From the manufacturing of its first three wheeler K-360 truck in 1962 to the announcement of a 2020 vision to introduce autonomous driving technology, Kia as we know it has come a long way.

Today, Kia is on a dramatic upswing in the Trinidad and Tobago motor vehicle market. Known once upon a time for substandard workmanship and materials, Kia was one of those cars you bought just to say you bought a new car. Today their lineup includes coupes, sedans, SUV’s and crossovers that stand out for their value, performance and sporty styling.

#1 Midsized Luxury Sedan.
#1 Selling SUV for 2 consecutive years.
#1 Selling Midsized SUV for 3 consecutive years.
#1 Selling Crossover.
#1 Selling Small Car.
