Kia Corporation President and CEO, Mr Song Ho-Sung, made the trip to New Zealand recently and took time to visit the marque’s Auckland Head Office as well as travel across the Harbour Bridge to the country’s number one selling Kia dealership*.

Mr Song’s journey Down Under was an opportunity for a business update from the Kiwi team, as well as a chance to see the first dealership in the country sporting the new Kia Corporate Identity.

“Mr Song’s visit provided a forum to discuss strategic alignment and highlight our shared vision of business orientated goals,” said Managing Director of Kia New Zealand, Todd McDonald.

“Global support of our local direction – especially with Tasman Ute and new EV models waiting in the wings – is critical to our ongoing success and his visit reinforced to our staff, dealer network as well as customers that the Kia Corporation values and appreciates New Zealand. It is an illustration of their commitment to our market.

Mr Song’s visit followed Kia New Zealand’s inaugural EV Day and is a precursor to the impending launch of the Tasman Ute and upcoming release of the EV4. Both new models are earmarked for a Q3 debut.
