The Kia Elan is a convertible automobile produced by Kia from 1996 to 1997. It was a licensed copy of Lotus's "Type M100" Elan, which was built from 1989 to 1995.

After the final production run of the Lotus Elan in 1995, Kia began manufacturing their own version under license. Outwardly the Kia version looks almost identical to the original. The biggest difference is the 1.8 litre, Convert|151|hp|kW|0|abbr=on engine Kia used in place of Isuzu's 1.6 litre, Convert|162|hp|kW|0|abbr=on Lotus engine.
