New Delhi, May 2, 2024 – In a significant move to enhance driving experiences across India, Kia has teamed up with Map My India to integrate advanced navigation capabilities into its vehicles. This collaboration introduces a suite of high-tech features on the My Kia and Kia Connect platforms, designed to ensure precise location tracking and an intuitive place search function, revolutionizing the way Kia customers drive.
With this partnership, Kia owners will gain access to real-time updates on maps, an easy-to-use interface, and a sophisticated category-based search function.
