Kia, The Company
Now that you are the owner of a Kia Vehicle, you’ll probably be asked a lot of questions about
your vehicle and the company like “Who is Kia?”, “What does ‘Kia’” mean?”.
Here are some answers. First, Kia is the oldest car company in Korea. It’s 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, a, means “Asia.” So, the word Kia, means “to arise
from” or “to come up out of Asia to the world.”
Enjoy your Vehicle!
