Kia Named Best Manufacturer at Autocar Awards 2023

Kia has been named ‘Best Manufacturer’ at the 2023 Autocar Awards, following a record-breaking 2022 and a superb start to 2023.

The prestigious Autocar Awards (held annually at the Silverstone Wing venue at the Silverstone Circuit) celebrate the best of the automotive world, as well as recognising individual excellence throughout the industry.

The All-New Niro and Sportage received particular praise as both models contribute to making Kia the most popular brand in the C-SUV segment – they are now among the UK’s best-selling models overall.

Kia’s range of electric vehicles continues to impress, with the EV6, All-New Niro EV and Soul EV all receiving regular praise from critics and customers alike. It’s not only Kia’s award-winning products which hailed the win but also the brand’s customer experience quality, including first-class ratings, convenience services and apps.

Kia shows no signs of slowing down either, with plans to introduce a line-up of 15 fully electric vehicles by 2027. To that end, the Kia EV9 arrives in the UK later this year – read more about it here.
