Moving on to the interior, the 1.6 & 2.0liter SX gets a rear parking system & a 3-spoke leather wrapped steering wheel with tilt & telescopic column adjuster. The 2.0 liter SX gets what Kia calls it Motor driven Power Steering. This is an EPS system much like in the Civic, which uses an electric motor to drive the steering instead of it being directly hydraulically driven. This allows variable steering assistance – heavy at high speeds but lighter at low speeds to assist with parking.
