So this new 22 Stinger has the updated Kia badge and it looks sweet! No longer oval just letter cutouts. Would love this in black on my K5.

How would this work tho. The hood is indented

Perhaps not for North American market?
Or it will be their new logo moving forward. Current models cannot switch to this for obvious reasons.

It looks more like KN than KIA. I can see a lot of "what make is that?" in the future. I realize the N would be upside down, but KIA just doesn't jump out to me.

I'll be honest, the first thing I thought of when I saw that was...Nine Inch Nails. lol

Go look at my post on my 2022 K5, no more ovals. The new emblem is on the 2022 Stinger and Telurides as well from what I saw at the dealership, probably expect the oval to disappear entirely as KIA shifts to a different brand style.

In my opinion that looks terrible. People will be switching that out for alternates just as much as they do now with the current logo.

On the contrary, if you debadge it entirely, I'd reckon it would look pretty clean and sleek without any oval indents.

I think it’s ugly on the cars not so bad on trucks

I agree it’s ugly

I didn't like it at 1st either, but now that I see it on a car. I kind of like it. Definitely an improvement over the badge on my 2021.

I think it looks ok on the trucks but it is to big and flat on the cars plus that flat silver does nothing for it especially on the cars.

I'd say it was ugly too if I didn't have it... it's much better than the old oval bubble badges... plus it looks much better when blacked out or deleted... lol... no indentation or holes, just a nice clean look... 2021 can suck it

I have to agree, and I have a 2021. I'm not letting the badge bother me too much, but the new ones are definitely an improvement.

Brushed silver accents nicely on the Ebony Black K5

It looks nice on the blue too. I could see how it might not show up well on silver, white or wolf gray.
