With the name derived from the Korean words “to arise to the world from Asia”, it is fitting for it does fill in the void on providing efficient and high-performance cars. In fact, the company is that nation’s oldest car company, showing that it has a legacy it can stand up to.

Kia is primarily known for these accomplishments:

Distinct Look – to stand out from the rest of the motoring pack, cars from this brand come with a corporate grille, incorporating a unique and professional look. Otherwise known as the “Tiger Nose”, the look created by the grille allows owners to take pride of having a great looking car.

Military Contribution – showing the world (and mainly the South Korean Army) that technology from this company is the way to go, Kia is known as the sole supplier and outfitter of its nation’s military vehicles. The reliability and endurance of their vehicles have led many successful skirmishes (whether it be actual or practice ones), showing their might in engineering and industrial warfare.
