Kia Unveils Disney-Themed Dashboard Displays
Kia is about to make your daily drive a whole lot more cinematic.
In a bold new collaboration announced on November 10, 2025, Kia revealed a series of immersive display themes inspired by some of the most iconic worlds in entertainment—Disney, Pixar, Marvel, National Geographic, and Star Wars™. These themes are designed to transform Kia vehicles equipped with the Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) into vibrant, character-filled environments that delight drivers and passengers of all ages.
And yes—this is more than a simple wallpaper swap. It’s a full-on digital makeover.
Fandom Meets the Dashboard
Kia’s newest display themes pull from beloved franchises like The Lion King, Toy Story, The Avengers, and The Mandalorian. Whether you’re a lifelong Marvel superfan or want to share your childhood Disney favorites with your kids, these themes weave familiar characters and visual elements throughout the infotainment experience—from start-up animations to in-drive visuals and arrival screens.
The result? A personalized in-car environment that feels joyful, nostalgic, and unmistakably you.
A New Frontier for Customization
Kia has been steadily expanding its personalization features, but this collaboration represents its most ambitious leap yet.
“This collaboration with Disney represents a ground-breaking use of our digital and over-the-air systems to allow owners to customize not just the appearance, but the personality of their vehicles,” said Charles Ryu, Senior Vice President and Head of Kia’s Global Brand & CX Division.
These aren’t static decorations—they’re integrated, dynamic experiences that leverage Kia’s connected tech platform. Themes include distinctive artwork, curated color palettes, and unique display transitions designed to evoke the tone of each franchise.
Imagine opening your car to a sunrise over Pride Rock or navigating your journey alongside the cast of Toy Story—that’s the level of immersion Kia is aiming for.
Five Franchises, Dozens of Themes, Endless Possibilities
Here’s what Kia drivers can look forward to:
- Disney classics like Mickey & Friends
- Pixar favorites, including Toy Story
- Marvel superheroes, featuring The Avengers
- National Geographic explorations and scenery
- Star Wars™ themes, rolling out by 2025
By the end of 2026, Kia expects to offer around 30 individual themes. The Star Wars™ collection will serve as the grand finale in the rollout sequence—so get ready for hyperspace-level flair in your ccNC display.
Where to Find the New Themes
All themes will be available through the Kia Connect Store, which is getting its own dedicated Disney section. This makes browsing, previewing, and downloading new themes simple and seamless.
Kia originally dipped into themed displays back in 2024 with its NBA-inspired EV9 options—but this Disney partnership marks a significant expansion, opening the door to an even broader audience of fans and families.
Driving Into an Imaginative Future
It’s clear that Kia sees personalization as a core part of its future. By blending cutting-edge software, connected services, and world-famous characters, Kia is reshaping what the in-car experience can be.
Whether you’re seeking nostalgia, adventure, or a touch of everyday magic, Kia’s new Disney-infused themes promise to make every drive feel like part of a story worth remembering.
