LONDON, June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LexisNexis® Risk Solutions and Kia Connect have announced a strategic collaboration to enhance Kia's connected vehicle ecosystem. Kia Connect will utilise the leading information provider's scoring service, which provides driving risk insights for Kia's connected vehicle ecosystem leveraging the LexisNexis® Drive Metrics model. This initiative, spanning 27 countries in the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (U.K.), will introduce a consumer-friendly, risk-based driving score into Kia Europe's newly updated app, the Kia App, empowering Kia owners that select the service with deeper insights into their driving behaviour. A Drive Metrics score, including additional driving-related insights, will also be made available at the owners' request to Kia's participating insurers, helping to enhance their risk assessment and deliver personalised insurance offerings.  Empowering Drivers Through Risk Monitoring and Personalised Insights By utilising analysed driving patterns, the Kia App, will offer tailored driving coaching tips, giving consumers the ability to change their driving behaviour and to potentially lower their insurance costs and improve vehicle efficiency. Through their relationships with Kia Connect, participating insurers will also be able to incorporate the driving scores into pricing models, offering consumers more personalised insurance rates based on actual driving behaviour. "We are pleased to collaborate with Kia Connect on this important endeavour to help Kia owners proactively lower their cost of vehicle ownership. By embracing the use of their driving behaviour data, Kia owners can improve their driving behaviour. Additionally, Kia owners will have the option to share the scores with their insurer to personalise their insurance premium," said James Burton, managing director, Europe and U.K. insurance, LexisNexis Risk Solutions. "Leveraging a scoring service that utilises our Drive Metrics model, automakers are better positioned to support their owners and insurers with more accurate segmentation based on actual driving risks and enable more personalised pricing of policy premiums."
