Powerful all-new Fastback Sport Sedan Redefines the Kia Brand - Kia Motors follows through on the promise of a production model of the GT concept - Designed in Frankfurt, developed on the Nurburgring, industry-leading quality by Kia DETROIT, January 8, 2017 – At an event typically dominated by introductions from American auto companies, Kia Motors America (KMA) today stole the spotlight with the world debut of the all-new 2018 Kia Stinger (hereafter Stinger) at the North American International Auto Show. A five-passenger fastback sports sedan poised to redefine a segment currently populated by European automakers, the Stinger promises to be the highest-performance production vehicle in the company’s history and is backed by Kia Motors’ industry-leading quality and reliability. Offered with multiple engine and drivetrain configurations and luxurious accommodations, the Stinger is planned to go on sale in the U.S. late this year. Pricing will be announced closer to the vehicle’s launch date. “Unlike any Kia that has come before it, the Stinger really is a dream car for us, and here today in Detroit, that dream is now a reality after years of commitment and hard work from a passionate group of designers, engineers and executives around the world,” said Orth Hedrick, vice president, product planning, Kia Motors America. “From its GT concept-car origins to the years of tuning and refining on the legendary Nurburgring circuit, no detail was too small to be obsessed over, and the result is simply stunning.” Instantly recognizable as a direct evolution of the concept that preceded it, the all-new 2018 Kia Stinger design was overseen by Peter Schreyer, Kia Motors’ chief design officer, and his talented team of designers in Frankfurt. Ride and handling development was looked after by Albert Biermann, head of Kia’s Vehicle Test and High Performance Development and his group of engineers in Korea and on the grueling Nurburgring racing circuit. But what makes a true gran turismo? This question was the foundation for a years-long journey that began when the GT concept was first unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. Although every Kia design study has a purpose, the GT concept was something considered by many outside the company as little more than a dream for a brand known for producing mass-market transportation rooted in value. But the GT ignited embers of passion that sparked a fire within the organization and over the next five years that fire would grow beyond fantasy and morph into reality. Once the Stinger was green lighted, that gran turismo question became a mantra as development commenced. Coming from Kia, the design had to be bold. And it was. But it also had to be nimble and fast while also luxurious and quiet. It had to achieve the perfect balance of ride and handling and seat five comfortably with room for luggage. It had to be a lot of things, but most of all, it had to be an authentic gran turismo. And it is. Design Turning a concept into a production car is no small task and Schreyer looked no further than Kia’s Frankfurt studio – the birthplace of the GT concept – to bring the Stinger to life. “A true gran turismo, a car for spirited long-distance driving, is not about outright power, hard-edged dynamics and brutal styling, all at the expense of luxury, comfort and grace,” notes Gregory Guillaume, chief designer, Kia Motors Europe. “The Stinger has nothing to do with being the first to arrive at the destination – this car is all about the journey. It’s about passion.” From its sleek front clip through its svelte flanks, and up to its powerful haunches, the Stinger exudes a muscular confidence. Key to its road presence are the rear-wheel-drive proportions; a long hood and short front overhang, an extended wheelbase to deliver a spacious cabin, and a long rear overhang with strong shoulders. The Stinger’s stance and visual balance are designed to lend the car an air of elegance and athleticism, rather than boy-racer aggression. The wide front and rear track, along with the recessed contours along the doors, enhance the visual power of the Stinger’s shoulder line as well as its fastback silhouette. Other purely functional elements of the exterior design – the front air curtains, wheel arch gills, smooth underbody, and integrated rear diffuser – aid its aerodynamic efficiency. The rear valance houses four oval exhaust pipes. Kia’s signature ‘tiger-nose’ grille sits proudly between complex LED