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

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!
