According to sources, Kia has already taken the old 'Kia Motors' logo off its headquarters and recently filed for a new slogan with the South Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPRIS). This means the current slogan - 'The Power To Surprise' - is very likely to make way for 'Movement That Inspires'.

“These days, we are transitioning to a new industry paradigm," said Ho Sung Song, president of Kia Motors in an interview with Automotive News. “We need something to initiate or drive that business paradigm into the new world,” said Ho of the new logo.

The brand identity is part of Kia's 'Plan S', a five-year plan that sees the carmaker targetting a mass ramp-up of electric vehicles (EVs) through 2025. Under 'Plan S', Kia looks to build an EV lineup of 11 models by 2025 (with the first BEV model coming in 2021), and sell a total of 500,000 BEVs and 1 million eco-friendly vehicles by 2026.
