New Haven Kia Dealers sell models that are considered to do well in hot weather, but you should know how to deal with some of the circumstances that may arise while driving in this type of weather. The first and important thing to do is to check your radiator's fluid levels regularly during pitstops on long journeys when the weather is hot.
The worst thing to have to do is pull over in the middle of the heat spell and get out of your car because the radiator is empty and the engine is about to over heat. It will take several minutes for you to be able to open the radiator, and if you did not bring cold water you will be in danger of overheating yourself. If your vehicle does overheat, you might consider calling a tow truck and getting yourself and the vehicle passengers to a safe cool location depending on the severity of the heat.
Check your tires to make sure that they are properly inflated during hot weather. You might assume that they are properly inflated, but you should always double check. Check your air conditioning to make sure that it is working properly before you set out. If you wait until you are driving before checking the A/C you might find out that it doesn't work at a point when it's too late. Continually check all vehicle lights and look out for any diagnostic problems regularly.
