Kia Corporation: what it holds, with stakes and dates

Facts checked Chinese holding 0%

Kia is South Korean, part of Hyundai Motor Group, with no Chinese shareholder. Some Kias sold abroad are built in China: the EV5 is made at Yancheng by Jiangsu Yueda Kia and was exported to Thailand from 26 March 2024, New Zealand from September 2024 and Australia from 14 October 2024. European and Korean EV5s come from Kia's Gwangju plant instead, so where your Kia was made depends on the market.
