In a welcome development, Al-Attiya Motors and Trading Co. (AMTC), the exclusive distributor of Kia cars in Qatar, has delivered more than 40 units of the K8 executive sedans to Strong Rent A Car, a leading car rental service provider, for retail or corporate customers alike. The Kia K8 units will be geared towards supplying mobility solutions for events and conferences with its premium styling and comfort.
Owing to its excellent blend of head-turning design, luxurious interior and spacious dimensions, the Kia K8 has been approved by the authorities and companies handling mobility for high-level delegations for events and conferences. The interior of the K8 was envisioned to mimic the sophistication of hotel lounges and inspiration of art galleries for an intuitive private space while being transported comfortably.
“We at AMTC are pleased to see one of our most valued clients, Strong Rent A Car, convey their belief in the Kia brand and in the K8 sedan as viable and desirable choices to enhance their fleet of premium sedans to cater to their partners for special events and conferences. We look forward to seeing Strong’s highly professional operational team maximize these units, especially in this year highlighted by the historic World Cup, for which Kia is a global partner” mentioned Hossam Abu Shadi, Senior Brand Manager of Kia Qatar.
A modern and innovative sedan, the K8 combines sportiness and performance with a progressive and sleek exterior design. A state-of-the-art 3.5-liter Smartstream powertrain is offered through a GDI (gasoline direct injection) derivative with 300 ps and 36.6 kgf.m (359 Nm) torque. Every element of the K8 interior has been designed with high-end luxury in mind, serving to elevate the senses of the driver and passengers. Further enhancing K8 passenger convenience, the rear area of the first-row headrests has been developed to encompass a hanger-type design, allowing clothing and handbags to be easily and conveniently hooked into place. For passengers in the second row of the K8, there is a multi-functional fully-connected centre armrest featuring a USB charging port, sliding cup holders and a media control device.
“With our ongoing commitment to provide the best services and mobility solutions to our clients, we at Strong Rent A Car, are happy to include a significant number of Kia K8’s to our fleet. Seeing the progress of this vehicle from its predecessors, we are confident that these units best represent our dedication to serve the events and conferences sector well, with its striking looks, premium interior and efficient performance.” remarked Mohamed Hamayda, Managing Director of the Strong Group.
