| 10-09-2012: Quoris to Set New Standards | |
|
Every Quoris enjoys remarkable clarity on the all-new 12.3-inch wide TFT (Thin Film Transistor) LCD cluster. The high-definition cluster features ‘two cylinder’ instrument design with precise graphics and delivers a wide range of information with immense clarity. The priorities colour and size of the display’s graphics can be personalized. For increased safety, Quoris will be equipped with a HUD (Head-up Display). This system presents a variety of information discretely in the driver’s sight line, enabling it to be assimilated without distracting from the road ahead. Necessary driver’s eye movement is minimized and Kia’s new system automatically adjusts the brightness of the display to suit local ambient light levels. The choice of information display includes current speed, local speed limit, navigation directions, blind spot detection and Smart Cruise Control. Additional night-time safety is provided by the AFLS (Adaptive Front Lighting System), fitted as standard, that works in conjunction with the full LED headlights arranged in two square four-light clusters per headlight. The lower cluster provides the dipped-beam which automatically moves up/down, left/right, controlled by the AFLS which reacts to vehicle speed and steering angle. It delivers a continuously varying (and most appropriate) light pattern, including short-broad lighting (village & town mode), medium length/width lighting (common mode), up to long-thin lighting (high speed, over 110 kph). It also turns the lights to better illuminate bends.
To assist Quoris in parking the new sedan is equipped with PGS (Parking Guide System). This uses a steering wheel angle sensor and a rear-view camera to show the predicted trajectory of the vehicle on the sat-nav monitor as an aid to parking. The system features automatic steering control by an on-board computer to safely perform parallel parking. The computer ‘takes over’ the task of steering, while the driver remains in control of the accelerator and brake. Remarkably space efficient, the small control for the EPB (Electric Parking Brake) is located near the gear selector and gives effortless activation and release of the brake. For safe driving at higher speeds, Quoris uses a radar-based safety system, the Smart Cruise Control (SCC). This system adjusts the vehicle’s speed to maintain a pre-determined ‘safe’ distance from the vehicle ahead by applying the brakes to keep this gap constant and will bring car to a complete stop, if necessary. As well as providing high-tech protection for its occupants, every Quoris incorperates a sophisticated, refined and luxurious interior. Trimmed in NAPPA premium leather, both the front seats are powered, heated and ventilated. The driver’s seat features 16-way adjustment and memory settings for two users, while the passenger seat has 10-way adjustment. The regular rear seat has three-stage heating of the cushion and backrest, with manually adjustable lumbar support and a folding centre armrest. The interior is exceptionally spacious, thanks in part to the long, 3045mm, wheelbase and generous overall height. Front seat head and legroom match the segment best, while rear seat legroom is best-in-class. The cabin can be bathed in natural light as the large powered glass tilt‘n’slide sunroof is standard on all Quoris models. Trunk capacity is also generous – with 455 litres of capacity. The in-vehicle infotainment system available for Quoris is powered by the Intel Atom processor which is making its first appearance in a Kia. The touchscreen on the dashboard allows the driver to take advantage of state-of-the-art functions and services, while the backseat display supports a variety of video formats to entertain passengers. A rich multi-media is offered with premium sound and formats such as MPEG1/2/4, WMV9, Divx4/5/6, Xvid and H264, plus excellent 3-D graphics and all is displayed on dual 9.2-inch monitors mounted in the back of each front seat.
Quoris features a premium audio system from Lexicon by Harman, the renowned creator of truly concert-hall standards of sound reproduction. A 12-channel digital amplifier is mounted in the boot, two speakers are fitted in each front door, three are fitted in each rear door, four are located in the dashboard centre, with two surround-sound speakers and an inverted sub-woofer positioned in the rear parcel shelf, without intruding on boot space. Every Quoris comes with a smart-key entry system that senses when the car’s key bearer approaches and automatically unlocks the vehicle. For maximum convenience the user does not have to touch the key, simply having it in a pocket or handbag will unlock the car leaving their hands free for dealing with children or loading items of luggage. |
Kia’s all-new luxury Quoris flagship sedan will go on sale outside Korea later this year, left hand drive markets only; it will premiere a range of comfort and convenience features that set new standards for Kia as well as the automotive market. 
For maximum convenience and safety, Quoris will be available with an Around-View Monitor System (AVMS). This employs four cameras to display a 360-degree image of the car’s location on the sat-nav screen. 
The folding centre armrest for the rear seats, incorporates a complete set of duplicate controls, including a jog-type centre stick, for the multi-media system so that passengers can select their preferred choice of entertainment. ^ Back to top ^
