KIA

Kia is a widely recognised and trusted South Korean automobile manufacturer, established in
December 1944 by Kyungsung Precision Industry. Initially a manufacturer of steel tubing and
bicycle parts, it wasn’t until 1973 that Kia embarked on its journey into the world of car
manufacturing.

The first car to be produced under the Kia banner was the Brisa, a small compact car that came
into production in 1974 and, despite tough competition, managed to carve a niche for itself in
the Asian market.

Over the years, Kia has become synonymous with affordable, reliable vehicles that cater to a
broad audience. In 1994, the Kia Sportage was launched, marking the brand’s first entry into the
compact SUV segment.

This model was a remarkable success and remains a popular choice
among consumers today.

In terms of business progression, Kia has seen its fair share of challenges and opportunities
over the decades. Following bankruptcy in 1997 due to the financial crisis in Asia, the brand was
acquired by Hyundai Motor Company in 1998.

In 2021, Kia sold more than 2.7 million vehicles worldwide, and enjoys around a 3% global
market share by revenue. In the UK, Kia was named “Car Brand of the Year” by Which? In 2022
for its value for money.

The current Kia lineup in the UK features a range of models designed to cater to various
lifestyles and needs, hatchbacks, estates and Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs).

For city dwellers, the Kia Picanto serves as an ideal compact car and it has been met with
widespread approval, even winning the What Car? ‘Best Value Car of the Year’ award.

The Kia Ceed, available in multiple formats including the XCeed crossover, stands out as a
versatile option perfect for both city driving and long journeys – offering a bit more comfort and
space.

For those looking for a fully electric vehicle, Kia has a range of options from the award-winning
Niro EV to the higher end EV6.

Kia also offers a competitive range of SUVs, such as the compact Stonic, the ever-popular
Sportage, and the more spacious Sorento.
