Who are Kia?
Starting out as a bicycle part manufacturer back in 1944, Kia moved on to motorbikes and trucks, then eventually car production in 1974.
Now part of the Hyundai Motor Group, Kia has taken the European market by storm and has grown to become Korea’s second largest car manufacturer after its parent company Hyundai.
Although still relatively new to the British market, Kia has become a genuine option for the informed car buyer, thanks to competitive pricing and their famous ‘seven year warranty’ that guarantees total peace of mind.
Models range from the stylish, well-equipped Rio supermini, to the rugged and spacious Kia Sorento 4x4. The Sportage SUV offers great value for money, with low CO2 emissions, a spacious interior and a comfortable drive.
Kia are also making a name in the EV market with the release of their Optima and Niro plug-in hybrids, and a zero emissions electric version of the Kia Soul.
