A Kia window sticker (Monroney label) is the factory-required label listing that car's MSRP, standard and optional equipment, EPA fuel economy and NHTSA safety ratings — ForCar has it rebuilt for 25 Kia models, averaging 33 mpg on the label. Enter any Kia VIN and it comes back with that exact build — free. Kia is a Hyundai Motor Group marque.
What's on a Kia window sticker
Every Monroney label carries the same required blocks — MSRP with itemised options, EPA fuel economy, which across the Kia range averages 33 mpg, NHTSA safety ratings, where 94% of rated Kia models hold five stars overall, standard and optional equipment, and parts-content origin. Enter a Kia VIN and the label comes back with that car's own build, not a range average.
Across the 17 Kia models with EPA data on file the label figure spreads from the Niro at 53 mpg down to the Sedona at 21 — which is why the sticker for one car says more than any brand average. What those stickers are worth today: a median $12,256 across 16 models and 4,145 live listings, topped by the Carnival at $39,925. From EPA fuel-economy records, NHTSA ratings and ForCar market data.
For how to read each block, what to do if the sticker is lost and how it differs from a build sheet, see the window sticker guide.

EPA figures across the Kia range
Combined MPG as printed on each model's window sticker, most efficient first. The Kia range spans 32 mpg between the Niro and the Sedona, so a brand average tells you little — the label for one VIN tells you everything:
Figures are the best recent EPA rating for each model; electric models are rated in MPGe and left out so the comparison stays like-for-like.
What Kia stickers are worth now
The label freezes the factory price; this is the median asking price of each Kia model on the used market today, across 4,145 live listings:
Medians across all model years we hold prices for, so a long-running nameplate sits lower than a recent one. Full year-by-year breakdown on each model's Kia value pages.
Safety ratings across Kia stickers
The NHTSA block on each label, model by model. Overall stars out of five, best first — a quick way to see how consistently Kia builds to the crash test:
NHTSA has crash-tested 16 of the Kia models on file, which is why this list is shorter than the full range — 15 of them hold five stars overall. Stars shown are the overall rating; each model's page breaks out frontal, side and rollover.

Where to find the VIN on a Kia
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Kia all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Kia whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
Window sticker — frequently asked
What MPG do Kia window stickers show?
Across 17 Kia models with EPA data the combined figure averages 33 mpg, ranging from the Niro at 53 mpg down to the Sedona at 21. The label prints the figure for that exact build, which is why two Kia cars of the same year can show different numbers.
How safe are Kia models on the sticker?
15 of 16 rated Kia models (94%) hold five stars overall from NHTSA — that block is printed on every Monroney label. Where Kia sits against every other marque is in the safest cars data.
What are Kia models worth compared with their sticker price?
The label freezes the factory price. On today's market the median Kia asks $12,256 across 16 models and 4,145 live listings, from the Carnival at $39,925 down to the Spectra at $2,866.
Is the recreated Kia sticker the same as the original?
It rebuilds the factory equipment, EPA fuel economy and NHTSA safety from official records, so the core Monroney content matches. Dealer-added options and destination charges vary by sale, so the printed total on one Kia may differ from another.
Where do I find the VIN on a Kia?
Lower-left of the windshield, the driver's door-jamb sticker, or the registration and insurance documents — all three must agree. For what a window sticker is, how to read each block and what to do if yours is lost, see the window sticker guide.
