About Kia

Kia went bankrupt in 1997 during the Asian financial crisis, and in 1998 Hyundai bought a majority stake. Hyundai is still its largest shareholder, and many Kias share their engineering with Hyundais.

Same car, different badge

Optima (2000–2005) is a rebadged Hyundai Sonata.
Sportage was developed alongside the Hyundai Tucson, and the second-generation Sorento alongside the Hyundai Santa Fe.
Sedona (second generation) was sold as the Hyundai Entourage in 2007–09.
Sephia from 1995 used Mazda's 1.8-litre BP engine, as fitted to the Mazda Familia.
