At least Volkswagon did some exterior updates for their "special editions".
Kia is one step ahead, just relaunching the anniversary edition with a different name

The Aurochs is the predecessor of the European Bison and the ancestor of modern cattle. Hunted to extinction, as usual at the hands of humans.
There are cave paintings of the Aurochs in Lascaux, near Bergerac in France.
So I guess by this Kia is trying hard to further cement its identity as a truly global brand.
