2 Answers
Dongfeng Yueda Kia is a Chinese automotive brand. Dongfeng Yueda Kia (i.e., Dongfeng Yueda Kia Automobile Co., Ltd.) is a Sino-foreign joint venture passenger car manufacturing enterprise, established in 2002, with its headquarters located in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. The following is an introduction to Dongfeng Yueda Kia: 1. Dongfeng Yueda Kia Automobile Co., Ltd. is a Sino-foreign joint venture passenger car manufacturing enterprise jointly established by Dongfeng Motor Corporation, Jiangsu Yueda Investment Co., Ltd., and Kia Motors Corporation of South Korea. 2. As an enterprise that advocates environmental protection, Dongfeng Yueda Kia Automobile Co., Ltd. places high importance on environmental issues while continuously pursuing high-quality services.
I know quite a bit about Dongfeng Kia. As an experienced driver who has owned several Kia cars, I can give a brief overview. Dongfeng Kia is actually a joint venture between China and South Korea, specifically a collaboration between Dongfeng Motor Corporation and Kia Motors. Kia is originally a South Korean brand, but Dongfeng Kia manufactures cars in China, so the vehicles are made locally. However, the technology and design come from the South Korean side. When I visited an auto show last time, the salesperson also mentioned that these joint venture cars have good quality and reasonable prices, making them suitable for average Chinese families, but the brand's roots remain in South Korea. Additionally, this kind of Sino-foreign cooperation model is quite common—it’s like bringing advanced foreign technology to local production, which boosts employment and makes car purchases more convenient for us. So, in summary, Dongfeng Kia cars are made in China, but the brand ownership and core technology belong to South Korea.
