Kia's 80th Anniversary Event
Kia is known for affordability and quality, two things that have fueled the brand for 80 years now. To celebrate their 80th year of prosperity and giving, Kia decided on a celebration that honors everything good about the Kia automobile. And they invited along others who appreciate Kia's unique brand, such as the Hyundai Motor Group. It was a festive but professional night for the whole Kia family and all those who've admired them over the years.
Hyundai Motor Group and Kia executives were present at the big event. They took the time to comment on Kia's heritage and contributions. Ho Sung Song, the President and CEO of Kia, had this to say: "Drawing on the lessons learned from compiling Kia's 80-year history, we will reaffirm the spirit of determination that has driven us since our founding. At the same time, we are committed to preserving and sharing our heritage, including intangible assets, as a driving force for the future."
Other Kia employees and reps also took the time to stop by and share in the historic moment, together in a deeply personal setting that honored Kia's traditions. A film was shown that highlighted people who made significant contributions to Kia over the years, and there was even a musical performance by Clara-Jumi Kang, an award-winning violinist.
Hyundai Motor Group's Executive Chair, Euisun Chung, took the time to weigh in on Kia's achievements. "Kia's 80-year history has been a remarkable journey, an epic narrative. On behalf of Hyundai Motor Group, I extend my gratitude to everyone who has been a part of Kia's 80-year legacy."
After warm sentiments and entertainment, Kia took the time to introduce the world to the Vision Meta Turismo, a current Kia concept car. Kia explained that this concept vehicle is "a modern reinterpretation of three core experiences." These experiences include performance driving, spaciousness of the lounge space, and immersive driving experience through digital interaction.
After 80 years of amazing contributions to the automotive world, Kia now sets its sights on the future and what it can contribute next. The brand has always set standards in its industry, and it was a fulfilling 80th anniversary that left many inspired and looking toward the future.
