IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 17, 2024 -- Kia America announced the first-ever "Kia TikTok Creator Car Configurator" designed exclusively for TikTok.

The innovative "Kia TikTok Creator Car Configurator" seamlessly takes users from one trim level and color to the next – both interior and exterior – in engaging and entertaining ways.
