The new Kia Cadenza’s test mule has been spied somewhere in California.

The sleek looking sedan which is already on sale in South Korea as the K-7, is longer and wider than the Amanti it will replace. It is expected to be revealed this year in U.S.-spec with sales to follow before the end of 2011. In its home market, the K7/Cadenza is offered with three gasoline engines ranging in output from 165HP for the four-cylinder unit to 295HP for the 3.5 liter V6.

Kia’s forthcoming mini-MPV was snapped in camo on the highway in the Czech Republic.

The five-seater MPV is a production version of Kia’s No3 Concept that was shown in Geneva earlier this year. It is anticipated that the small MPV’s engine range will comprise of 1.6-liter petrol and diesel units, both producing an output of 126HP, while certain markets may also receive a 115HP 1.6-liter diesel along with a range-topping 2.0-liter gasoline engine making 142HP.

Kia will unveil its new mini-MPV at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. European sales will starts before the end of the year. The new Kia’s MPV will be produced at the Hyundai Group’s new plant in the Czech Republic.

Look at hte first spy shots of the facelifted 2010 Kia Cee’d. Photos were made at the Nurburgring race track in Germany. Kia’s Golf-sized hatch Cee’d will make its debut at the Frankfurt motor show in September and will arrive to European dealerships during the fourth quarter of the year.

Aside from the new hood design and the restyled exterior mirrors with integrated turining signals, expect a new grille and headlights influenced by Kia’s latest production and concept cars likes the Soul and KND-5 mid-size sedan study plus a few changes at the rear including different tail lights.

Look at the first interior’s spy shot of the upcoming Kia Soul. It looks nice and simple. It is hard to tell is there a small luggage in the center like on Subaru Forester’s or perhaps navi pops out from there. Also looking at the spedometer and the steering wheel it looks to be hard to see your speed if you are a taller person.

As we know, Kia Soul will come to US showrooms in April of 2009. Engine choises include two four-cylinder gasoline engines: a 1.6-liter and a 2.0-liter. European models will get the 1.6-liter gasoline and 1.6-liter diesel engine.

Kia’s Soul has been spied again! The Soul has already been revealed, but this silver example is undergoing some final testing before production begins.

There is still some masking around the car, hinting at subtle changes for the final production version, which gets its world debut at the Paris Motor Show in October.

The Soul looks very tough, with pronounced wheel arches and roof rails that give it a chunky SUV look. It will need to stand out, though, with tough rivals such as the all-new Vauxhall Meriva and Honda Jazz awaiting it when it’s launched next year.

Expect prices to start from around $20,000.

Car spy shooters caught Kia’s test mule out testing in the desert, though this time it comes to us from Korea. Kia is supposedly developing a new near-luxury sedan using the base of the Hyundai Azera. You can see some details of the new Kia’s car design cues, including a nice set of complex element headlights that reach far up the fender wall, LED taillights and exhaust tips integrated into the rear apron. This larger sedan, reportedly codenamed VG and caught in Korea early, appears to at least have a smooth and sophisticated design beneath all that covering. We expect that new sedan will male its debuts at the Chicago or New York Auto Show.

Spy shooters have caught an heavily camouflaged sedan parked at the streets in Korea. Unknown vehicle is believed to be the new near Kia luxury sedan, called VG.

The Kia VG is expected to be front wheel drive vehicle, closely related to Hyundai Grandeur. Details are yet to be released, but expected that the Kia VG could be powered by either a 3.8L Lambda V6 engine or a more powerful 4.6 V8 Tau engine when it hits the market.

The Kia VG is set to go on sale in the second half of the 2009.
