Kias made in the USA

Which Kias are made in the USA? Kia is known as a South Korean brand with headquarters based in Seoul. They make a few Kias in the USA, including the Sorento, at its West Point Georgia facility. This facility also manufactures the fifth-generation K5, fifth-generation Sportage, and first-generation Telluride. The Savannah, GA plant makes the new electric vehicle, and you can see all of them at Glassman Kia Southfield.

In some cases, Kias are assembled in the U.S. from parts shipped from around the globe. Those that are assembled in the U.S. include the Sorento, Sportage, and Telluride in both the HEV and PHEV models. Nearly 700,000 Kias in the USA are sold every year. The Savannah plant produces about 340,00 Kias per year. This plant ships to markets around the world, including Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, the Pacific nations, and the Middle East.

Kia has 14 facilities in eight countries. The company has four manufacturing plants in South Korea. It also has plants based in India, China, Japan, Slovakia, the United States, Vietnam, and Mexico. Kia has a design center in Irvine, CA which is located on a corporate campus. Additional design centers are located in Germany and China.

Which Kias are made in the USA depends on the model

Which Kias are made in the USA depends on the model, but a single manufacturing plant might not make all of a certain vehicle. For instance, the Kia Sorento might be made in the USA, but it could also be made in Autoland Hwasung in South Korea. One of the best ways to find Kias in the USA made at the Georgia plant is to check the VIN located on the dashboard.

Some Kias are designed for a certain market. For instance, Kia manufacturers located in Europe make cars designed specifically for the European market. Glassman Kia Southfield offers a wide selection of Kias that are manufactured or assembled in the U.S. and abroad.
