Isn't the staying power of Toyota vehicles their build quality and longevity, not their cheapness? Wouldn't this be a Kia killer?

Definitely. I would be surprised if this car maker can compete toe to toe with Toyota on quality but they can slay when it comes to price.

They took off because they were maintainable, reliable, and cheap. All three attributes were important for them to disrupt the space.
