Kia has announced it extended two of its most popular savings programs for both buyers nationally and for Kia buyers in Lawton. These incentives are a great way to save money on a new Kia. First, Kia announced an updated version of its First Time Buyer Program. This program allows an individual to have excellent financing options when they make his or her first auto purchase. It applies to Kia Optimas, Fortes, Forte Coups, Souls, and Rios that are 2016 or newer. This Kia savings program offers a great opportunity for Lawton Kia buyers. Additionally, as an import to the American market, Kia Motors has an understandable desire to allow anyone to own a Kia, whether he or she is an American citizen or a visa holder. That is why KMF (Kia Motors Financing) has broadened its visa requirements to include three more visa types. The list of visas that qualify for the Foreign Business Professionals Program is now comprised of: H- 1B L-1 TN O-1 E-3 If you have one of these visas, and have a minimum household income of $60,000, you could qualify to save big on your next new Kia. Lawton Kia is excited to offer these deals. Give us a call or visit our dealership to take part in the savings

Kia has become known for it's innovation in new cars and in other aspects of the automotive industry. The manufacturer's innovation and quality is so great the used Kias are some of the best used cars on the market. Kia has now taken another step forward with the newest innovative creation, the 8 speed automatic front wheel transmission. This new transmission was created by Kia engineers so that the front end of Kia cars are lighter and safer. Eight-gear transmissions have existed for rear-wheel drive vehicles for years, but this is the first one available for front-wheel drive vehicles. The reason it is such a feat is because there are many size constraints in a front-wheel drive vehicle, caused by the engine, the suspension and the auxiliary components under the hood. This eight-speed transmission allows for smoother transition from gear to gear, it weights much less than a typical six-gear transmission, and it is the same size as it's smaller counterpart. This new transmission debuted in the 2017 Kia Cadenza, one of Kia's top-selling sedans.

Kia showcased the new 2018 Stinger at the North American International Auto Show, winning multiple design awards in the process. To the delight of many Oklahoma drivers, Kia is branching away from its usual conservative designing and has developed a much sportier and aggressive creation in the 2018 Kia Stinger. Along with a more athletic exterior, it also includes an engine capable of producing some impressive power. It hosts a 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6, engine producing 365 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque. The interior of the Kia Stinger tells a very different story. With a modern and sleek style, this new car includes a 7.0-inch touch screen infotainment system in its dash. As well as wireless device charging, plenty of legroom, a heads-up display and optional Harman/Kardon audio system. Its safety features will also include a Lane Assist System, Driver Attention Alert, Emergency Breaking, Forward Collision Assistance, and Blind Spot Detection. All of these features make us think it will be one of Kia's best vehicles. It will be perfect for drivers all over Oklahoma, including Lawton. The 2018 Kia Stinger will hit the showroom floor in the summer of 2017. More information on fuel efficiency and features will continue to be released in the mean time.

Kia is known for making exceptionally safe and dependable cars. But a new or used Kia is only as safe as how you choose to drive it. To keep you and your precious cargo out of harm's way in Lawton, or wherever your road takes you, follow these simple safety driving tips. Don't tailgate. Safety driving tip #1: don't tailgate!!! Human reaction time is slower than you may think. And the distance between you and the vehicle in front of you is definitely less than you think. The safest way to drive is with at least 1 & 1/2 car lengths between you and the next vehicle. Wear your seatbelt. Seatbelts save over 13,000 lives each year, and it is easily the most effective way to protect yourself in a crash. Not wearing one is reckless. Always buckle up. Know what's ahead of you. Being aware on the road is the best form of defensive driving there is. When you are looking at your surroundings, make sure you are looking two to three cars ahead of you, so you can know what is coming. Don't text and drive. Texting and driving has been proven to be more lethal than drunk driving. Don't let yourself be distracted and risk your life and the lives of others. Pull over to text, or just wait until you get where you need to be. Contact Lawton Kia for More Safety Driving Tips There you have it, safety driving tips from professionals. Having a great used or new Kia is awesome, but keeping it free of dings, dents or major damage can be difficult. Following these tips should make that no problem.

A Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is a vehicle that is still covered by the manufacturer's warranty because of limited use, excellent condition and age. A CPO vehicle is a great alternative to both new and used cars, but, as with those two categories of vehicle, you have to know how to find the CPO that is right for you. To make sure you are getting the biggest bang for your buck, research warranties before you decide on the vehicle you would like. One example of a manufacturer warranty is Kia's, and it may be the best example out there. Kia offers a 10 year or 100,000 mile warranty. That will cover your vehicle well past the point where maintenance becomes expected. To justify spending more on a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle rather than taking the cheaper used vehicle, you should be getting the majority of the warranty back with the vehicle, it should be in pristine condition and it should have the amenities you are looking for. One of the most important things to remember when searching for a CPO is that for a vehicle to be certified, it has to be at a manufacturer franchised dealership. So, if you want a Honda, you need to go to a dealership with Honda in the name. If you want a Kia, there is no better place in Lawton, Oklahoma, to get a CPO than Lawton Kia. Some dealerships will promise that an extended warranty is just as good as a CPO, but it usually isn't. To get an extended warranty, there is no further inspection required other than what the dealership did when it purchased the vehicle. For a car, truck or SUV to be considered a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, a rigorous detailed inspection is done, so you know it is in good working order. A CPO is an awesome option for a buyer looking for a good deal on an almost-new vehicle. As long as you know what to look for when you're buying, you will save money on the price tag and future maintenance.
