 All of the major automakers are currently trying to outdo one another when it comes to infotainment systems. Chevrolet has already announced that it will be integrating Apple’s Siri advanced voice recognition kit into its MyLink system, while Ford has also announced that it will be updating its MyFord Touch and My Lincoln Touch.
Now, with the unveiling of their new Sorento, Kia has also announced that it will also be improving its Uvo infotainment system, by launching a new version. It gains a telematics ‘eServices’ system which grants the driver access to vehilce diagnostics information, automatic emergency dialing, in case of accidents, as well as a parking location reminder.

It will first be available on the aforementioned Sorento, and later on the redesigned Forte sedan. However, their system will still not be as advanced as those used by Ford and Chevrolet, and they will have to update it further to give it the same comparable level of functionality.
