What cars are better, Kia or Hyundai?

Best Answers

Hyundai and Kia are both reliable, economical automakers. They are both based in South Korea and offer very similar product lineups. It may come as a surprise that Hyundai owns 33.88 percent of Kia Motors. read more

Kia is owned by Hyundai. Hyundai sells more vehicles compared to Kia. The broader and more important brand is obviously Hyundai. However, that does not mean that Hyundai quality is better because the underpinnings are the same. Engines, transmissions, electroincs, platforms, technology, etc. are identical. read more

Today, Hyundai and Kia models rank highly in some U.S. News & World Report rankings. The Kia Soul is one of the best compact cars, and the Hyundai Sonata is one of the best midsize sedans. Both brands have been moving upmarket too. So much so that Hyundai even split off its Genesis cars into their own division. read more
