Quoris is the first luxury company experience of a Korean company. However, the machine was not created from scratch. It is built on the Equus platform and units, which has been manufactured by Hyundai's sister company since 2009. But Quoris is seriously different from Equus, including the air suspension, which provides the car with excellent smoothness.

Signs in Arabic on the side mirrors warning of distance distortion, a cartographic menu covering Saudi Arabia, Jordan and neighboring countries indicated that the car was quite ready to be sent to the Middle East. At some point, it seemed to me that I got to this luxury car festival prematurely. But Kia management assured that Quoris will appear on our market in the first half of next year. In fairness, I note that in South Korea the car has been on sale since May, however, under the name K9. So that there would be no problems with navigation, an autonomous, on a suction cup, appeared in the cabin near the windshield. She, from hour to hour no easier, was in Korean. The text duplicated in the English announcer saved the situation, but the arrows are clear even without translation.

It is known that the best-selling Kia in Russia is Rio. The company is associated with solid sedans and hatchbacks, as well as off-road vehicles of the middle price category. But how will the brand feel in luxury? Indeed, the fastidious customers of expensive cars are often interested in a big name.

Peter Schreier's Dream Design
What arguments can a Seoul company put forward in favor of its luxury sedan? Definitely a design. Quoris, as well as everything that Kia chief designer Peter Schreyer does, does not leave indifferent. The brilliant master timed to the presentation of the rear-wheel drive sedan and his personal exhibition, but not design, but artwork in the capital's gallery.
“The advent of Quoris,” says Schreyer, “testifies to our serious intentions and determination to compete with European luxury brands. In this regard, for Kia, and for our customers, and for me personally, this car is a true dream come true.”

Kia Quoris Kia Quoris Kia Quoris I do not know how anyone, but I liked the look of Quoris. Everything is clear and strict in it, as befits a representative class. At the same time, there is no heaviness in it, which affects individual cars of a prestigious level. High-tech details, such as LED adaptive square elements of the head light, give the appearance of intelligence.

There is no abundance of shiny metallic inserts, which flaunt, including well-known brands, to emphasize sportiness. The materials are high quality and perceived naturally. Attention is drawn to the thoroughness of the elaboration and fitting of parts. It is nice to be in this car and make trips.

From the driver's seat
Have you ever tried on the role of a personal driver? Well, and do not, especially with Quoris. This car is confusing. Here it is difficult to understand who is the serf and who is the pan: a VIP sitting at the back, or a driver serving him. The answer most likely lies in a different plane. For both. VIP can drive himself, can place his beloved family behind. Everyone will be comfortable and comfortable.

Only the driver's seat cushion can change length, you just have to move a small segment of the pictogram in the form of a chair on the side of the door. Here reproach to Korean cars for small seat cushions does not work. All seats are heated, ventilated, electrically adjustable, but only the driver is adjustable in height.

Needless to say, it is convenient to adjust the seat to fit any type of driver and height. After the “start” button is pressed - and on all Kia, including our Rio, keyless entry systems are installed - the dashboard comes to life, a picture of the world around the car is displayed on the 12-inch central display. Four cameras “scan” the space for 360º and display a virtual top view on the screen. One of the journalists decided to check the system and went under the rear bumper, but the camera found it. No harm done.
Video Surveillance System

He warned about the approach of the car from left to right, lighting the “blind spots” indicators on the side rear-view mirrors. It is noteworthy that information about vehicles approaching from behind was displayed, and this is very convenient, on the projection display on the windshield above the dashboard. Kia engineers managed to make one of the most convenient and information-rich devices to date. The image intensity is automatically adjusted according to the light. The device shows not only the speed of the car, but also the existing speed limits, secretly urging the driver to prudence in terms of the selected pace of movement.

The driver sets the distance to the car in front, which he considers comfortable for himself at a given speed and road situation, and can forget about the presence of pedals. When doing the experiment for the first time, I confess I kept my foot on the brake pedal at the ready. But I realized that this is superfluous. The driver only needs to adjust the movement of the wheel and do not forget about the direction indicators. Clever Quoris will do the rest for him: he will add gas and slow down. True, what has not yet learned to do an active cruise control is to recognize traffic signals. And if the car in front drives in yellow, Quoris can wave red after him. Here, without driver intervention, the situation cannot be resolved.

Driving experience
Roads in Korea are good. Quoris spreads over the highway strip, silence in the cabin, smooth running. And here are the retarders at the crosswalk. I think I will not really reduce the speed to zero like that, I’ll see how Korean pneumatics react to an obstacle. And what? - "swallowed", did not even frown. Another time I drove through the speed bump even a little faster - and again nothing. At bends, Quoris allows for small rolls, but to minimize them, you can use the "sport" mode.

The tandem of a 290-horsepower gasoline engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission works smoothly. Perhaps the demanding customer will want something hotter, but so far in terms of engines and transmissions Kia offers only one option. But you should not be afraid of no alternative: the numerous engine and transmission settings from “economical” to “sports” will help the demanding driver to choose his own style. Agree, 7.3 s to hundreds is a very good indicator of dynamics for a representative sedan.

From the back seat
From here life seems more fun. And if you are confident in your driver, you can turn the chair into a deck chair and take a nap with one button. Five hours of a temporary difference with Korea no, no, and they make themselves felt. The nine-inch screen in the back of the front seat can be used to monitor the route, or you can simply use it for games or watching programs.

You can attach a laptop only on your knees. There are no folding tables here. But, I believe, if the client informs about this his desire when ordering a car, a solution will be found.

Perhaps, wealthy citizens of these countries are not so urgent to work on the go in a car. Judging by the fact that in the conversation of Arab journalists, “shukran, al-Sayara Mumtaza” sounded more than once, which could be translated as “thank you, cool car”, they also liked Quoris.
