The Hyundai Kia Automotive Group (Korean: 현대-기아 자동차 그룹, Hyeondae-Ghia Jadoncha Geurup; Hanja: 現代-起亞 自動車, Hyŏndae-Kia Chadongch'a Kŭrup) was formed through the purchase of 51% of South Korea's second-largest car company, Kia Motors, by the largest, Hyundai Motor Company, in 1998. Subsequently the company divested itself of a part of its ownership in Kia Motors[1] , and currently owns only 38.67% of that company[2]. If the two were to be considered as a single company, in spite of the minority ownership, it would be the second largest automaker in Asia and one of the top five automakers in the world as of 2008.[3]

The Hyundai Kia Automotive Group also refers to the group of affiliated companies interconnected by complex shareholding arrangements, with Hyundai Motor Company regarded as the de facto representative of the Group. It is the second largest South Korean Jaebeol or conglomerate after Samsung Group and was previously known as the Hyundai Motor Group.
