KIA Electrified Cars Brochures & Manuals PDF above the page.

 

The date of foundation of the company KIA is considered to be May 15, 1944.

 

Since the mid-2000s, the company has been closely engaged in the development of a promising direction of hybrid cars and electric vehicles.

 

KIA took the first steps to create its own electric car in 2011.

 

As an experiment in introducing green technology, the company released 2,000 KIA Ray EV electric vehicles for South Korean officials.

 

As the base model of the future eco-car, the popular city crossover KIA Soul was chosen. The presentation of the production version was announced for 2013.

 

Not stopping there, KIA decided to further develop the serial eco-friendly segment, so in 2016, celebrating its first anniversary of work in the Mexican market, the brand began production of the first hybrid car KIA Niro in Mexico.

 

Only by the end of the year, more than 30 thousand hybrid cars were produced and sold here.
