Used Kia for Sale in Philadelphia, PA

Kia automobiles are the second branch of Korean automotive expansion in the US after Hyundai. This is the seventh most popular automaker in the world, with around 3 million cars sold annually. Kia plants are scattered all around the globe, including North America with West Point, Ga plant. In 1999 Kia motors became part of the Hyundai Kia Automotive group. Nowadays, Kia and Hyundai cars resemble twin brothers. Vehicle platforms are the same, but design slightly differs as german designer Peter Schreyer has been in charge of all the Kia models since 2006. Usually, a new Hyundai model is released first, and after 6-12 months, a Kia model follows.
