Over the next year, the experts at Kia are premiering a brand-new SUV that’s made for versatility and performance under all road conditions: the 2021 Kia Seltos. Today, we’re going to cover some of its finer points and explain why it’s a vehicle that’s worth your consideration. more This all-new crossover comes equipped right from the base trim – standard on all 2021 Kia Seltos models are features many other vehicles require a premium for, like automatic emergency braking, Lane-Keeping Technology, Sofino leatherette-trimmed seats with blue accents, and heated front seats. That last one should be especially useful for our Gurnee Kia auto customers. While it’s designed to comfort at all levels, the 2021 Kia Seltos is also designed to perform in pretty much all environments. With an available turbocharged 1.6-liter engine, you can develop an impressive 195 lb-ft of torque and 175 horsepower, giving you a responsive ride and quick pickup to keep your commute fun. While Front-Wheel-Drive is only standard on the S trim level, every other trim comes standard with All-Wheel-Drive to deliver the power your wheels need on icy roads and other unforgiving terrains. This feature also comes with an AWD Lock feature, which ensures that your front and rear wheels split the power from the engine evenly, gaining traction at low speeds to ensure that acceleration doesn’t spin you out. When it comes to technology features, the 2021 Kia Seltos comes with standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ to keep your hands off the phone and on the wheel much more often. Available wireless phone charging and a premium Bose® sound system with a connected mood lamp are just a few cutting-edge features that you’ll love from the test drive to the tenth year. Come in today for an excellent deal on this brand new crossover, and discover what it’s like behind the wheel with a test drive from Classic Kia: your Waukegan, IL Kia dealership.

With the winter getting colder and colder, the miles can really start to pile up on your new 2020 Kia Sorento or any other new or pre-owned cars you might have. So, to make sure that your Kia is going to survive the winter, then you need to make sure that it’s getting the maintenance it needs. And when it comes to maintenance, the most common procedure is an oil change. Today we want to tell you why you need to make sure you get your Kia in for service, especially in inclement weather. more The oil change happens so often because, well, it needs to. The oil keeps things as cool as possible in your Kia car’s engine, keeping it healthy. If oil gets too old, it gets thicker and generates more heat, which can lead to all kinds of problems. Your engine takes more wear and tear with older oil, and the engine needs to work harder to deliver the same performance you’re used to. It also reduces your fuel efficiency because the engine is working harder, which affects your bottom line on a more immediate basis than the long-term, slow-burn engine damage that old oil also inflicts. So when you need to get that oil change, your Kia deserves service from no one but the best – so bring them into our Waukegan, IL Kia dealership and let the technicians at our Kia service center perform your oil change. We also look at other parts of your vehicle that need to be replaced often, such as brake components, filters, fluid levels, and more. If need be, we can make repairs using only original equipment to ensure fitment and quality. So, head in today to prep your vehicle for the winter! Our technicians are ready to keep your Kia running strong for this winter.

This model year saw a complete overhaul of the venerated compact Kia car, and today we’re showing off some of the best features it has to offer. more The 2020 Kia Forte is ready to induce some serious driver’s envy – the GT model can pack a 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that pumps out 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, more than enough to press your passengers back into their seats. Of course, the sports-like trim might be an indication of the power under the hood: the GT model comes with an exclusive grille, unique side sills, and a distinctive rear spoiler. Even with its powerful engine, this Kia model still gets an equally impressive 35 MPG combined, so you can get speedy while saving at the pump. But innovation under the hood doesn’t mean that the 2020 Forte is lacking in the cabin in terms of features, either. Available UVO eServices allows for seamless connectivity with your smartphone via Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay®, which can all be shown through a wide and easy-to-control 8-inch touchscreen. The inside also gets premium touches of its own – available SOFINO leather seating surfaces provide an elegant platform for you to enjoy the vehicles’ performance, and the 10-way power adjustable seating ensures that you can sit in maximum comfort.

For those of us whose cars are just as unprepared for winter weather as we were, our service team at Classic Kia wants to help you out. If you’ve got a 2020 Kia Sorento, feel free to bring it into our Classic Kia dealership service center to get a quick and easy winterization appointment in so your new Kia Sorento isn’t left out in the cold. more To keep things simple think of Winterization as a slightly more in-depth maintenance appointment. First things first, your fluids and filters need to be checked out, and the certified maintenance pros at our service center will make sure that you’re in peak working order there. Also, we only use original Kia equipment to ensure proper fit and maximum longevity. From there, we check out the health of your Sorento’s tires. If you’ve been swapping your tires out seasonally, you’ve probably got a set of all-season or summer tires equipped on your new or pre-owned Kia cars. Now it’s time to switch to more suitable snow tires. Summer and all-season tires are designed with thinner and more numerous grooves for more contact on asphalt but don’t really help when trying to get traction in snow. A snow tire is specifically formulated to perform in cold-weather conditions, with much more aggressive and chunkier treads to allow you to keep your Sorento running smoothly even through dense snow or slippery ice. So come in today to get your Sorento outfitted and prepared for the cold. Our expert technicians will provide you with the right equipment and the proper tires to help you take the snowy roads and frosty trails with confidence this season. See you soon!