headlamps. The low-slung cabin with its steeply raked windshield and backlight, sits toward the rear of vehicle, creating a fast silhouette. Inside is a space dedicated to the thrill of driving while cossetting the occupants in luxury. Available ultra-soft Nappa leather covers the deeply contoured seats and the driver’s seat has available air-cell bladders in the seatback and bolsters for optimal support and comfort. A confident dashboard creates a strong horizontal plane for the driver to work. The center console is intuitively split into two specific areas: the infotainment controls sit neatly below a large color touchscreen, while the climate and ventilation controls nestle beneath. Front and center of the driver is a thick, leather-wrapped steering wheel and a single instrument binnacle with a combination of analog and digital instrumentation. The large gauges are ringed in metal and accentuated with sweeping red needles. A color TFT screen between the gauges relays performance data such as cornering G-forces, lap times and engine-oil temperature, along with ancillary information such as the trip computer, driver settings, navigation and diagnostics. Aeronautically-inspired spoked circular vents are found front and rear and a tasteful satin chrome trim piece encircles the cabin. The effect is a feeling of cocooned intimacy. But the long wheelbase allows for generous front and rear leg room and the low seating position provides ample head room front and back. Chassis Joining the company from BMW in December, 2014, Albert Biermann’s first look at the Stinger signaled to him a car that had to live up to its stunning design from behind the wheel. “I think for the Kia brand, the Stinger is like a special event,” notes Biermann. “Because nobody expects such a car, not just the way it looks but also the way it drives. It's a whole different animal.” Setting the manufacturing hard-points of the body-in-white would define Stinger and the engineers looked carefully across a landscape dotted with contenders. At 114.4 inches, the Stinger’s wheelbase is longer than the Audi A4, Infiniti Q50, Lexus IS, BMW 4 Gran Coupe and even the Lexus GS and Mercedes CLS1. It’s also longer overall (190.2 inches) and wider (73.6 inches) than the others in the segment, allowing for spacious accommodations. The Stinger’s cargo area is also larger than many in its class, with enough space for full-size luggage or golf bags and a power liftgate with Smart Trunk functionality is available. Riding on a chassis comprised of 55 percent advanced high-strength steel, the Stinger provides an ultra-stiff foundation for the ride-and-handling engineers to work with. This rigidity also contributes to reduced NVH and a quiet cabin. The MacPherson front and multi-link rear suspension has been tuned to provide optimal feedback to the driver. A Kia first, ride-damping and vehicle handling traits may be modified by the driver through an electronically adjustable suspension known as Dynamic Stability Damping Control. While always reacting predictably to the driver’s inputs, depending on road conditions and driving style, the Stinger can be tuned to respond with more agility through corners as the system softens the front shocks and firms up the rear. Conversely, improved high-speed stability is achieved when the system stiffens the front shocks and softens the rear. The system is accessed through five drive modes (another Kia first): Personal, Eco, Sport, Comfort and Smart. Standard variable ratio Rack-mounted Motor Driven Power Steering (R-MDPS) offers razor-sharp feedback through direct mounting of the electric motor on the steering rack, enhancing steering response and reducing unwanted vibration from transmitting through the column. Steering boost is also adjustable through the five selectable drive modes. Powertrain If the chassis symbolizes the bones of a gran turismo, then surely the available powertrains represent its heart. Oriented longitudinally and set rearward beneath the long, sculpted hood, a choice of two turbocharged engines are available. While both engines are still under development, the standard 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder Theta II engine produces an estimated 255 horsepower at approximately 6,200 rpm. Max torque of 260 lb.-ft. is available from 1,400 – 4,000 rpm. Performance credentials are further enhanced through the available 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 Lambda II engine, which is anticipated to produce 365 horsepower at an estimated 6,000 rpm and offer max torque of 376 lb.