HATTRICK OF WINS FOR KIA AT

FLEET WORLD AWARDS 2023

NK Motors is delighted to announce that three Kia cars – the Sportage, Niro and Niro EV – have each won at the business focused Fleet World Great British Fleet Awards 2023.

Retaining its win from last year, the Sportage was once again named the ‘Best Fleet Medium SUV’, beating the competition in this highly fought segment. The latest Sportage is available with efficient hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, as well as a host of generously equipped trim grades.

John Challen, Editor of Fleet World, commented: “In a congested and competitive segment, the Sportage stands out as a fantastic all-rounder. The upgraded interior makes the cabin even more user-friendly, while the addition of hybrid technology puts it firmly on the list of cars that fleets will be considering now and in the future.”

Electrified as standard, the all-new Niro won ‘Best Fleet Small SUV’. The Niro is available as both hybrid, plug-in hybrid or fully electric, benefiting fleets with a compelling blend of efficient powertrains, practicality and generous equipment levels across three grades.

Challen added: “The revised version of the popular SUV that was introduced last year has been praised far and wide for its breadth of powertrain options. Whether it’s hybrid, plug-in hybrid or full EV, Kia really does have something for everyone.”

Further to the Niro win and taking over the mantle from the e-Niro that won in the 2022 awards, the all-new Niro EV won ‘Best EV Small SUV’ category. The all-new model features a striking new look over its predecessor, while delivering up to 285-miles of range from a single charge of its 64.8kWh battery.

Challen said: “The e-Niro was an impressive product in a relatively small sector, but its replacement raises the bar in terms of driving range, interior comfort and onboard technologies and safety systems. A fantastic addition to Kia’s evolving – and improving – product line-up.”

In addition to its award-winning model line-up, Kia delivers fleet and business customers with total peace of mind thank to its Business Service Promise.
