The result is less distraction, more clarity, and a driving experience that feels calm and centered even when your schedule is anything but.
Start with the available Dual Panoramic Display that stretches across the dash.

The available Harman Kardon® Premium Audio system adds immersive sound, while available Voice Assistant support and the Kia Access app make remote features intuitive—so you spend less time fiddling and more time enjoying the journey.
