Kia UVO renamed Kia Connect
Has the Kia UVO been renamed the Kia Connect? “UVO,” Kia America’s in-car and app-based telematics system, was recently renamed “Kia Connect.” This makeover is in line with the automaker’s new future-oriented brand strategy, which emphasizes electrification. Because one or more variants of each Kia vehicle will have access to Kia Connect starting with the model year 2022, the name emphasizes the importance of connectivity. Kia UVO has been renamed Kia Connect, and you can read everything about it in this Royal Kia blog. Then come see our new Kia inventory in Tucson, AZ!
What’s new in the Kia Connect application?
Kia Connect extends the UVO feature set with new updates and refinements, including Map Over the Air (OTA) revisions, which will be available first on the all-new 2022 EV6. The “Stolen Vehicle Recovery” option, which was recently made available, adds to the sophisticated technology suite’s peace of mind for Kia customers. With location sharing and immobilization features, this tool aids law enforcement in the recovery process.
