  Kia Magentis | Road Tests, Auto Features
Well, the Magentis is the sister car to the latest Hyundai Sonata, sitting on the same platform and using the same 166bhp engine.
The Magentis is a strong performer, and you certainly wouldn't think from the way it handles that this is Kia's first 2.5-litre V6 effort, in the UK market, at any rate.
Kia is making positive noises about residual values, an area in which some of its previous cars scored well, but it's in original price that it's providing the real shocks.

  Kia Magentis   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In recent years, Kia has made substantial inroads into the UK market, and if the new Magentis reaps for the company the same success as its budget priced Sedona MPV, established volume manufacturers could be facing some stiff competition.
Kia's value-for-money strategy is evident throughout the range, despite improvements to every aspect of the car when compared with the outgoing model.
The new Magentis is bigger all round than the model it replaces and has a longer wheelbase and a shorter front overhang.

The Kia Magentis feels more expensive than it actually is. Is it as good as a Camry or Accord.
The Magentis, which is sold in the U.S. as the Optima, debuted in Canada in 2001.
Kia is obviously aware of this — they expect the four-cylinder model to account for at least 70 per cent of total sales.

 Carpages.ca - 2007 Kia Magentis Preview
But Kia, ranked quite low in J. Power and Associate's dependability (VDS) and initial quality (IQS) studies, doesn't have such laurels to rest on, and therefore has to be better than the best when it comes to styling, performance, and perceived quality, plus hit the market noticeably more affordable than its top-selling Japanese rivals.
While the Magentis has clearly been designed so as not to offend, and performance is limited to a 2.4-litre inline four-cylinder in base guise and 2.7-litre V6 in top trim levels, its value proposition will have to be very convincing indeed.
The new Magentis might not be bold enough to whip up a commotion among midsize sedan buyers, but it just might sneak in unawares and attract a large enough contingent of would-be buyers away from its more conservative competition to impact the segment's sales charts.

 autotelegraaf.nl [autonieuws] Kia Magentis is nieuwkomer met ambitieuze doelstelling
Als we de schrijver van het perscommuniqué mogen geloven is de Magentis een “belangrijke nieuwkomer in het zakelijke segment”.
Kia entree tot het zakelijke segment is de komst van de eerste dieselmotor, die overigens niet direct bij de verkoopstart begin volgend jaar verkrijgbaar is. De krachtbron heeft een inhoud van 2,0 liter.
Kia gaat de Magentis op de Nederlandse markt in verschillende versies leveren.

 [No title]
The Magentis is available with just one 2.0-litre petrol engine, which produces a useful 134bhp and 133lb ft of pull.
Unfortunately, though, the Magentis is unlikely to cling on to much of its value come resale time – buyers should budget for no more than a 40% return after three years and 36,000 miles.
The Magentis borrows many of its mechanicals from the Hyundai Sonata, so there should be little worry about reliability.

 Kia Optima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kia Optima (known as Magentis outside of the United States and China) is a mid-size car built by Kia Motors for the United States and Australian markets since 2001, and in Europe since 2002.
In Chile the first generation was known as Optima, and the latest as Magentis.
General Motors Canada previously used it on the 1989-1991 Passport Optima, although it is not clear whether Kia's decision is due to GM holding the rights to the name, or because the name carries a poor reputation.

 RTÉ.ie Motors: Kia Magentis
Kia as a partner in the Hyundai-Kia Automotive Group continues to provide 'aftermarket' stereos that aren't fully integrated into the dash and have no steering wheel mounted controls.
New Magentis is trying to be all things to all markets and despite possessing some unique features for European versions like better seats and interior colour schemes, still manages to fall short of the best Europe has to offer.
The new Kia Magentis is a good-sized family saloon that provides efficient motoring without setting pulses racing.

 Carpages.ca - 2007 Kia Magentis Road Test
Magentis sales alone, which are at about 2,000 units in the 2006 model year, are expected to at the very least double, but being that there is no set allocation for the car, Kia Canada could sell many more if it proves popular.
The Magentis is set up with MacPherson struts and coil springs up front, designed to be more entertaining than the multi-link system in Hyundai's Sonata, and I suppose if such a system is good enough for BMW, we should commend Kia for choosing it instead of merely adopting the Sonata's setup.
The Magentis also sports blue illumination for the gauge cluster and centre console switches, although it was difficult to fully appreciate during my daytime drive.

 Kia Magentis 2.0 CRDi GS | Road Tests, Auto Features
The Magentis reminds me of the way medium-sized family cars - repmobiles, if you will - used to be back in the early 1990s.
The second-generation Magentis isn't as good as the Mazda, and like some other Kias it has a tendency to front-end bounciness which can make it feel like an over-driven MPV.
One of the few things about the Magentis - in the form tested here, at least - that can't be compared with anything found on an early 90s car is the 138bhp two-litre CRDi turbo diesel engine, introduced to make the car more appealing to fleet customers in particular.

 The Automobile Association of Singapore - Kia Magentis
Korean carmaker Kia is hot on the heels of the Japanese establishment.
The bigger surprise though, is that the Magentis is actually more composed over road imperfections than we remembered the Sonata to be, as the latter tended to bounce over obstacles that should have been smothered.
Speaking of which, Kia's flagship is a fine long distance tool for your party of five and its accompanying luggage, thanks to a spacious interior and voluminous boot.
