eureka

Welcome to our customer magazine, "Eureka", sent three times a year to all Kia customers. Encapsulating Kia's power to surprise, the magazine takes its name from the Greek scholar Archimedes, who reportedly said "eureka" in excitement when he got in the bath and realised the water level rose in proportion to the amount of his body that was submerged.
