Car commercials are created to evoke some form of emotional response. Whether the company is going for funny, pulls at your heartstrings, or produces a sense of outrage, these commercials are made to have you think. Check out some of the best Kia commercials made to date.
Middle C
Voiced by Christopher Walken, the Kia commercial Middle C is impressive. It’s elegant in its simplicity, which is what the commercial is trying to bring out. The commercial opens with someone at a piano, playing the middle C key. Walken states that midsized sedans are the middle C of automotives. They’re basic and boring. The pianist then goes on to play a beautiful piece, while Walken introduces the 2016 Kia Optima, which he states is a masterpiece. You see a quick shot of the car driving down a dark road with the pianist playing in the background.
Epic Ride
This commercial takes you through a few different movie scenarios, starting with two people handcuffed to a police bike, while the officer is driving off with their Kia Optima. As the officer is driving, what looks to be a supervillain in a helicopter takes the car.
Next comes a man on a yacht surrounded by beautiful women. He spies the car being carried by the helicopter, but before he can do anything about it, Poseidon rises from the water and grabs the Optima. The car is then beamed up into a space ship and taken to another planet, where the aliens who have taken it drive the vehicle around for a few seconds. The car is sucked into a portal to an ancient culture, who celebrate it. The visuals and effects of the commercial are superb, and it’s a fun watch even without any dialogue.
Space Babies
Opening with a shot of a dad driving, you hear a little boy in the back ask his dad where babies come from. The dad stalls for a second, and then he says there is a planet called “Babylandia” that is full of babies. The commercials take you to this fictional land, which is green and beautiful and shows toddlers and baby animals walking around. He says that when the time is right, there is a space launch, and the visuals show a baby human and a number of baby animals in space suits getting ready for launch.
When they get to Earth, the babies are released all over the world with blue and pink parachutes. The commercial gets a little uncomfortable for the parents when the child says that his friend told him that “babies are made when mommies and daddies …” This hilarious and memorable commercial was made for the 2014 Kia Sorento and originally aired for the 2013 Superbowl.
Kia doesn’t pull punches with the visuals and styling in their cars or their commercials. From funny to impressive, the commercials for Kia vehicles leave an impression long after they have come and gone. Some of the best car commercials out there feature your favorite Kia vehicles.
