Drive Wise, Kia's newest sub-brand, estimates that its autonomous, self-driving cars (like the currently developing Kia Soul EV) should be ready to hit roads in Mechanicsburg and beyond.

Kia claims to be investing upwards of $2 billion into this new technology now through 2018 to spur the momentum forward, and hints that likely, every model in the new Kia model will be available with these autonomous features. Imagine if your car could complete emergency stopping, assistance in parking and traffic jams, even cruising on the highway effortlessly or driving to meet you.

At McCafferty Kia of Mechanicsburg, our team knows how hard you've worked this year. That's why we're here to make sure that this Christmas, you get the present that dreams are made of. While we realize that a shiny new Kia isn't going to fit under your holiday tree, we're sure that its tech-savvy Smart Key most certainly will and this holiday season, that key is meant to unlock all of your automotive dreams. To find out more about what our team has in store for you this Christmas, press play on the video below…

Last year's winter was tough on everyone; more so on those who didn't get a chance to winter-proof their vehicle before all of the nasty weather came through!

Fortunately, there's still time to prepare. At our Kia service center in Mechanicsburg, PA, you can take advantage of extensive resources, a massive inventory of equipment and replacement parts, and the wealth of knowledge from our expertly-trained technicians to tackle winter head-on.

With all the hustle and bustle of driving in Mechanicsburg, PA, you may think that the only way you could achieve total "Zone" authority is through years of focused meditation, yoga, and finding your inner peace.

That is one way you could do it. Or, you could immerse yourself in the sophisticated, fun, and smart interior of the new Kia Optima. Whether you set your sights on the 2016 LX, LX Turbo, EX, SX Turbo or SXL, you'll reach nirvana without even trying.

Or, you could just... be Blake Griffin. He practically lives in the zone.

While the new Kia lineup does include its fair share of athletic AWD vehicles, like the Sorento and the Sportage, the brand has never really been known around Mechanicsburg, PA for creating gritty, hard-core off-roading machines.

But, in preparation for SEMA, Kia is offering something a little different. Last year, we were treated to a trail-running Kia Soul concept, and for the upcoming show the brand will be submitting two very distinct new off-roading models. One, a 4x4 lifted Kia Sorento, and the other? This beastie.

The new Kia Optima is chock full of surprises. Its 2.0-liter gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine will surprise you with its segment-leading horsepower. Next-level styling and a sumptuously appointed interior loaded to the gills with cutting-edge technology inclusions is certain to astonish. And the pragmatist in you will delight at the abundance of cargo and passenger room there is to be had in Kia's flagship sedan.

In fact, here at McCafferty Kia of Mechanicsburg, we can't think of a midsize sedan more befitting to help you pull off an unexpected birthday stunt for your loved one.

Think a compact car like the Kia Rio can't be of much help during a move? Think again.

The creative folks at our favorite Korean automaker are never one to shy away from a challenge, so when they set their minds to making a compact car that was stylish, great on gas, affordable, and spacious enough to meet the modern drivers' needs, they rose to the challenge.

With gas prices so low around town in Mechanicsburg, PA, driving a hybrid might be the furthest thing from your mind. But, it's never too early to join the eco-friendly movement, and the Kia Soul EV is here to make that decision easier than ever.

Typically, hybrids--and especially electric vehicles--are woefully equipped within, with boring interiors and an outside style that leaves quite a bit to be desired. However, the Soul EV wants to put those traditions to bed and reinvent the way that we drive green.

From the stroke of a pen on a blank sheet of paper, to the expert hands of a design engineer, to the concept floor... The creation of the 2017 Kia Sportage has been a long time coming. But, fortunately for all of us here in Mechanicsburg, PA, it's nearly here.

Take a look.

Here at McCafferty Kia of Mechanicsburg, if we could nominate one automotive manufacturer for "most improved" in the past decade or so, we would without a doubt give top honors to Kia.

Call us biased, but there's no denying that we have witness an absolutely astronomical rise in the popularity of the models that make up the Kia lineup. This exponential growth is certainly due in no small part to the brand's design-led revolution, in which they sought to create new vehicles that were aesthetically envelope-pushing, emotionally appealing, and unforgettable.