-ft. from 1,300 – 4,500 rpm. Kia is targeting 5.1 seconds to 62 mph and a top speed of 167 mph with the twin turbocharged V6. The Stinger features a second-generation eight-speed rear-drive automatic transmission. First offered in the K900 luxury sedan, the gearbox has been designed in-house and rewards drivers with crisp shifts and maximized fuel efficiency. More typically found in aviation- and racing-engine applications, the transmission features Kia’s first use of a Centrifugal Pendulum Absorber (CPA) torque converter to help reduce torsional vibrations through the drivetrain. Drivers can let the gearbox manage shifts on its own or may selectively run through the gears via paddle shifters mounted aft of the steering wheel. As with the suspension and steering, up to five different shift patterns may be selected through the vehicle’s electronic drive-mode system. Throttle mapping is also adjusted accordingly. Recognizing that passionate drivers may not always reside in optimal climes, the Stinger is Kia’s first sedan available with rear- or all-wheel drive. Rear-wheel biased for optimal control in the wet or dry, the AWD system features a new Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control system which monitors driver inputs and road conditions and automatically applies power and braking force to the appropriate wheels to maintain course in adverse conditions. Rear-drive vehicles get the benefit of a mechanical limited slip differential to help evenly distribute power through the rear wheels. A choice of alloy wheels and tires are also offered. The 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder models ride on 225/45R-18 performance tires while the 3.3-liter V6 is shod with staggered ultra-high performance rubber; 225/40R-19 in front and 255/35R-19 at the rear. Vented Brembo®2 disc brakes are standard on the 3.3-liter twin turbo and feature quad-piston front calipers and dual-piston rear calipers. Advanced Technology & Convenience Offering luxurious amenities and unexpected features have become part of Kia’s DNA and the Stinger continues that tradition. Multiple Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) seamlessly work together to enhance the driving experience. In the United States, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conservatively estimates that 100,000 police-reported crashes are the direct result of driver fatigue each year3. This results in an estimated 1,550 deaths, and 71,000 injuries annually. A Kia first is the new Driver Attention Alert (DAA)4 system to help combat distracted or drowsy driving. The system monitors a number of inputs from the vehicle and the driver and will sound a warning chime and display a graphic in the instrument binnacle that it’s time to take a break from driving if it senses the driver’s attention level has been significantly reduced. Forward Collision Assistance (FCA)3 with integrated Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)3 with pedestrian detection can detect a potential collision with another vehicle or pedestrian and help bring the car to a halt. Advanced Smart Cruise Control (ASCC)3 maintains a pre-set distance between the Stinger and the vehicle in front and can bring the car to a full stop in congested traffic. Lane Keep Assist (LKA)3 actively monitors the vehicle’s intended lane and will alert the driver with an audible warning along with providing steering input to help maintain the vehicle’s position. Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)3 scans the area behind the vehicle when backing from a parking space and will alert the driver with an audible warning if cross traffic is detected. Connectivity, entertainment and vehicle information can be as important as a dynamic driving experience and the Stinger comes to market with the latest infotainment systems. The height-adjustable color Head-Up Display (HUD)5 display enables the driver to see key driving information reflected on the windshield glass, including speed, turn-by-turn navigation, audio and cruise control settings and Blind Spot Detection information. Resting within the center console is a wireless Smartphone charging pad and Bluetooth®6 hands-free operation is standard while many of the vehicle’s subsystems may be accessed through the steering-wheel-mounted controls. Long-distance travel is a hallmark of the gran turismo ownership experience