Kia

Kia Motors is a South Korean automaker that started selling its vehicles in the U.S. in the early 1990s, with the Kia Sephia sedan and later the Sportage SUV. The company was acquired by Hyundai Motors in 1998, and since then, Kia has been on a dramatic upswing. It offers a broad lineup of well-built coupes, sedans and crossovers that stand out for their stylish looks, comfort and value, including an industry-leading warranty. Over the years, Kia has tried to make a bigger name for itself with luxury sedans such as the Kia Cadenza and K900, plus a unique sport-oriented hatchback in the Kia Stinger. Notable Kias today include SUVs such as the Kia Seltos, Sportage, Sorento, Telluride and the all-electric EV6 and EV9. It also has stylish sedans such as the Kia Forte — now called the K4 — and the midsize K5.
