Kia Motors, also known as Kia, is a global South Korean automaker with headquarters in Seoul with a huge sale of more than 2.8 million automobiles in the year 2019.
I got to thinking about one particular big old Kia from the late Nineties the other day, and upon searching it on An Internet, I realized the Korean manufacturer had a much longer history with large cars than I'd thought previously. Given most of them were (or are) off-limits to the North American market, it might be time for a history lesson. We begin today with Kia's first large car. It's one you've probably heard of, because it was a Peugeot.
Kia has changed a lot in the past 30 years, going from budget car brand to becoming a rival to some established premium brands - how have they done it?
