Question 6

How popular is Kia in the United Kingdom?

Accepted Answer

From the mid-1990s, the amount of Kia cars on UK roads has seen a steady increase to the current number of around 800k today.Given their reliability, value for money and market-leading 7-year, 100k mile warranty, Kia is a marque that is heading for further popularity, greater sales and added respect.

With an extensive range of models to choose from, Kia cars offer excellent value. From their city car Picanto starting at under £10k, through to their luxury spec SUV Sorento at £30k, Kia cars compete with more established mainstream brands, offering not only strong price-points but with advanced levels of technology and the extended benefits you’d expect from a car of a higher price.

Kia Sportage: The 10th best selling car in the UK

Given the rise in growth of the Korean car brand, it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to see its best selling model sneak into the top 10 best selling cars of 2018.

Accepted Answer

Kia ranked joint 4th out of 30 car brands in the What Car? Reliability Survey in 2018.
