Kia Uvo To Get Major Upgrades

Dec 3, 2012

Anybody with the Kia Uvo infotainment system in their car knows what a great service it’s been for making hands-free phone calls and voice-controlled media usage, but however awesome those things may be, infotainment systems are expected to do more than that these days. That’s why it was so excellent to get all the great news at the L.A. Auto Show last week about some upcoming Uvo updates. We’ll just say this, folks; you can go ahead and quadruple you’re excitement. This is a whole new Uvo.

For starters, Kia’s infotainment system is going to rely a lot more on smartphone connectivity, which means bringing more content and more services to the car. There are an increasing number of great apps that work in conjunction with automobiles, and Uvo is going to be prepared to use all of them.

It’s also going to link up with EServices like 911 Connect, which does exactly what it sounds like. That easy access to emergency help, though, can be valuable in the event of a crash or any of a number of other situations, and now all you need is Uvo and a Bluetooth-enabled smartphone to access it.

We’re also looking at real-time traffic updates for the GPS as well as all the great stuff that the previous version was able to do. Infotainment systems have changed the way people enjoy their vehicles, and we want to make sure that the Uvo system does our great Kia cars and SUVs justice. As a respected Kenosha-area Kia dealer, we’re here to say that these upgrades will make Uvo better than ever. Now, it’s just a matter of waiting for the changes to find their way to our vehicles.