and there is a trio of high-performance audio systems designed to turn the interior into a dynamic concert hall as the miles blur by. The base audio system for the 2.0-liter turbo features six-speakers and a seven-inch haptic touchscreen with the latest version of UVO, Kia’s award-winning telematics systems. The standard system found in the 3.3-liter twin turbo ups the speaker count to nine and includes an external amplifier. The available premium Harman/Kardon®7 audio system pumps out 720 watts through an external amplifier to provide crystal-clear music. With 15 speakers and Kia’s first under-seat mounted subwoofers tucked beneath the driver and passenger seats, the system features Clari-Fi™8, a patented music restoration technology that rebuilds audio signals that are lost in the digital compression process. This technology returns a high-fidelity listening experience to any compressed digital source. The system also comes equipped with next-generation QuantumLogic™9 Surround Sound technology, which extracts signals from the original recording and redistributes them into an authentic, multidimensional soundstage for playback that is clear, refined and full of detail. * The Sorento and Optima GDI (EX, SX & Limited and certain LX Trims only) are assembled in the United States from U.S. and globally sourced parts 1 Comparisons based on current model year vehicles 2 Brembo is a registered trademark of Brembo S.p.A 3 National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) Drowsy Driving Research and Program Plan; March 2016 4 These systems are not substitutes for proper and safe driving, parking, and/or backing-up procedures.

Moćna sportska limuzina redefinirala Kiju kao brand, a kod nas i diljem Europe stiže krajem godine Kia je na nedavno otvorenom salonu automobila u Detroitu, gdje tradicionalno caruju američki proizvođači automobila, premijerno predstavila Kiju Stinger. Radi se o sportskoj limuzini s 5 sjedala koja će redefinirati klasu u kojoj trenutno dominiraju europski brandovi. Stinger obećava najveće performanse u povijesti Kije te je podržan najdužim europskim tvorničkim jamstvom, koje garantira kvalitetu i pouzdanost. Vrhunska Kia kvaliteta dizajnirana u Frankfurtu, razvijena na Nürburgringu Kia Stinger je u trenutku prepoznatljiv kao direktna evolucija prethodnih koncepata nastalih pod dirigentnom palicom Petera Schreyera, Kijinog glavnog dizajnera i već neko vrijeme jednog od trojice predsjednika korporacije, te njegovog nadarenog tima iz Kijinog dizajnerskog centra u Frankfurtu. Za razvoj voznih mogućnosti i upravljivost modela pobrinuo se Albert Biermann, voditelj Kijinog odjela za testiranje vozila i razvoj snažnijih vozila, koji je sa svojim timom razvijao vozilo u glavnom R&D centru u Namyangu (J. Koreja) i na čuvenom njemačkom trkalištu Nürburgring. Kia Motors ispunjava obećanje o serijskoj proizvodnji koncepta GT Ali što je ustvari pravi gran turismo? To pitanje je bilo osnova za dugogodišnje putovanje, koje je započelo 2011., kada je na salonu u Frankfurtu predstavljen koncept GT. Iako svaka Kijina dizajnerska studija ima određenu svrhu, koncept GT je u široj javnosti više shvaćen kao san, jer se na kraju krajeva radilo o brandu koji je poznat po masovnoj proizvodnji vozila s dobrom vrijednošću za svoju cijenu. Ipak, GT je potaknuo strast, koja je u narednih pet godina san pretvorila u javu. Nakon što je upaljeno zeleno svjetlo za Stinger, gran turismo postao je misija i počeo je razvoj modela. S obzirom na to da se radi o Kiji to je značilo da dizajn mora biti odvažan. I bio je. Da mora biti okretan i brz, ali istovremeno luksuzan i tih. Morao je omogućiti optimalni balans između vožnje i upravljivosti na jednoj strani i komfornog prijevoza pet osoba i njihove prtljage na drugoj. Morao je biti mnogo stvari, ali najviše od svega morao je biti autentični gran turismo. I jest. Dizajn Pošto pretvaranje koncepta u serijsko vozilo nije mačji kašalj Schreyer se obratio Kijinom dizajnerskom centru u Frankfurtu – mjestu rođenja koncepta GT – kako bi Stingeru udahnuli život. “Kod pravog gran turisma, automobila za duge vožnje, ne radi se na najvećoj snazi, tvrdoj dinamici i brutalnom stilu na račun luksuza, udobnosti i slave,” rekao je Gregory Guillaume, Kijin glavni dizajner za Europu. “Stinger nije namijenjen tome da prvi stigne na cilj. To je automobil kod kojeg je važno putovanje. Radi se o strasti.” Stinger zrači mišićavim samopouzdanjem – od mekog prednjeg dijela do vitkih bokova i