Kia shares platforms and engines with Hyundai and Genesis. Kia is a Korean carmaker, part of the Hyundai Motor Group. Kia is positioned alongside Hyundai, with an emphasis on styling and a sporty character. Full-EV Hyundais keep the inverter and BMS locked. Hyundai HEV/PHEV are the hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of the mainstream models. The NEXO is Hyundai's hydrogen fuel-cell crossover.
Within Hyundai Motor Group, ECUs are partly shared, so Hyundai files often work on Kia. On older-generation Hyundais, Stage 1 goes in over OBD without Bench. The Hyundai community in Eastern Europe has a large pool of ready-made Stage files. High-output Hyundais are the N-series and Santa Fe, with solid headroom for Stage 1.
