Check what USB adapter-style receptacle you have in your 2023 Kia from this image:
The cable that Apple provided with the iPhone 16 is a USB-C to USB-C cable. You will need a USB-C to USB-A adapter to connect it to the Kia if the USB receptacle is USB Type A.
I use XAOSUN adapters for USB-type cable transition. This is what you would use to adapt your USB-C cable to plug into a USB-A type receptacle if this is what Kia expects for cabled CarPlay.
