Kia is a Korean term for “coming from Asia” as “ki” means “to come” and “a” stands for Asia. The brand has become a house-hold name in countries across the globe such as Asia, the US, South Africa and in Europe and has created competition for the other successful car brands available. They are currently one of the world’s top manufacturer of cars, selling on average 2.1 million cars per year. Kia have over 44 000 employees working for them in jobs such as manufacturing, assembly, marketing and sales. One of the most successful Kia models is the Kia Rio, 

 

Kia cars are assembled and constructed in 13 separate manufacturing plants throughout eight countries worldwide, plus six Research and Development Centres in Japan, the US and Germany. These centres ensure that the technology used in car models, design of vehicles, and the specific style which Kia cars have become well known for are incorporated into all models. Their vehicles are sold in 172 countries across the globe. The Kia, along with the Hyundai, is reported to be the fifth largest car manufacturer in the world. Buying a new car of quality at a good price has never been easier.

 

Peter Schreyer, former mastermind of design for many other car models such as the VW Beetle, VW Golf, Audi TT, Audi A4 and Audi A6, has joined Kia Motors as the head of global design operations. He generates the brand line-up and style of cars from the Namyang Design Centre in Korea and other design centres in Los Angeles, Tokyo and Frankfurt.
