About Kia Car Key Systems — Smart Entry, Hyundai Motor Group & EV Models
Kia vehicles use Kia Smart Entry — push-button start and proximity keyless entry available across all Kia from mid-level trim upwards. Smart Entry fob programming requires advanced diagnostic equipment and, on post-2019 Kia models, manufacturer immobiliser access.
Kia and Hyundai are both Hyundai Motor Group brands sharing significant platform and Smart Entry key system architecture. Lee's Kia SERMI accreditation covers Hyundai under the same platform knowledge — one call covers both Korean brands across Greater Manchester.
Lee programmes all Kia key types — including Niro hybrid, EV6, and EV9 electric models — on-site across Trafford Park, Davyhulme, Flixton, and all of Greater Manchester. More information at kia.com/uk ↗.

Kia and Hyundai share platform and key architecture. Lee's SERMI covers both brands — one call for either.
