UVO Essentials

All UVO-equipped Kia vehicles are fitted with the following essential features, except for a few models that feature UVO Play, which may hold alternative options.

Roadside Assistance: Roadside assistance allows you to get help without having to figure out what number to call in your location. With just the push of a button, you can be connected to help!

911 Connect: In a truly urgent situation, UVO Essentials will act to ensure your safety. This system is found in all UVO suites, and it activates if an airbag deploys. It will automatically attempt to contact 911 and send your vehicle’s location to a local emergency response unit.

Infotainment and Entertainment

UVO also features many great infotainment, entertainment, and communication technologies for you to enjoy! This includes the ability to make hands-free calling and texting using UVO’s advanced voice recognition programs.

You’ll also be able to connect a compatible smartphone to your vehicle via the Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ available systems. This lets you access your favorite applications on your phone, right through your compatible Kia vehicle!

Convenience Features

Both the UVO Eco and UVO Luxe suites feature a variety of excellent convenience features, including the ability to find your vehicle using the “Find my Car” system! This feature locates your Kia remotely, giving you directions to it from your phone via an application you can find in your compatible smartphone store. The UVO Luxe suite takes this a step further by allowing you to start or stop your vehicle, even control its climate control system, right from your phone!
