Who is the blonde girl in the Kia commercials?
_Uncovering the faces, the campaigns, and the hidden details behind Kia’s viral ad stars_
(By Carmichael Phillip)
Why the question comes up so often
Commercials for Kia often feature a memorable female actor or model who appears for several campaigns, especially when filming vehicle spots aimed at lifestyle, technology, or design‑minded audiences. Viewers see the same “blonde girl” in multiple ads and wonder: who is she? Because Kia has used different talent over time, the identity isn’t always consistent.
Some of the reasons the question surfaces:
The brand often films a series of similar ads with recurring faces, making the viewer believe one single person is “the Kia blonde girl.”
Talent credits in commercial databases are sometimes missing or etched out, meaning the name isn’t visibly credited, and viewers have to dig.
With campaigns across different years and models, the “blonde girl” role may shift from one actress/model to another—adding to confusion.
Some confirmed names in Kia commercials
Here are some actresses/models who have appeared in Kia campaigns, though not necessarily the exact “blonde girl” you are thinking of:
Christina Hendricks appears in the 2017 Kia Cadenza ad “Impossible to Ignore”.
While she is not blonde in that role (she’s red‑haired), some sources still list her in the “girl in the Kia commercials” category.
McKinzie Roth is listed as the spokes‑model for a Cape Coral, Florida Kia dealership.
She may not be the national commercial “blonde girl” you refer to, but she shows how many local dealer ads also feature “blonde girls”.
Nicole Pringle is an actress who on her Instagram posted “‼️NEW‼️KIA SPEC COMMERCIAL‼️” and tagged @nkpringle as the actress.
Eva Padberg, a German model, became the face of Kia Motors’ German campaign in 2005. She is blonde and that may explain some “blonde girl in Kia commercials” references in Europe.
Why it’s difficult to pin the blonde girl
While some names are confirmed, the exact person you are referring to might not be confirmed due to these reasons:
Kia has used multiple campaigns across different years and markets. The “blonde girl” in one spot (say U.S. 2024) may be different from one in 2019 or in Europe.
Many databases (like iSpot) list the spot but not the actor names. For example, a recent Kia “Elevated by the Dark” commercial lists no actors identified.
Some local dealer commercials (rather than national) feature lesser‑known models or local spokespeople, making national recognition harder.
Promotional credits (voice‑over, stunt double, digital editing) blur the identity further.
What to do to identify the specific ad you saw
If you want to pinpoint which blonde girl you saw and which Kia commercial she was in, here’s a step‑by‑step:
Remember details of the ad: Which model of Kia (Telluride, Sportage, Optima, etc.), what the scene looked like (e.g., beach, city, driving off‑road), and whether there was a notable tagline.
Check ad database sites: Use sites like iSpot.tv – search for “Kia [model] TV Spot” and see if actor names are identified. Sometimes credits are missing.
Search actor/model social media: If you saw her in the ad, she may have posted it on Instagram/LinkedIn with tags like “Kia commercial”. As with Nicole Pringle’s post.
Contact Kia’s advertising agency or casting credit list: Some campaigns publish or list cast credits officially.
Check YouTube descriptions/credits: Some uploaders of the ad include talent credits in the description comments.
Possible answer for many viewers: Nicole Pringle
Given recent social posts and credits, if the ad you saw is a newer Kia spec commercial featuring a blonde woman (and not a major celebrity), the actress may be Nicole Pringle. She posted explicitly about a “Kia spec commercial” on her Instagram.

While this doesn’t guarantee she is the one you saw, it aligns with your recall of a blonde girl in a Kia commercial and provides a concrete lead.
Conclusion: So who is the blonde girl?
The short answer: There isn’t a single definitive “blonde girl in all Kia commercials”. Kia uses multiple actresses and models across campaigns and years. If you’re referring to a recent commercial (2024‑2025 U.S.), the best candidate is Nicole Pringle, based on her social tag of a Kia commercial. If you were thinking of an older or European ad, Eva Padberg or another model might be relevant.
