Kia, formally known as Kia Corporation, is a well-known international automaker with its headquarters in Seoul, South Korea. Since its founding on December 11, 1944, Kia has evolved from a small producer of bicycles and steel tubing to one of the most well-known and regarded automotive brands in the world. The name “Kia” of the business is taken from the Sino-Korean characters “ki” (起), which means “to arise” or “come up out of,” and “a” (亞), which signifies “Asia.” The company’s aspirations to grow throughout Asia and beyond are reflected in this name.
