A lot of people get confused when they see a vehicle that is being touted as either being all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. Both of these setups have their advantages, but they are both different entities. The following is a small look at the difference between an all-wheel-drive system and a four-wheel variety:

All-wheel drive is the newer of these technologies and means that all four wheels of the vehicle are being powered at all times that the vehicle is in gear and moving. Four-wheel drive means that the vehicle usually has a locking mechanism which allows for only two…

If you happened to catch our prior post here at DCH Kia of Temecula, you now know at least a bit about our full-size sedan standout, the Cadenza.

Today, however, we're turning our attention to the Cadenza's midsized stablemate, the 2017 Optima.

Check the clip below to discover why our friends over at AutoGuide.com consider the Optima a strong contender for "Car of the Year" honors:

If your need for speed is especially pronounced, it's in the Optima's available engine upgrade -- a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder -- you're likely to meet your match.

No matter how you slice it, there sure is a lot to love about the 2017 Cadenza, the South Korean automaker's recently remade full-size sedan. In our estimation, it's a stunner from all angles.

And, coincidentally, Kelley Blue Book Managing Video Editor Micah Muzio feels quite similarly.

What'd he like best about the latest Cadenza? Check the clip below to find out:

In many ways, we feel the Cadenza's engine is alone worth the price of admission. Teaming with an eight-speed automatic transmission, this 3.3-liter V6 produces a potent 290 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of…

When it comes to the spanking-new 2017 Sportage, we here at DCH Kia of Temecula have half a mind to declare this compact crossover one of the industry's best.

However, in the interest of fairness, we feel the better approach would be to allow you to arrive at your own conclusion.

Check the clip below -- a video review of the Sportage from the fine folks at Autotrader -- to do just that:

There are two distinctive engine options within the Sportage portfolio. Both are tied to a six-speed automatic transmission and are offered with your choice of either front- or…

Striking, runway-ready style. A terrific twosome of engine options. And enough onboard amenities to make one's head spin. These are but a few of the many winning qualities that make up our full-size luxury sedan, the 2016 Kia K900.

Could this four-door be a good fit for you? Check the clip below -- a video review of the K900 from the The Car Connection critics -- to find out:

If it typically takes a bit more than the average to satisfy your driving desires, a look at the K900's top-tier trim -- the Luxury V8 -- is likely in order. Outfitted with…

Remember this?

That was the Kia GT4 Stinger, a concept car released by the brand back in 2014 at the Detroit Auto Show--at the time, it was one of the company's most drastic and bold designs.

According to the rumor mill, we may be seeing it again by 2018.

The full lineup of 2016 model year vehicles are here and there are a lot to choose from! If you're a family driver with a lot of loved ones always on the go, then we whole-heartedly suggest you find yourself in the driver's seat of the 2016 Kia Sedona minivan! With an all-new game-changing look that's sure to draw everyone's attention, the Sedona also offers a spacious and luxurious interior with safety features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, and Lane Departure Warning. Take a look below to see it in action:

It is the Sportspace concept that we saw at last year's Geneva Motor Show?

Oh! It's the all-new Sportswagon model trim offered on the stunning and popular 2016 Kia Optima sedan, right? The one that will offer all the amazing performance, bold style, and top fuel efficiency of the top-selling four door, with the versatile cargo space and fun ride quality of an estate car.

The one that will stand as a practical and viable alternative to high-riding SUVs like the compact new 2017 Kia Sportage or the award-winning new 2016 Kia Sorento, as a family-friendly everyday driver…

We here at DCH Kia of Temecula have a whole lot of love for our compact crossover, the 2016 Kia Sportage. That should come as no surprise.

What is, however, pleasantly surprising is that the industry experts at Auto Trader UK are seemingly equally as smitten by this standout SUV. That said, we invite you to join Road Test Editor, Ivan Aistrop, as he takes the Sportage for a spin:

While we definitely dig the Sportage's 182-horsepower entry-level engine, it nonetheless can't quite hold a candle to the drivetrain offered with its sportier sibling, the SX.
