The new generation of the Kia Magentis will make its debut at the New York International Auto Show in April.

An all-new version of the saloon car from the Korean manufacturer is being released and will encompass a more sporty design.

The new Magentis is lower and wider than the previous model and has a longer wheelbase too, which allows for more space for people and luggage.

It will not be on sale in Europe until spring 2011, with the UK date not yet confirmed, however it will be available in the US and non-European markets from autumn this year.

Kia, which is an official partner of the FIFA World Cup 2010, has an innovative eco-friendly scheme where it applies Design for Recycling guidelines to its vehicles.

This means the company has partners across Europe that can recover and recycle as much material from an end-of-life car as possible.
