Kia ProCeed
Kia threw a curveball when it launched the Proceed in 2019. Arriving as a stylish Shooting Brake-style estate car, it stood out from the brand’s range of practical and straightforward models as something a little different. However, with a well-sized boot and a well-made cabin, this handsome-looking car has far more going for it than just looks alone.

Kia EV6
The Kia EV6 arrived in 2021 as a pioneering all-electric crossover, immediately attracting attention with its bold (sometimes polarising) styling, advanced technology, and impressive range. Positioned as a flagship, the EV6 not only highlights the brand’s technological progress, but also offers a compelling alternative to established premium EVs. With its distinctive lines and cutting-edge features, the EV6 competes directly with the likes of the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai IONIQ 5, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and Volkswagen ID.4. Its combination of practicality, performance, and value – not to mention Kia’s celebrated aftersales support – has made it a favourite among British buyers.

Kia EV3
Kia has quickly risen to become one of the most trusted brands in the world of electric vehicles and the EV3 is an example of why that is. With a decent amount of range, a speedy charge time and good levels of standard equipment, the EV3 is the kind of car that could quite easily take up where a traditional family petrol or diesel car left off. Add in Kia’s excellent reliability reputation and you have a very appealing package.
-
Kia Ceed
It’s a challenge to enter a segment populated by the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus, but that’s what Kia did with the Ceed. The third-generation car, introduced in 2018, showcased a bold new side to the Kia and a much simpler moniker. While its discontinuation was announced in 2025, the Ceed remains a great option for buyers looking for a value-focused all-rounder, while the more adventure-inspired XCeed continues to be available new.

Jaecoo 7
There are few cars which have experienced such a meteoric rise in popularity quite like the Jaecoo 7. Offering the chunky looks of an off-roader but with an on-road focus, the 7’s practical size is backed by loads of technology and, most importantly, a price tag which undercuts nearly everything else in its segment.

Hyundai KONA
The second generation Kona built on the work of Hyundai’s original, increasing the size of its popular compact SUV to ensure it is safer, more practical and more comfortable to use as an everyday family car. In fact, the Kona was originally conceived as an electric-first model, but the South Korean marque developed petrol and hybrid options alongside it in order to broaden its appeal. The sharp, futuristic exterior styling will divide opinion and the lower-powered petrol options require a fair degree of patience, but the Kona is otherwise an affordable and practical small family car that’s built tough and features Hyundai’s latest infotainment technology.
