Kia Motors (UK) Limited has launched the MyKia app to give owners access to a range of new services and tools on their mobile phone. Kia owners will now have access to several one-click services on the go including booking a service, click and collect accessory ordering as well as information on current offers and the latest news from the brand. The current MyKia desktop platform currently has over 50,000 active Kia customers and with the introduction of the app, owners can access all the features from their mobile phone as well.

Sanka De Silva, General Manager, Programmes & Marketing Services commented; “We’ve launched the MyKia app with the intention of giving our customers access to key services and information at a time and place that suits them. With people using their mobile, more and more, the MyKia app allows us to keep up with our customers and what they want. We wanted to reward their loyalty by giving them exclusive access to win Kia hospitality tickets through our many sports sponsorships.”
