"Drive Niro and Soul EV for 870,000 KRW/month"…Kia Motors Launches Electric Vehicle Subscription Service

Using Niro and Soul Electric Cars... Monthly 1-Time Carnival Hi-Limousine 72-Hour Rental Available

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Kia Motors announced on the 26th that it will launch an electric vehicle subscription service called ‘KIAFLEX EV Line.’ For a monthly fee of 870,000 KRW, customers can freely use the Niro EV or Soul EV, and once a month, they can rent a Carnival Hi-Limousine for 72 hours.

Additionally, Kia has introduced an optional product offering unlimited electric vehicle charging service for the first time in the industry. This service is available for 69,000 KRW per month.

The KIAFLEX EV Line can be accessed by installing the mobile app. All processes including ‘contract-payment-reservation-delivery-return’ can be completed through the app, making it convenient. Since the vehicles are provided after thorough inspection and management, customers do not need to worry about maintenance or consumable management. Moreover, the subscription fee is reasonably priced, allowing customers who find the cost of purchasing a new car burdensome to conveniently use Kia’s electric vehicles.

Customers who choose a 3-month bundled plan can also receive a 30,000 KRW monthly subscription discount.

Customers wishing to use the service can select and reserve their desired vehicle through the app at least three days in advance. The vehicle will be delivered to the desired time and location.

A Kia Motors representative said, “KIAFLEX EV Line is a mobility service that embodies Kia’s future vision to transition to an electric vehicle business system by 2025 and lead the popularization of electric vehicles.”

Meanwhile, in addition to the KIAFLEX EV Line, Kia operates a subscription service called ‘KIAFLEX Premium,’ which consists of Kia’s premium lineup (The K9, Mohave, Stinger). Since the launch of the subscription service in June last year, the cumulative number of users has reached around 200.
