Kia wins four Good Design Awards

Kia Corporation has received four accolades in the 2022 Good Design Awards transportation category for its 2023 Niro, Concept EV9, EV Infotainment System, and Magenta Design Infotainment System.

The new Kia Niro features a bold and dynamic design inspired by the brand’s ‘Opposites United’ design philosophy – specifically its design pillar ‘Joy for Reason’. The perspective takes inspiration from nature, while the choice of colours, materials, and finishes strike a balance between Kia’s environmentally responsible approach to mobility and a future-oriented passenger car vision.

The Kia Concept EV9 embodies Kia’s commitment to sustainable mobility solutions, which the company recently showcased through its future vision at the ‘Kia Sustainability Movement’ digital presentation. It incorporates upcycled materials developed from deposited waste removed from the marine ecosystem.

Kia’s EV Infotainment System and Magenta Design Infotainment System are specifically optimised for EVs and based on a paper-themed graphical user interface (GUI).

“All of our global studios continuously try to create new meaningful design that improves the lives of our users, and for an organisation with such history, experience and heritage as the Chicago Athenaeum to recognise these efforts is a true award itself,” says Kia Global Design Centre head and executive vice president Karim Habib.
