Dongfeng Yueda Kia was founded in 2002. In August 2003, it was announced that Dongfeng Yueda Kia would invest around US$600 million in the construction of a new assembly plant in Jiangsu Province with a capacity to produce 400,000 vehicles per year.

In November 2011, Dongfeng Yueda Kia announced that it would construct its third automobile manufacturing plant in Yancheng. Construction of the plant took place between 2012 and 2014. The plant has an annual production capacity of 300,000 cars.

In December 2021, Dongfeng sold its 25% stake in the joint venture to Jiangsu Yueda for CN¥297 million.

Yueda Investment issued an announcement to give up increasing investment in Dongfeng Yueda Kia. Prior to this capital increase, the equity structure of Dongfeng Yueda Kia was Kia Corporation, Yueda Automobile Group, and Yueda Investment, each holding 50%, 25%, and 25%, After the capital increase, the shareholding ratio of the new company is 50% for Kia Motors, 45.8% for Yueda Automobile Group and 4.2% for Yueda Investment respectively. Yueda Automobile Group and Yueda Investment are persons acting in concert.

On 22 March 2022, Dongfeng Yueda Kia was renamed Kia Motors Co., Ltd. In May of the same year, it was renamed Jiangsu Yueda Kia Motors Co., Ltd.
