Kia Drops the Spare Tire

Kia Drops the Spare Tire

Posted on June 23, 2016

When it comes to cutting weight, automakers will look to every possible avenue to trim excess weight to get their product to its lightest, which in turn helps increase the fuel economy of the models, and in-turn enhancing their value. The Kia brand has been heavily-awarded in recent years for the impressive value of their vehicles, which seems to grow with each passing year and now Kia is removing even more weight from their vehicles, to ensure more valuable performance and fuel economy.

Models like the Kia Optima, Sedona, Sorento, and Soul have all become some of the most impressive vehicles of their segments, and this is only a small sampling of the many exceptional vehicles awaiting in the Kia lineup. With all of the new Kia models shedding their spare tire, drivers can expect even greater happiness for years to come.

 

We lost our spare tire - literally! We’re lightening our vehicles to give you better fuel economy. Don’t worry, 24 hr roadside assistance is always available. Everything will feel lighter, except for your wallet! ----- On a perdu notre roue de secours - littéralement! Afin d’offrir à nos clients des véhicules plus légers offrant une meilleure économie de carburant, nous n’offrons plus de roue de secours sur certains de nos véhicules Kia. Mais pas de panique! Notre service d’assistance routière 24 heures est toujours offert.
