Kia hat-trick at Fleet World Awards 2023

Kia UK Limited collected a hat-trick of awards at the recent Fleet World Great British Fleet Awards 2023. 

The Kia Sportage, all-new Niro HEV, and all-new Niro EV each topped their respective categories at the awards ceremony held at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes. 

The Sportage retained its 'Best Fleet Medium SUV' award that it also won in 2022. The Hybrid Niro collected the award for 'Best Fleet Small SUV', while its fully electric sibling, the Niro EV, was named 'Best EV Small SUV'.

John Challen, Editor of Fleet World, said: “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. 

The all-new Niro family comes electrified as standard. There is the choice of the fully hybrid Niro HEV, the plug-in hybrid Niro PHEV, and the fully electric Niro EV.

Commenting on the Niro, 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.” .

John Hargreaves is the General Manager of Fleet and Remarketing at Kia UK. He said: “It's fantastic to see three of our products win these important fleet awards. Fleet sales play an important role at Kia and helped us achieve the best-ever results last year with over 100,000 sales for the first time. 

“We're thrilled that the Fleet World awards judges agree the Sportage, Niro and Niro EV offer great fleet appeal, thanks to their efficiency, versatility, practicality  and availability.”
