  • Kia continues to offer new digital features that can elevate the vehicle’s capabilities and make driving more convenient
  • A POI can be any establishment with a name and location that is recognised by Google, marked on the map with up-to-date information
  • Further Kia models with connected car Navigation Cockpit will receive Google POIs as a free over-the-air software update

The Kia EV4 is the brand’s first electric hatchback, designed specifically for Europe to navigate cities, cross the continent, and make electrified mobility available to more customers. Versatile and practical, the model is also highly connected – the EV4 is Kia’s first model to include Google Points of Interest (POIs) as part of the navigation system.


Kia Google points of interest

For many, Google is the go-to method for looking up information about places, establishments, attractions, and sights. A POI can be any establishment with a name and location that is recognised by Google and is marked as a pin on the map, along with up-to-date information. The addition of Google POIs to the EV4 navigation system enables customers to access extensive POI details, including parking, opening hours, prices, busy periods, and much more, on top of getting an improved turn-by-turn route directly to the POI.

“Offering extensive details about places through Google POIs enables customers to make informed decisions ahead of each journey and to adjust once they are on the road,” said Pablo Martinez Masip, Vice President of Product & Marketing at Kia Europe. “Places close, opening hours change, more parking is made available, and giving our customers all of this information and more on the in-car screen adds an exciting new level to navigation and the driving experience.”

Google POIs will be available in the Kia EV4 from the start of vehicle production. All other Kia models with connected car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) will be able to receive Google POIs as a free update this summer and all upcoming Kia models with ccNC will come with Google POIs preinstalled.

An important benefit of Google POIs is that real-time updates are made directly by users within the Google ecosystem, to continuously improve and enhance the quality of location information. This extends to including recent photos, menus, ratings, reviews, accessibility and more.

Chippenham Motor Company Ltd is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd's permissions as a Principal Firm allows Chippenham Motor Company Ltd and MRG to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
