lot of questions about your vehicle and the company like “What is a Kia?”, “Who is Kia?”,
“What does ‘Kia’ mean?”.
Here are some answers. First, Kia is the oldest car company in Korea. It is a company that
has thousands of employees focused on building high-quality vehicles at affordable prices.
The first syllable,
Ki , in the word “Kia” means “to arise from to the world” or “to come up
out of to the world.”The second syllable,
