​@@wooshcthis is wrong in that they definitely aren't the same company. You can buy shares in Kia right now. Hyundai is a chaebol which is a family-controlled Korean conglomerate. Hyundai own a third of Kia, but Kia owns shares in a bunch of Hyundai subsidiaries. Chaebol ownership structures are really confusing and complex because chaebols operate in so many industries/sectors in Korea under subsisidiaries, but also because they are designed to strengthen the power and control of the family, since chaebol families own a very small portion of their own publicly listed subsidiaries. You're sorta right in that Kia's chairman is Hyundai's chairman and Hyundai's chairman is the heir to the Hyundai chaebol, so they operate as one entity at the executive level but operationally they are separate. I'd say Kia's direction is largely dictated by Hyundai's chairman.

I loved my Kia 2013 Kia Sportage. I was a Honda and Toyota owner for years and on an impulsive buy I decide to go against my own advice and bought my 2013 Kia Sportage brand spanking new. I really didn't have a complaint about Kia until I was riding down the highway one evening and the car just lost power. After towing it away the mechanic told me that the engine was seized and it was a $7000 repair. He advised me to call Kia because this appears to be a Known issue.

6 years ago I bought my first car, a used 2010 Kia forte but I never really liked it, it was all I can afford at the time. I actually didn’t like any Kia at the time but they have changed so much since then and now Kia has some of the nicest cars on the market. 4 months ago I bought my dream car (that was in my budget) a 2023 Kia K5 GT Line in Polar White with red leather interior and a Panoramic Sunroof. I love it!

Why So Many Hyundai and Kia Vehicles Are Getting Recalled for Fire Risk Since 2010, more than 3,100 Hyundai and Kia vehicles have caught fire, injuring 103 people and killing one, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the government agency investigating both automakers. These fires may be related to a type of four-cylinder engine used by both automakers. I guess not quality nor safety.

Such a fan of this rebrand. Completely echo what Blake said about branding lagging behind the quality of the industrial design and engineering. They first launched this at an autoshow a few years ago on one of those futuristic prototypes cars and I think that was must have been a focus group or period of sorts to see how well it was received. Its so good. Really elevated the brand!

Back in the late 80's, KIA went into partnership with FORD to produce the PRIDE (AKA FESTIVE in US - long story) They changed their logo to oval shape around that time, and the size of the oval was EXACTLY same as the FORD's oval, so they can keep everything same except the emblem.

I get your concern, but personally I don't think this is an issue. A logo is a symbol, not text. I think they did a great job abstracting the text to make it a logo. In fact, by making it NOT look like it is just Kia in a different font I think there is added intrigue for those who may not be familiar with the new rebranding. I think the fact that people are searching for KN proves that more people are getting curious about the brand, whereas if it was immediately legible as Kia, they may have not done the search in the first place. Its a logo that if you don't know you'll have to find out, but once you know what it is, you will never unknow. I think it strikes that balance perfectly in my opinion.

As a designer I loved how KIA evolved into the digital world, some manufacturers cannot give themselves this freedom because of their history such as VW (I also think they did a great job at making it feel modern but keep the og feeling) KIA had a chance to stand out and they took it because their old logo hadn’t a real personality, about legibility it really doesn’t matter since the concept is stronger than the need to read it, if you teach someone a certain figure is pronounced any way you want they’ll learn it eventually, that’s why when we see the swoosh we think Nike, easy

I hope this really takes off. I think it was much needed and the whole idea and perception of what kia and Hyundai are goes out the window because they are really beautiful cars, just the brand that needs to dig itself out of the budget name/market.

The way I know it's a KIA is because their logo isn't easily read. From this piece I get what they are going for and understand why, but when I see it on the road I have to tell myself "oh that emble, letter mashup, is a Kia", but my mind has a hard time seeing the "K", "I", & "A".

Well I bought a 23 Telluride from Rick Case Kia a few weeks ago and that dealership has definitely not been remodeled (yet) for the new branding look. However their customer service was phenomenal and I got a fully loaded brand new vehicle with no markup, so I’m glad I went there! I also much prefer the new logo as opposed to the old one that was on my 2020 Telluride.

Love the new logo! It looks modern and more stylish. I have a 2025 Kia Soul that has 88,000 miles on it. It still runs well, and I have only had to do expected maintenance on it and a cylanoid (sp?) that was covered by warranty. Since it is one of the top teenage joyride cars, I use a Club steering wheel lock on it. Unsure if my next car will be another Kia, though.

I have to say, Kia's rebranding couldn't really have been more successful. A couple years ago, if you told a bunch of extroverts that you drove a Kia, they'd point at you and laugh. Now they's look at you and ask "Whoa... You mean, like, one of those? Can i see it?"

The 3rd stroke of the K is too awkward..it would have been better to have it vertical like the last stroke...legibility in the end is not important ...but the shape IS. It's a logo ..not a sentence.

When I first saw the redesigned logo I came home and searched to see who was behind the new brand effort and found out it was Black Space in Munich. And a few weeks later, in November, bought my first EV which was a KIA Niro. A good entry level car that ISN'T a Tesla.

I see presumably stolen Kia’s almost every day driving in Milwaukee. Broken out taped up window with no plates and all beat up. Good job raising awareness and focusing on a logo rather than anti theft features! My elderly neighbors who woke up carless and the police thank you for keeping life interesting and keeping police employed. Thank you.
