kia, the company
Congratulations! Your selection of a Kia was a wise investment. It
will give you years of driving pleasure. 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 is 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.”
Drive safely and enjoy your Kia!
