Our partners at The Ocean Cleanup and their System 03 vessels recently returned to port in San Francisco. The Ocean Cleanup had been on a voyage to extract plastic from the world's largest accumulation of plastic - the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. This significant moment was marked by the announcement that The Ocean Cleanup declares the GPGP cleanable and is working on introducing an innovative extracting method with GPS trackers and AI-powered aerial drones. This advancement will improve the efficiency of the catch by hunting hotspots where plastic accumulates the most. For that, Boyan Slat, Founder and CEO, explained that hotspot hunting would reduce extraction time and costs. Through this partnership, Kia is proud to continue supporting the mission to rid the oceans of plastic. Congratulations to the entire team! 2024 EV9 GT-Line AWD and EV6 GT shown with optional features. Some features may vary.

We knew the 2025 Kia K5 GT was impressive, but now we’ve got something to compare it to. See how it matches up against the 2024 BMW 530i in both an acceleration and cornering test. #KiaK5 Professional driver on closed course. Do not attempt. Always drive safely and obey all traffic laws

Kia America reposted this
I'm proud to share that Kia America has achieved the highest number of awards by a single brand in the @JDPower 2024 APEAL Study. For the fourth consecutive year, the #KiaK5 has been named the highest-ranked Midsize Car. Our #KiaCarnival and the all-electric #KiaEV6 continue to lead their segments for the third year in a row. We are incredibly proud of the #KiaEV9, which earned its first segment award (Upper Midsize SUV) in its debut year. The #KiaForte also stands tall as the highest-ranked Compact Car for the second consecutive year. These accomplishments reinforce Kia's position as the third highest-ranking brand among mass-market competitors in the APEAL study, showcasing our commitment to delivering exceptional experiences to our customers.

This year marks our fifth consecutive Rebelle Rally competition and our first time partnering with ArtCenter College of Design to create a unique livery for our modified Telluride X-Pro. Inspired by the navigational skills used in the Rebelle Rally, the winning student based their design on a topographic map of the Las Vegas Valley. As beautiful as it looks here, we can't wait to see it under the blazing sun of the desert. 🚙⛰ https://bit.ly/3AlIIs1 – Modified MY24 Telluride X-Pro shown not for sale. Optional features shown.
