Design Awards
Kia Motors received recognition by the International Design
Excellence Awards (IDEA) in the Transportation category for
the GT4 Stinger concept car and the Soul, earning Silver and
Bronze honors, respectively. In addition, the Soul won the
2014 iF Product Design Award and the 2014 Red Dot Design
Award, thereby achieving a grand slam of the top 3 global
design awards. The Soul was also recognized for its excellent
interior design, ranking among the Best Interiors of 2014 at the
WardsAuto Interiors Conference, North America’s only event
focused on the automotive interior.
The K9 (K900/Quoris), Soul EV, and GT4 Stinger concept models
won awards in the Automobile category at the 2014 Good
Design Awards, jointly organized by The Chicago Athenaeum
Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre
for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies. The K9 was
acclaimed for its sophisticated design and rened beauty as
the best-in-class sedan, while the Soul EV recorded high scores
for the uniqueness and innovativeness of its design. The GT4
Stinger, a two-door sports coupe concept model, was praised
for its young and vibrant image achieved through a dynamic
and bold design.
On the domestic front, the all-new Carnival (Power Blue) and
all-new Sorento (Imperial Bronze) were given the Minister of
Trade, Industry and Energy Award as well as the highest honor
at the 2014 Korea Color Awards by the Korea Society of Color
Studies. These colors were chosen because the Power Blue of
the Carnival reminds us of the color of clean and clear water in
nature which is in line with the vehicle’s features that are ideal
for family camping trips, while the Imperial Bronze of Sorento
expresses the strong and dynamic feel of SUVs which appeals
to the sensibilities of urban males. These popular colors are a
result of our increased efforts to develop sensual colors with
unique characteristics that match the needs and sensibilities of
customers.
