South Korean car manufacturer Kia that had made its debut in the Indian market in 2019 has now unveiled their new logo.

The introduction of the new logo represents Kia’s ambitions to establish a leadership position in the future mobility industry by revamping nearly all facets of its business. The logo is a symbol of Kia’s new brand purpose and the values it promises to offer customers through future products and services, and the experiences these enable. Kia seals its brand promise by developing the new logo to resemble a handwritten signature. The rhythmical, unbroken line of the logo conveys Kia’s commitment to bringing moments of inspiration, while its symmetry demonstrates confidence. The rising gestures of the logo embody Kia’s rising ambitions for the brand, and, more importantly, what it offers customers.

As mentioned above, Kia made its entry in the Indian market a couple of years ago and its first product Seltos was a hit. It is now one of the best selling mid-size SUV in Indian market. Seltos competes with SUVs like Hyundai Creta, MG Hector, Tata Harrier in the segment. It became popular among buyers because of its bold looks and feature loaded cabin. The manufacturer then introduced the luxury MOV Carnival in the market. It currently has no competition as it is placed above Toyota’s popular Innova Crysta and way cheaper than other options like Toyota Vellfire and Mercedes Benz V-Class.
In 2020, Kia showcased the concept model of their third product at the Auto Expo. It was a sub-4 meter compact SUV and within six months after showcasing it at the Expo, Kia had launched the Sonet SUV. It is currently the most feature loaded SUV in the segment and competes with SUVs like Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV300 in the segment. Both Seltos and Sonet became a hit in the market within short span of time while the Carnival is doing decent numbers. Kia will be launching more products in our market in the coming years.
