Kia is proud to announce that the company has been recognized in Germany for three of our products: the Sportage, the Optima and the all-new Rio. Kia Motors is one of the main winners in the first-ever Automotive Brand Contest.

In the automotive industry, the brand and the brand design are the two most important factors in winning consumers’ hearts.

The Rat für Formgebung (http://bit.ly/1xJ8hH, German Design Council) has decided to recognize this fundamental importance of brand and brand design by organizing the first international brand and design award for the automobile industry. The contest, known as the “Automotive Brand Contest 2011,” honors outstanding achievements of carmakers in the categories of brand management, brand communication and design. The focus is on the integral and consistent use of the brand across all media and its actual products.

The judging panel of the first Automotive Brand Contest declared Kia Motors the worthy winner in two categories. In the “Brand Design” category, where strategy and focus of the brand’s overall design is rated, Kia was recognized as the “Best of the Best.”

For the “Exterior” category, in which the vehicle design itself is the main focus, three Kia models were picked as winners: the compact Sportage CUV, the upcoming Rio B-segment model and the all-new, athletic D-segment Kia Optima sedan. The Kia Optima and Kia Sportage have received prestigious design awards in the past, including the Red Dot Award (Kia Optima: “Best of the Best”) and the iF Product Design Award.
The ceremony will be held on Sep. 13, 2011 in Frankfurt at the Internationale Automobil Ausstellung (IAA), one of the world’s largest automobile fair.

A crossover vehicle is a mid-size or compact motor vehicle with an enclosed cargo compartment (not a trunk or a pickup bed) with unibody construction based on a car platform. Crossover vehicles may or may not be available with four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

Any crossover vehicle in production for the 2010 or 2011 model year was eligible for this year's award.

The all-new, redesigned 2011 Kia Sportage won the vote with a commanding 64%. Also nominated were the 2011 Buick Enclave (15%), 2011 Nissan Murano (8%), 2011 Chevrolet Equinox (7%) and 2011 Dodge Journey (3%).

The new Kia Sportage represents the third generation of Sportage, and a major improvement for the 16th year of the compact crossover vehicle. Available with a powerful and efficient 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine (and soon a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder), the Sportage is poised to make a major move in the marketplace, especially as fuel prices continue to skyrocket.
