Originally founded over 70 years ago, Kia has grown from manufacturing bicycles, motorcycles and then finally cars to become a well-known brand providing a wide range of great value cars.

This South Korean brand has progressed rapidly in the last few years, becoming a popular option with drivers around the world, as well as in the UK.

Their range includes compact cars like the Rio and Picanto, saloons like the Stinger and SUVs like the Sportage and Sorento.

Ever since its launch in 1993 the Sportage has been one of Kia’s most recognisable cars. Over the years it has gone through several design and tech updates to ensure it remains one of the best SUVs on the market. Models now include options like wireless phone charging, mild-hybrid technology across the diesel range, and a reversing camera and 360° monitoring system.
