What is Kia UVO?

2021 Kia Seltos SX Turbo


You might be wondering, “What is the Kia UVO,” and, “What does the Kia UVO do for Springfield drivers?” The answer to that is simple. The Kia UVO system powers your infotainment features, making it easier for you to enjoy on-the-go convenience with your smartphone. With your 7- or 8-inch touch screen, and the use of pre-programmed voice commands, Kia UVO allows you to access and control all of your favorite amenities and technologies. THis includes Apple CarPlay™, Android Auto™, and depending on your model, integrated Navigation as well. 

Advantages of the Kia UVO App

What does Kia UVO do, you might be wondering? Well, it can do a number of things, based on the subscription package you go with. While some models of Kia still offer Kia UVO eServices, a limited suite of features that you’ll control using the Kia UVO app, most current models offer the Kia UVO Link. With the Kia UVO link, you’ll enjoy subscription-based access to a wide range of impressive conveniences, fully-integrated with your vehicle and your smartphone. When you’re preparing your monthly budget, keep in mind is the difference between the available UVO link packages: 

  • Kia UVO link Lite includes MyTrips, 911 Connect, Maintenance Alert, and more. In the Kia Telluride and other select models, Kia UVO link Lite even includes Kia UVO remote start.
  • Kia UVO link Care includes all the features of the Lite package, plus Roadside Assistance, a Vehicle Alarm Alert, and a Curfew Alert.
  • Kia UVO link Plus includes the features of the Lite and Care packages, plus Remote Climate Control, Remote Lock/Unlock, Find My Car, and much more.
  • Kia UVO link Ultimate provides each of the features identified above, plus next-generation conveniences like My POIs, Home-to-car for Alexa and Google, and even more!

In UVO link-enabled vehicles, you’ll receive a complimentary UVO link Lite subscription for a full five years! If your vehicle includes Kia UVO eServices, you’ll receive My Points of Interest, My Car Zone, Parking Minder, and 911 Connect–all accessible through your compatible smartphone, no matter where in Corvallis you are.
