Kia Motors Corporation
Kia's US models include the Rio subcompact, the Sportage SUV, the Optima mid-size sedan, and the Sorento crossover. Kia also makes a number of commercial vehicles. Its high-capacity plants outside Korea are in the US, Slovakia, and China. After Korea, Kia's second-largest market is the US. Part of the Hyundia Kia Automotive Group, Kia operates as an affiliate of Hyundai Motor, which owns about a 35% stake in Kia. During tough economic times, pretty-good quality coupled with lower-than-Japan and Detroit prices translates into sales for South Korea's #2 carmaker (behind Hyundai Motor). Kia Motors produces some 1.5 million vehicles a year at nearly a dozen manufacturing and assembly plant in eight countries.
