- Parts and service. A factory warranty runs for its stated term whether or not the model is still built, and safety recalls are fixed free (49 U.S.C. § 30120, with an exception for vehicles first sold more than 15 years before the recall notice). No federal rule sets how long parts must be made: model-specific body panels and trim usually get scarce first, while parts shared with models still in production stay available longer.

How we source this
- Status comes from Kia's own release or statement where one was published; otherwise from a reputable outlet quoting Kia directly. We don't report a discontinuation that the automaker hasn't confirmed, and we don't guess at reasons: if none was given, we say "Not stated."
- Checked against the linked sources on Nov 12, 2026. Plans change; we re-check quarterly and when an automaker announces a change.
- Used counts and medians are CarWhere's snapshot of active used and certified listings at US dealers (Nov 7, 2026), from licensed vehicle-data providers. They are asking prices, not transaction prices.
