20 Jul 2012|6,236 views
Korean automaker Kia’s new flagship model, the K9 went on sale in early May, featuring high-tech comfort and safety features. When the K9 gets released in overseas markets it will be aptly christened the ‘Quoris’ which is derived from the English words 'core' and 'quality' (We don’t see the link either). "Our decision to give this striking new sedan an unconventional name means it will stand out even further from the established crowd, driving Kia sales in what is a new segment of the global automotive market for Kia," commented Thomas Oh, Kia's Executive Vice President & COO of the International Business Division.
The Quoris will feature a range of high-tech driving assistance and active safety features like radar-based Advanced Smart Cruise Control (ASCC) that maintains a pre-determined 'safe' distance of up to 52 meters at 90 km/h and stop if necessary, by constantly scanning the road up to a range of 174 meters. The Quoris also detects and warns driver of hazards using audio, visual alerts.
The ASCC is linked to an Advanced Vehicle Safety Management (AVSM) which will warn the driver in three stages via a loud audible alarm, a visual warning on both the Head Up Display (HUD) and LCD cluster besdies a haptic signal on the seatbelt under a risk of a collision. Also included are a Blind Spot Detection (BSD) and Lane Change Assistance (LCA) system among other safety features
"Our new flagship sedan possesses remarkable abilities to monitor and detect changing traffic conditions, and is constantly processing information, immediately deciding the right course of action and precisely executing vehicle movement controls as necessary," comments Chang-Ki Kang, Senior Vice President of Kia's Namyang R&D Center.
