When you shop for a new vehicle, the quality of the features that you find in each one make a big difference in your decision. Even within the same brand of cars, many people pick the one with the best features even if it costs a bit more. Kia provides a series of features that are standard on nearly all of its vehicles. That way, you can choose the vehicle that you want without worrying about differences in the features. If you are looking for a new car for you and your family, here is a look at four in-demand features that come standard in Kia models. UVO UVO is Kia's connectivity system. It lets you connect with your smart device and use many of the same apps in your Kia. Unlike many other systems, the UVO is designed as a full interface that lets you manage your app usage without ever needing your cell phone. It is one of the ways that Kia makes driving simpler and safer. more Connectivity Options Alongside UVO, Kia has several popular connectivity options that come standard on all of its vehicles. These include new options like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as the newest versions of Bluetooth. That way, nearly any smart device can connect to your Kia and provide all of the support that you need. These options also enable UVO to control your apps so that you don't have to fumble with your cell phone while driving. Automatic Manual One of the newer features making its way to Kia models is the Automatic Manual. Instead of using a paper manual book, you can use Kia's smart manual app. You just scan the car, and the app will tell you all about it. You can use it to look up maintenance information or to find out deeper details about how your car works. That way, you can get more detailed information from your smartphone, which you always have with you. Active Safety Systems Another set of features that are making their way to every Kia vehicle is Kia's set of active safety features. Many cars have basic safety features that make driving safer but do not adapt to your surroundings the way active ones do. Active safety systems like electronic stability control and the traction control system provide support for keeping your car on the road at all times. Kia is working them into every vehicle so that you don't have to sacrifice safety for other features. Kia's standard features continue to grow as Kia focuses on providing more value in every vehicle. Technology advancements also make it possible for Kia to give you more standard features. As you look for a new vehicle, consider checking out Kia vehicles in person. While they may share similar features, every Kia vehicle is different. The best way for you to tell if one is right for you is to test drive it and talk to an expert at a Kia dealership near you.

Let the pros at your local Wichita Kia dealership get you on track ... and keep you there. Extend your car's life with regular oil changes A simple oil change can save you money at the gas pump by keeping your engine’s inner components lubricated and moving freely, keeping internal temperatures appropriate so that maximum power is sent to the wheels with every drop of fuel. Old oil allows the engine to be literally bogged down with friction, and that can cause damage to grinding and overheating metal parts over time. Ask our service techs about an air filter change and other maintenance that can help you get the fuel mileage you expect. Rotate your Tires regularly and add miles Gasoline isn’t cheap, but tires are even more expensive. If you’re not rotating your tires on a scheduled basis, you’re literally leaving money on the pavement every time you drive. Rotated tires wear more evenly over the course of their lives, meaning you don’t have to head to the tire shop because the front tires are over worn while the rears still have thousands of miles left on them. Keeping tires properly rotated, balanced and inflated can also give you better traction making for a safer ride. Trust the pros for Kia service By going straight to the dealer for Kia service in Wichita, you are benefiting from the knowledge of the folks who see Kia cars every day inspect your vehicle. They know how to spot minor issues before they become big problems. A mechanic who isn’t in the know could miss something small that could cost you big time in the long run. Our certified Kia service technicians know how to keep your Kia running like new with regular, scheduled maintenance, and they’ll do their best to help you avoid costly future repairs. Schedule your service appointment online today. It’s quick and it’s easy! And, don’t forget to check back regularly to see the latest Kia service coupons to save just as much money as time.

Ready for a new ride, but aren't sure your budget is ready? Visit your local Wichita Kia dealership and let our Kia finance staff all the different ways we can fit a new vehicle into your financial plans without blowing your budget. Let our highly skilled finance staff work to find you the best available loan rate in the region! Click here to Get Pre-Approved in minutes! You have several Kia finance options designed to suit a variety of lifestyles and budgets. Here are three options to consider when making a new car decision: Finance Perhaps the most traditional route to getting a new car these days is buying it with the assistance of an auto loan from a major lender. Get started by using our free car payment calculator to determine a budget based on the monthly payment that’s right for you. Then just stop by and talk with our Kia Finance Department to nail down financing for the car you want. The advantage of going through Midwest Kia to secure financing is that we have access to a variety of financing channels so that we can get you the very best payment terms. Lease When you choose to lease a vehicle at our Wichita Kia dealer, you typically have to put less money down upfront. Monthly payments are also typically less than buying a car. The reason for this is that you’re not buying a car, you’re paying for the portion of its total value that you’ll be using. In other words, if you lease a new Kia for two years, you’ll be paying an amount equal to the estimated depreciation value of the car over that two year period. You get a brand new car to drive while not having to put up the full amount of a new car. A lease is a good option for people who do not typically keep their vehicle for more than a few years, but long-distance drivers may prefer buying a car because lease terms are based on average driving behavior. Certified Pre-Owned One major advantage of buying or leasing a brand new car is the warranty that comes with it. When you buy a Certified Pre-Owned Kia, you get a factory warranty because these cars have been inspected inside and out. Kia and Midwest Kia sell these Certified Pre-Owned Kia cars and SUVs with the confidence that they will serve you and your family for many years. Choosing a Certified Pre-Owned Kia means you can take advantage of lower price and still get the factory warranty that will shield you from unexpected repair costs. So consider your options, use the car payment calculator, and then head down to Midwest Kia in Wichita to test drive a new ride. Our friendly staff always stands ready to help you secure the right Kia finance option that fits your budget!
