A Legacy of Innovation, A Future of Movement
Founded in 1944, Kia began as a humble manufacturer of bicycle parts in Seoul, South Korea. Over the decades, it has evolved into a global automotive powerhouse, pioneering Korea’s first automobile and leading the country’s automotive exports.
The name ‘Kia’ originates from the Chinese characters ‘Ki’ (to arise or come up) and ‘A’ (Asia), symbolizing the brand’s rise from Asia to the world stage.
