#AutoCentral: How Kia grew from humble beginnings to one of South Africa’s most popular car brands

 

In this week’s #AutoCentral, SA’s number 1 motoring podcast, George Mienie and Wandile Sishi welcomes a special guest to the studio. Gary Scott, CEO of Kia South Africa, tells the team about Kia’s local growth over the past two decades, and elaborates on this manufacturer’s future plans for the local market.

Other talking points include the importance of the growing second-hand market, the advantages of buying a used car with Kia Konfidence, and how well the company’s local operations have recovered since lockdown. Kia’s international EV strategy also comes under the microscope, and we find out if we’ll see electrified Kias on local roads.
