Golden Steering Wheel for Peter Schreyer

Bavarian-born Schreyer has been Chief Design Officer at Kia Motors since 2006 and was appointed President of all Hyundai-Kia Design Centres at the beginning of 2013. With overall design responsibility for the world’s fifth largest car manufacturer, Schreyer is only the second designer in the 31-year history of the Golden Steering Wheel to receive the award. Giorgetto Giugiaro received it in 1995.

Peter Schreyer trained at the Munich University of Applied Sciences and the London Royal College of Art, which presented him with an honorary doctorate in 2007. Prior to joining Kia, Schreyer was responsible for the design of pioneering models such as the Audi TT, Volkswagen’s new Beetle and the Volkswagen Passat.

At Kia, Schreyer has developed a design philosophy that stands for simplicity and clarity, which has made a considerable contribution to the success of the brand – in the past five years, Kia has doubled its global sales and in 2012 sold more than 2.7 million cars

The demand for Korean cars has increase tremendously therefore effecting the delivery of the vehicle to Malaysia. Anyway the New K5 facelift will be launch next month.

Here are some of news for those who like figures.

In July, Kia posted year-on-year sales increases in China, Korea and North America of 15.9% (40,794 units sold); 3.0% (41,500 units sold) and 1.5% (56,620 units sold), respectively. Meanwhile, July sales in General Markets* and Europe* decreased by 4.6% (43,342 units sold) and 0.6% (49,783 units sold), correspondingly. Cumulatively thus far in 2013, Kia’s global sales have increased by 2.5% year-on-year to reach 1,615,798 units.

Kia’s bestselling model in overseas markets for the month of July was the B-segment Rio (known as ‘K2′ in China) with 38,295 units sold. The Sportage compact CUV was the second best seller with 30,465 units delivered, while the C-segment Cerato (known as ‘Forte’ or ‘K3′ in some markets), Optima D-segment sedan and Sorento mid-size CUV followed with 30,171, 21,922 and 17,512 units sold, respectively.

This is the wonderful thing about internet. Many information can be obtain from it.

Hi, sorry to hear about your problem. I had just check with my SC about the complaint and they had done what an SC is suppose to do. They had brought the complaint to Naza Kia and had also forwarded Kia Korea.

I would like to explain a little bit here with regards to body noise. There are mechanical noise and structural noise. Structural noise are always more complex to solve compare to any mechanical noise. Mechanical noise normally involve replaceable or moving parts but a structural noise is a different problem all together. It might involve the body, design, welding joint and so on.

If the noise is a mechanical noise our SC will change any faulty parts ,tighten any loose parts necessary without any hesitation and solve the problem once and for all. But if the noise is a structural one then no SC are suppose to do anything without any expert advise from Kia Korea. Just as an example and for everyone understanding an SC cannot simply just dismantle any body parts, chassis, weld it and put it back. There are also safety and warranty issue to consider.

There are also limits what my SC or any SC can do when face with such a problem. I only hope for your patient and also hope that Kia Kore will come back with remedy/remedies that can solve your complaint. It might take some time but I believe your problem will be solve eventually.

Hi, there were many different comments on steering performance. One person might find the steering is good & light but another person might find it just the opposite. It is not only the vehicle itself that determine the results but other factors may also have significant effect on the feel and comfort.
One of the most important factor is the correct sitting & hand driving position. This is always the first topic that is taught in any advance driving course before anything else. Here is a video which I like to share:

Hopefully these tips will be helpful to enhance everyone driving pleasure & skills.

Ha ha ha. This is a surprise...!

PM u. Check it out!
