Kia is one of the most recognizable nameplates on U.S. roads. Founded in 1944 and headquartered in South Korea, today Kia is part of Hyundai Motor Group. Every modern Kia carries a unique 17-character Vehicle Identification Number that encodes the model year, engine, body style, and country of assembly — and try.vin uses that VIN to assemble a complete vehicle history report covering title brands, accidents, odometer readings, open safety recalls, and theft flags. Popular used Kia models on the market today include Forte, K5, Sportage, Sorento, Telluride, and Soul.
