Kia

Overview

A Korean brand that has long played second fiddle to the more established Japanese options, Kia has gone through a considerable upgrade and rebranding. While Kia has offered affordable, practical cars since coming to the U.S. in the early 90s, the brand is now a leader in several segments. Design is a key Kia feature, and as a result their cars look and feel like a step up from many Hyundai, Nissan and Toyota models. Kia has also become a leader in EVs and hybrids.
