Any clues as to what normally included features Kia will leave out to soak the customers OTA? Heated seats? Radio? Power steering? I'm not clear what "digital features" are.

I would expect an autonomous upgrade (similar to Tesla enhanced autopilot FSD) would be one as indicated here called HDP (Highway Driving Pilot) as the vehicle is sensor equipped for this future capability. One is not obligated to purchase up front saving initial cost. Others may be "digital pattern lighting grille" and RSPA-2 (Remote smart parking assist 2) as well as content streaming (again similar to Tesla).
