You can now use your smartphone or smartwatch as a digital key to quickly unlock and operate your Kia, making it easier to lend to friends and family.

Remote Lock and Unlock

Are you worried you might not have locked your car? No worries! With Kia Connect, you can lock or unlock your vehicle from just about anywhere using your phone. Plus, if your keys get locked inside by mistake, you can quickly get them out.

Find My Car

Use the ‘Find My Car’ feature to locate your parked vehicle quickly. This tool can pinpoint your car’s location and guide you directly to it.

Wi-Fi Hotspot

With in-car Wi-Fi powered by Verizon, you can have smooth internet access while traveling. This way, all passengers can surf and stream without using up their mobile data.

Driving Score and Usage-Based Insurance

Look at your score to discover your driving performance. This information can potentially help you reduce your insurance rates.

Rear Occupant Alert

Feel at ease with the Rear Occupant Alert system. It watches over your back seat so you remember a child or pet. If there’s any movement back there and your vehicle is locked, you’ll get a quick alert on your phone through the Kia Connect app.
