Main brand
Kia launched the environment-friendly brand ECO dynamics in 2009 as part of the firm commitment made to the pursuit of zero emissions. In 2012, we developed a new eco brand system and designed a new emblem with a streamlined shape to convey the new futuristic and eco-friendly image. ECO Green, the unique color for the new emblem, was selected to complete the premium design and improve visibility.
Coupled with "Dynamics" (Kia’s brand equity), "Eco", signifying "Ecology" & "Economy", makes up the term "ECO dynamics" ("Automobile of Sustainable Mobility"), which symbolizes the Company’s commitment to making sizeable contribution to the mankind and global environment.

Starting with the Forte Hybrid introduced in 2009, we launched the Optima Hybrid & Ray (Electric cars) in 2011 and the Cadenza Hybrid in 2013. In addition, Kia has launched in 2016 the new crossover hybrid Kia Niro and the Optima Plug-in Hybrid.