jakih bedara. Srž njegove pojave na cesti su dimenzije prilagođene zadnjem pogonu; dug poklopac motora i kratak prednji prevjes, dug međuosovinski razmak, koji omogućuje prostranu kabinu te dug zadnji prevjes s moćnim ramenima. Stingerov stav i vizualni balans stvoreni su kako bi vozilu dali otmjenost i sportski duh umjesto mladenačke agresivnosti. Šasija Kad je Albert Biermann, koji je u prosincu 2014. iz BMW-ovog odjela M došao u Kiju, prvi put ugledao Stingera činilo mu se da auto mora proizlaziti iz osjećaja za volanom. “Smatram da je Stinger za Kia brand nešto kao poseban događaj,” kaže Biermann. “Jer nitko od Kije ne očekuje takav automobil, ne samo zbog toga kako izgleda nego i zbog toga kakav osjećaj u vožnji donosi. To je nešto sasvim drugo.” S 2.905 mm Stingerov je međuosovinski razmak duži od konkurenata kao što su Audi A4, Infiniti Q50, Lexus IS, BMW 4 Gran Coupe ili čak Lexus GS i Mercedes CLS. Model je i duži (4.830 mm) i širi (1.870 mm) od konkurenata u klasi, što mu omogućuje iznimnu prostranost u kabini. Stingerov prtljažni prostor je također veći nego kod većine u klasi i ima dovoljno prostora za odlaganje putničkih kovčega ili opreme za golf, a na raspolaganju je i električno otvaranje i zatvaranje prtljažnih vrata. Stinger je postavljen na šasiji, koja je 55% izrađena od naprednog vrlo čvrstog čelika (AHSS). Ta tvrdoća između ostalog pozitivno utječe na smanjenje buke i vibracija u kabini. Ovjes – sprijeda MacPhersonove opružne noge, a straga multilink – vozaču nudi optimalan odaziv. U Kiji premijerno predstavljaju elektronički prilagodljivo djelovanje podvozja (Dynamic Stability Damping Control). Iako se Stinger uvijek ponaša predvidljivo i u skladu s vozačevim odazivom, u zavisnosti od uvjeta i načina vožnje, može se podesiti za živahniju vožnju u zavojima jer sustav u tom slučaju malo olabavi prednje amortizere i ukruti zadnje. Upravo suprotno djeluje sustav pri vožnji velikom brzinom – tada je vozilo stabilnije zahvaljujući krućim prednjim amortizerima i mekšim zadnjim. Sustav vozaču omogućava biranje nekog od pet načina: Personal, Eco, Sport, Comfort i Smart (premijerno u Kiji). Električni servo volan standardno je postavljen direktno na letvi volana (R-MDPS), što omogućuje direktniji odaziv i smanjuje neželjene vibracije, koje se prenose preko šipke. Tvrdoća volana je također podesiva na pet načina. Pogonski sklop Ako šasija predstavlja kičmu gran turisma, onda pogonski sklop predstavlja njegovo srce. Kupci će moći birati između 2 turbo motora – oba ispod izdužene haube postavljena uzdužno. Iako podaci o motorima još nisu sasvim konačni već sada je poznato da 2,0-litarski turbo četverocilindraš Theta II proizvodi 255 KS pri 6.200 okretaja u minuti. Najveći okretni moment je 353 Nm, koji je raspoloživ od 1.400 do 4.000 okr./min. Još snažniji je 3,3-litarski twin-turbo V6 Lambda II motor snage 365 KS pri 6.000 okr./min i okretnim momentom 510 Nm između 1.300 i 4.500 okr./min. Očekivano ubrzanje 6-cilindraša od 0 do 100 km/h je 5,1 sekunda, a maksimalna brzina 269 km/h. Stinger predstavlja 2. generaciju 8-stupanjskog automatskog mjenjača za zadnji pogon. Mjenjač koji je bio prvi put predstavljen u luksuznoj limuzini K900 – plod Kijinog vlastitog razvoja - vozačima nudi glatko mijenjanje brzina i minimalnu potrošnju goriva. Prvi put Kia nudi pretvarač okretnog momenta CPA (Centrifugal Pendulum Absorber) – uobičajeniji kod avionskih i trkaćih motora – koji smanjuje torzione vibracije na pogonskom sustavu. Vozači mogu birati između automatskog i ručnog mijenjanja brzina pomoću ručica pored volana. Kao i kod ovjesa i upravljivosti vozač može birati jedan od pet načina vožnje. Tome je prilagođeno i djelovanje - dodavanje ili oduzimanje gasa. Stinger je Kijina prva limuzina sa zadnjim pogonom i pogonom na sva četiri kotača. Varijante sa zadnjim pogonom će imati mehaničku blokadu diferencijala, koje će biti zadužena za raspoređivanje snage na zadnjim kotačima, dok će AWD varijante imati novi sustav DTVC (Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control), koji prati vozačeve inpute i uvjete vožnje te automatski raspoređuje snagu i kočionu silu na odgovarajući kotač s namjenom održavanja zadanog smjera. 2,0-litarski turbo 4-cilindraš je obuven u pneumatike dimenzija 225/45R-18, a 3,3-litarski 6-cilindraš će imati prednje pneumatike dimenzija 225/40 R19, a straga 255/35 R19. 