Auto maker Kia continues to establish itself the worlds leading manufacturer announces the launch of the next generation Magentis

The next generation Kia Magentis will make its public world premiere at the New York International Auto Show on Friday 2 April 2010.
A fresh design from the ground up, Kia's all-new version of its popular mid-size saloon is completely transformed and embodies a bold, athletic and sporty visual energy.

Longer, lower and wider than the previous model, the new Magentis features a significantly longer wheelbase and will offer considerably more space for both people and luggage.

The world premiere of the next generation Magentis will take place at the Kia Stand on Level 1 of the ‘Jacob Javits Center' located between 34-39 Streets on 11th Avenue in New York City.
