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. The factory calibration on Hyundai diesels is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1.

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. On naturally aspirated Hyundai engines, the main effect is on throttle response. Low-output Hyundai engines are city units, and Stage 1 is safe.
