Kia Connect*—Kia AI Assistant*

Meet Kia AI Assistant^*! Available on certain trims of the All-New 2025 K4 with Kia Connect^*, the Kia AI Assistant^* uses generative artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver responses to users. The available Kia AI Assistant^* can interpret more complex voice commands than basic Voice Recognition (VR), allowing users to communicate with the assistant using natural, conversational language.

Using Kia AI Assistant^* (Requires Kia Connect^*)

If equipped, customers can press the VR button on their steering wheel or say ‘Hey Kia’ to wake up ‘Kia AI Assistant’. Then, state a command and wait for a response. A “Talking with Generative AI” bubble will appear onscreen to indicate that the results are being provided by Generative AI via SoundHound server.

Check out the table below for some examples of the questions and prompts Kia AI Assistant^* can help with!
