After its debut in Korea, an innovative new Kia app arrives in Europe, making interaction with the brand's digital services easy and even closer
Kia, five apps in one
.The new app complements the existing Kia Connect, Kia Charge, MyKia, Kia Warranty Book and Kia Owner's Manual, which will be phased out over the coming months, so those who are using them should download the new app from the App Store or Google Play. Then, with a single sign-on they will have a full suite of features designed to improve connectivity, charging and car maintenance. The interface has a renewed and intuitive design, while the back-end infrastructure is stable and secure enough to guarantee maximum protection of all users' data. Designed with a focus on user-friendliness, the Kia app also simplifies the transition for existing users. By logging into the new app with their credentials, all data, personal information and settings are automatically transferred from the old app to the new one. The platform also enables shared access, allowing even multiple users of the same car to use the app's features with the same account.
Kia, with one login you manage many functions
.The new application gives access to remote control of the car by allowing the engine to be switched on, the air conditioning to be adjusted, the doors to be locked and unlocked and the windows, lights and horn to be operated, as well as checking the charge status of plug-in hybrid and electric cars. In addition, it allows route planning to be sent to the car's navigator, car data to be used to assess whether the driving style is in line with safety parameters, optimisation of the search for and use of the 900,000 charging points in the Kia network, and management of the Kia Charge contract and tariffs, as well as viewing the history of personal recharges. Finally, with the new app it will be possible to directly book maintenance appointments at a Kia dealer or workshop, access the digital history of interventions carried out, the warranty booklet and the user and maintenance manual. But that's not all, because Kia plans to expand the app's functionalities to include those for business customers and fleet managers with specific tools for the future Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) PV5, as well as flexible mobility solutions.
