Online, June 1, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Kia has been recognized by NADAguides, a leading provider of vehicle pricing and information, by having the Kia Rio, Forte and Soul named to the "Most Versatile 2012 New Cars Under $20K" list. Kia placed more vehicles than any other automaker on the top ten list. NADAguides makes the list to help new car shoppers find fuel-efficient vehicles that have rich features and are highly-versatile.

"Having three of our vehicles named to NADAguides' 'Most Versatile 2012 New Cars Under $20K' list validates how far our brand has come in terms of quality, packaging and features development in such a short period of time," said Orth Hedrick, director of product planning, KMA. "With the presence and eye-catching style of Rio, Forte and Soul, Kia's complete vehicle line is comprised of a wide breadth of capable offerings at very affordable price points."

The NADAguides' vehicle selections were based upon specific versatility criteria important to automotive consumers including cargo space, passenger capacity, legroom and all-wheel drive capabilities. Also factored into consideration were each vehicle's standard and optional equipment.

"Rising energy prices and economic concerns have instilled a greater sense of frugality in today's car shopper," asserted Troy Snyder, director of product development at NADAguides. "However, young professionals, families and empty nesters alike still need transportation that will support a wide variety of lifestyle activities and something beyond just going from point A to B in the most inexpensive manner possible. What has been compiled by NADAguides is our recommendation for those budget-minded car shoppers that want a little of everything from features and fuel efficiency to versatility and value."
