Kia review

Kia e-Niro

Award-winning, in-demand crossover marks Kia’s true arrival into the EV market

From £35,8459

Kia Soul EV

Third generation of Kia's boxy compact crossover goes electric-only in the UK, combining zero emissions with charm and character

8

Kia Proceed

After the acclaimed Stinger, Kia sneaks into ‘compact premium’ territory

7

Kia Ceed GT

With 'only' 201bhp, Kia's hottest hatch to date merely counts as warm, but could it hit a sweet spot of usability, driver reward and value?

8

Kia Optima Sportswagon

Kia has given the Optima a midlife revision, with a new diesel engine and a more comprehensive kit list. Is it still competitive?

7

Kia Ceed

Will it be third time lucky for Kia’s Europe-only hatchback - or are established rivals from Ford, VW, Seat and Honda still the better buy?

From £17,7808

Kia Stinger

Kia’s most dynamically adventurous model yet, the Stinger targets BMW, Audi, Mercedes and the rest of the executive saloon set

From £30,5457

Kia Stonic

Kia's Rio-based SUV is short on personality and interior finesse, but the Stonic is one of the better-handling small SUVs out there

From £15,9557

Kia Picanto

The new Kia Picanto gets lashings of style and a good 1.2-litre petrol engine to make it a compelling choice in the city car market, but the Volkswagen Up makes for stiff competition

From £9,0758

Kia Rio

Kia sends its fourth-gen supermini out to win a top-10 European sales ranking

From £11,6757

Kia Niro

Kia taps into the zeitgeist with an all-new hybrid compact crossover, but conventional models like the Nissan Qashqai, Renault Kadjar and Honda HR-V will take some beating

From £20,6457

Kia Sportage

Updated Kia Sportage aims to take its popular crossover appeal upmarket

From £17,4157

Kia Optima

Latest Optima looks to right the wrongs of the old model with improved quality, refinement and handling, but is it successful?

From £20,8456

Kia Procee’d GT (2013-2018)

Facelift brings a revised look and suspension tweaks to Kia’s warm hatch

From £24,0108

Kia Sorento

Can the new Sorento live up to the high aspirations that Kia has for it, or is the Skoda Kodiaq still the seven-seat SUV of choice?

From £28,7457

Kia Soul EV 2014-2019

Smooth, refined and responsive, but some way behind the EV models from Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen in nearly all areas

From £29,3456

Kia Soul 2014-2019

Kia adds refinement and maturity to its funky crossover without leaching out the charm. Still flawed dynamically

From £11,9706

Kia Quoris

Kia’s first executive saloon is good looking and appeals in some areas, even if it isn’t up to European standards

3

Kia Carens

All-new seven-seat MPV completes the renewal of Kia's line-up, but can it claim to be a driver's car like the rival Ford S-Max?

From £17,4007

Kia Cee'd 2012-2018

The Kia Cee’d is more than good enough to harry the opposition, which is an achievement in itself for the fiercely competitive family hatchback class

From £12,2308

Kia Optima 2012-2015

The Kia Optima has looks, practicality and value on its side. But in a class of talented models, it is an also-ran.

From £18,9456

Kia Procee'd 2008-2012

The Kia Procee'd looks the part, but does the drive deliver?

From £12,0307

Kia Rio 2011-2017

The Kia Rio offers appealing style and tangible quality as well as typical Kia brand value

From £9,4457

Kia Sorento 2010-2014

An almost class-leading family 4x4, if a little pricey given its workmanlike flavour

From £22,1806

Kia Venga

The Kia Venga is a good but unexceptional mini-MPV that’s disappointingly expensive

From £11,1456

Kia’s well priced compact soft-roader has been given attention-seeking looks

Kia Sportage 2010-2016

The Kia Sportage is more SUV than hatchback, with family appeal and value to commend it

From £16,6707

Kia Soul 2009-2014

The Kia Soul is dull to drive, but it's an appealing, quirky product allthesame

From £12,0106

Kia Picanto 2011-2017

The Kia Picanto is a mature and likeable city car capable of challenging the Volkswagen Up and the rest of the class’s best

From £7,4958

Kia Sedona 2006-2012

The Kia Sedona offers lots of space for seven, but it is no longer the spacious bargain it once was

From £19,9906

Kia Carens 2006-2011

The Kia Carens is a cheap way to carry seven, but its poor cabin finish lets it down

From £13,7806