6-cilindraš je standardno opremljen s Brembo kočnicama – sprijeda s četiri klipa, a straga s dva. Napredne tehnologije i udobnost Već dugo je poznato da Kia strankama pruža luksuznu opremu i daje mnogo više od očekivanja kupaca, zato Stinger nastavlja tu tradiciju. Multifunkcijski sustav asistencije ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) udružuje sve napredne funkcije koje vozaču olakšavaju vožnju i povećavaju užitak u vožnji. Američka uprava za sigurnost u prometu (NHTSA) ocijenjuje da je za 100.000 prometnih nesreća u SAD-u direktni uzrok umor vozača. Zbog toga godišnje pogine oko 1.550 osoba, a 71.000 ih je povrijeđenih. Kijin prvi sustav za upozoravanje vozača na dekoncentriranost DAA (Driver Attention Alert) pomaže kod savladavanja dekoncentracije ili pospanosti tijekom vožnje. Sustav prati broj inputa vozila i vozača i u slučaju da detektira osjetno smanjenju vozačevu koncentraciju zvučnim upozorenjem i grafičkim prikazom na mjeraču vozača upozorava da je potrebno napraviti pauzu. Sustav za spriječavanje sudara FCA (Forward Collision Assistance) s ugrađenim automatskim kočenjem u nuždi AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking) s detekcijom pješaka može detektirati eventualni sudar s drugim vozilom ili pješakom i pomaže kod zaustavljanja vozila. Napredni radarski tempomat (ASCC) održava unaprijed određenu udaljenost od Stingera do vozila ispred i u slučaju zgusnutog prometa može u potpunosti zaustaviti vozilo. Sustav za održavanje vozila unutar vozne trake (LKA) aktivno prati položaj vozila i zvučnim upozorenjem upozorava vozača te okretanjem volana održava željeni položaj vozila. Sustav za praćenje poprečnog prometa kod vožnje unazad RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) na parkiralištu skenira područje iza vozila i u slučaju detekcije poprečnog prometa zvučnim upozorenjem upozorava vozača. Povezivost, zabava i putne informacije vozila također su važni kao i dinamične vozne osobine, zato Stinger dolazi na tržište s najnovijim infotainment sustavima. Po visini podesiv, zaslon u boji na vjetrobranskom staklu, (HUD) vozaču nudi ključne informacije, kao što su npr. brzina, navigacija zavoj za zavojem, podešavanje audio sustava i tempomata te upozoravanje na mrtve kutove. Stinger je standardno opremljen s bežičnim punjenjem mobilnog telefona i Bluetooth upravljanjem bez ruku, dok se do većine ostalih podsustava pristupa preko prekidača na upravljačkom obruču. Duga putovanja su zaštitni znak vlasnika vozila gran turismo, zato su na raspolaganju tri vrhunska audio sustava, koji unutrašnjost vozila pretvaraju u koncertnu dvoranu. Osnovni audio sustav namijenjen 2,0-litarskom turbo motoru uključuje 6 zvučnika i 7-inčni zaslon osjetljiv na dodir s najnovijom varijantom Kijinog sustava UVO. Uz 3,3-litarski twin turbo motor standardno dolazi 9 zvučnika i vanjsko pojačalo. Vrh ponude predstavlja premium audio sustav Harman/Kardon® snage 720 vati s vanjskim pojačalom, koji omogućuje kristalno čist zvuk. Sustav nudi 15 zvučnika i ispod svih sjedala smještene subwoofere (prvi put u Kiji), tehnologiju Clari-Fi™, koja obnavlja audio datoteke oštećene prilikom procesa digitalne kompresije.

Kia Motors Corporation spada među najuspješnije globalne automobilske tvrtke s naglašenim smislom za kvalitetne automobile za mlade u srcu. Tvrtka osnovana 1944. godine proizvede više od 3 milijuna vozila godišnje, koja putem razgranate prodajno-servisne mreže prodaje u 180 država. Kompanija širom svijeta zapošljava više od 49.000 ljudi i njihov adut je europski automobilski način rada. Ključna uloga u razvoju vozila namijenjenih europskom tržištu povjerena je tehničko-razvojnom i dizajnerskom centru u Frankfurtu. Dizajniranje svih vozila Kia odvija se pod vodstvom svjetski poznatog njemačkog dizajnera Petera Schreyera. Njegov rad potvrđuju brojne europske i međunarodne dizajnerske nagrade, kao što su red dot award, iF product design award i Automotive Brand Contest za najbolji dizajn u automobilizmu. Pri zadovoljstvu kupaca pogotovo odskaču modeli Soul i Sorento, koji su u studiji 2015 JD Power IQS pobijedili u svojim kategorijama, dok je Kia zauzela 1. mjesto od svih masovnih brendova i ukupno drugo (iza Porschea). Izrazito europsku orijentiranost Kia dopunjuje svojom modernom tvornicom u slovačkoj Žilini i europskim tehničkim centrom za razvoj i proizvodnju motora, koji Kiju postavljaju na tron proizvođača automobila s rekordno niskom potrošnjom goriva. Kia je između ostalog i službeni automobilski partner Svjetskog prvenstva u nogometu i glavni sponzor teniskog grand slama turnira Australian Open.
