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
“What is a Kia?,” “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 syl-
lable,
a
, means “Asia.” So, the word
Kia
, means “to arise from”
or “to come up out of Asia to the world.”
Enjoy your Vehicle!
