As Kia Motors is gearing up to start its innings in India, it is expanding its foot across the country to reach all the key markets. The Kia Seltos will launch in India on August 22 and ahead of it the South Korean carmaker has set up 192 dealerships across 160 cities in India and all its dealerships will also feature Kia's internet of things (IOT) theme or the Kia link App which in simple terms means digital purchase and after sales services will be available at all Kia dealerships. The Kia Link App will help scheduling a service appointment and the owners will be notified about an upcoming or service due reminder, to maintain the vehicle performance.

Other than the basic features, the link app will also allow the customers to make an appointment at their preferred dealer. This will enable dealers to keep a track of vehicles for better utilisation of resources and pre-planning the service procedure. The workshops are equipped with RFID scanners to identify the cars and this would be followed by allocation of a service advisor who will diagnose the car digitally at the e- Vehicle Health Check-up bay and share the report with the customer via their dedicated Kia Link Dealer App. They will also get real time updates and progress on the service and repair work.
