as frequently as the warranty stipulates. How Often to Change Oil at Your Local Kia Dealer Most drivers should change their oil twice a year. However, you should always check your owner's manual to be sure of the correct oil to use and the appropriate oil servicing schedule to follow. And if you put your car through more strain than usual with severe driving conditions, you may need to refresh your oil more often than most. Change your oil today at Coughlin Kia of Newark in Newark, OH. We're a local award-winning dealership offering courteous, personalized customer service, whatever your automobile needs may be.

Leasing vs. Financing Your Kia: What's the Best Choice for You?

When it comes to getting behind the wheel of a new Kia, you have two main financial pathways to consider: leasing or financing. Each option offers unique benefits and could be the perfect fit depending on your personal circumstances and financial goals. At Coughlin Kia of Newark, we’re here to help you understand these options and guide you toward the best decision for your lifestyle. Leasing: Flexibility and Affordability Leasing a Kia offers an appealing route for many drivers, especially if you enjoy driving a new car every few years. When you lease, you're essentially renting the vehicle for a set period, typically 2-3 years. This option often comes with lower monthly payments compared to financing a purchase, as you only pay for the vehicle's depreciation during the lease term, not its full value. Benefits of leasing include: Lower monthly payments. Reduced repair costs thanks to the factory warranty. Opportunity to upgrade to a newer model sooner. Leasing might be ideal for you if you prefer lower upfront costs, drive a predictable number of miles, and like to keep your options open for the future. Financing: Invest in Ownership Financing a Kia, on the other hand, means taking out a loan to purchase the car. This path leads to ownership, and once your loan is paid off, the vehicle is yours indefinitely. Financing is often preferred by those who drive a lot, plan to keep their cars for many years, or want to build equity in their vehicle. Advantages of financing include: No mileage restrictions. Freedom to customize your car. Potential savings over the long term as you will no longer have a car payment once your loan is paid off. If you enjoy the idea of ownership and don’t mind higher monthly payments initially, financing could be the way to go. Making the Right Choice: How Coughlin Kia of Newark Can Help Deciding whether to lease or finance can be challenging, but you don’t have to make the decision alone. Our knowledgeable Finance team at Coughlin Kia of Newark is ready to assist you. We can provide detailed comparisons based on your specific needs and help you understand the total costs involved in each option.
