SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 19, 2026 – Audi brought its performance credentials to the Miami Grand Prix at the end of April, marking the brand's first US Formula 1 appearance as a factory team and debuting the all-new Audi RS 5 in the F1 Pirelli Hot Lap Program for the first time on American soil. The weekend spanned the racetrack at Miami Gardens and the streets of Wynwood, with city-wide fan activations, partner events, and premium hospitality at Turn 1 running from April 30 through May 3. For Audi, the Miami debut carried particular significance — it was the brand's first US factory racing appearance since competing in Formula E in New York City in 2021.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 19, 2026 – Audi of America has launched a national campaign for the all-new 2026 Audi Q3, pairing Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman with Golden Globe nominee Chase Infiniti in a cinematic spot titled "A Life of Yes." The campaign, which debuted April 24 across television, digital, and social platforms, introduces the third generation of one of Audi's longest-running and best-selling models — a compact premium SUV that arrives with expanded standard equipment, a higher-output powertrain, and what Audi claims is best-in-class 0-60 acceleration against key segment rivals including the BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz GLA, Volvo XC40, Lexus UX, and Acura ADX. The Q3 is on sale now.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 19, 2026 – Aman New York has expanded its Homes collection with four new residential offerings in the upper floors of the landmark Crown Building at Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, catering to families, groups, and guests who want the space and privacy of a private residence combined with full hotel service. The new additions range from a 107-square-meter one-bedroom to a full-floor three-bedroom spanning 585 square meters — currently the largest residence available at the property and among the most spacious of its kind anywhere in Manhattan. Nightly rates start at $9,000 for the One Bedroom Home and reach $40,000 for the full-floor Three Bedroom, with no minimum stay required.

Four New Residences, Four Different Propositions

Each of the four new Homes approaches the idea of urban residential living from a slightly different angle.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 19, 2026 – A tourism region in the Austrian Alps has found an unusually clever way to let travelers preview a holiday before booking: a live webcam mounted on a passenger boat sailing across one of Tyrol's most scenic lake landscapes. The Tiroler Zugspitz Arena has installed what it describes as the first live webcam on a moving passenger vessel in Tyrol, streaming real-time footage from the Heiterwanger See as the boat glides between sheer rock faces, forested shorelines, and crystalline alpine water. Unlike a fixed mountaintop camera, the view shifts almost every minute as the ship moves — giving prospective visitors something far closer to actually being there.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 19, 2026 – Kia America has announced that its fifth annual "Accelerate the Good" Dealer Match program raised more than $4.7 million for nonprofit organizations across the United States in 2025, with contributions coming from both the company and its network of nearly 800 retailers nationwide. The total includes donations of more than $1.5 million each to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and No Kid Hungry, with additional funds directed to organizations working in children's health, hunger relief, veterans' services, disaster response, and community well-being. The program has now completed five years of operation, steadily growing its reach and the number of causes it supports.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 19, 2026 – The 2027 Kia Telluride X-Pro has been named the Best Winter Family Utility Vehicle of New England by the New England Motor Press Association (NEMPA), adding another industry award to what has already been a record-breaking run for Kia's flagship three-row SUV. The recognition comes from NEMPA's annual Winter Vehicle Awards program, which evaluates vehicles against the specific demands of New England driving — heavy snowfall, icy roads, and varied terrain across Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. For families in the Northeast shopping a three-row SUV, it's a meaningful endorsement from journalists who test in those exact conditions year-round.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 19, 2026 – Kia America closed out the first half of 2026 with its best-ever June sales total, moving 70,507 units for a 10 percent year-over-year gain, and setting an all-time first-half record of 430,727 units sold — up 3 percent over the same period in 2025. The results mark the brand's third consecutive year on pace for all-time annual sales, with hybrids and electrified models leading the charge by a wide margin. Full-scale nationwide sales of the all-new 2027 Seltos are set to begin in July, giving Kia a fresh catalyst heading into the second half.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 19, 2026 – Kia America has revealed pricing for the fully redesigned 2027 Kia Seltos, with the entry-level LX FWD trim starting at $24,990 before destination charges. The second-generation Seltos comes in larger and more capable than its predecessor, with a longer wheelbase, wider stance, and what Kia claims is best-in-class passenger space and class-leading maximum cargo room in the entry compact SUV segment. Eight trim configurations are available at launch, ranging up to $32,790 for the top X-Line SX, with a hybrid version priced separately closer to its on-sale date later this year.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 19, 2026 – Kia America and Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA) have officially started production of the 2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid at the Savannah, Georgia facility — a moment that carries three firsts for the plant at once: the first Kia model, the first hybrid electric vehicle, and the third model overall to roll off its lines. The milestone extends Kia's nearly two-decade manufacturing presence in Georgia and signals a clear push to bring more of its electrified lineup closer to its largest consumer market. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp attended the celebration alongside Kia and HMGMA executives, with the first completed Sportage Hybrid making its stage debut aboard an Autonomous Mobile Robot.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 19, 2026 – The 2026 Kia Sportage arrives with its most substantial refresh since the fifth-generation model launched over three years ago, bringing design updates, a more powerful hybrid powertrain, and a host of new technology features across three distinct powertrain options — gasoline, turbo hybrid, and turbo plug-in hybrid. Two new trim levels join the Sportage HEV lineup for the first time, and every variant gets a cabin that leans harder into connectivity and driver assistance. For Kia's longest-running nameplate and currently its best-selling model in the US, this is a meaningful step forward.
