Kia Motors was proud to be a major sponsor for the Auckland International Boat Show held in the heart of Auckland City in the magnificent Viaduct Harbour.
This year’s show was moved to September to take advantage of the Rugby World Cup visitors from around the globe, who not only enjoyed the magnificent array of boats on show, but the excellent restaurants, cafes, bars and bistros that are part of the Viaduct ‘village’.
Hundreds of high-class power and sail, new and used, private, charter and classic vessels were on display on the specially constructed floating marina. The show spanned across both sides of the Viaduct, starting with exhibits on Te Wero Island and coming across to the Marine Village where the latest boats, marine engines, electronics and accessories were showcased, creating a true one-stop shop for all marine requirements.
Kia vehicles on display included excellent technology and design features, such as Idle Stop Go and Eco-Dynamics, which reflected the cutting edge technology of the New Zealand Boat industry.
Kia displayed our latest vehicles, including the All New Rio, Picanto, the award winning Sportage and Sorento SUV’s, and the head turning Optima.
