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.

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 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.

CO2 emissions: 37-174g/km It’s cars like the Sorento which show just how far Kia has come. Far from some kind of value-focused brand, Kia is now making cars which look and feel very upmarket, and this includes the Sorento. As a spacious seven-seater, the Sorento is ideal for families, yet with plenty of tech on board and a refined driving style, it’s also a great option for drivers, too.
Kia was one of the first manufacturers to bring an affordable EV to market with the first Soul back in 2016. With a competitive range, generous standard equipment, and a relaxing driving experience, the Soul EV is efficient but also a bit different. Among the Soul EV’s main rivals are other small electric SUVs and hatchbacks, such as the Peugeot e-2008, Vauxhall Mokka Electric, and Hyundai Kona Electric. While some rivals offer larger boots or slightly more up-to-date interiors, the Soul EV distinguishes itself with its quirky styling and strong equipment levels, making it a solid contender despite the growing competition.
Over recent years, the competition among high-riding compact SUVs has really heated up thanks to the success of the likes of the Ford Puma, Renault Captur and Nissan Juke. In such a crowded marketplace, it can be difficult for carmakers to muscle their way into people’s thinking. However, since launching the Stonic back in 2017, that is exactly what Kia has managed to do. The car is firmly aimed at the family market and spurns the sporty handling seen on many of its rivals in favour of a more sensible and stress-free approach to driving.
