Of course, but it would likely involve replacing all or most of liftgate. Which would be way more of a pain and expense than it’s probably worth.

Kia may offer an updated badge eventually. One question I was asked in a survey was if I would be interested in rebadging to the updated logo.

Couldn't just the 1 panel that holds the emblem be replaced?

Perhaps! If you can find any place that sells parts for the 2022s, give it a shot.

I definitely got this question as well. I humored them by answering yes that I would be interested if it was offered. But I’m intrigued what they would actually do, especially for just $100 (which is what I remember as the projected cost of upgrading the badges).

Did you ever find out if the rear panel is 2 pieces or 1 under the windshield?
