Kia EV6 2022 review
The Kia EV6 is a stylish and multi-award-winning electric car – but you might be surprised at the price. We drive the flagship GT Line S.
Kia EV6 GT 2023 review
A frozen lake is the perfect playground for the 585hp Kia EV6 GT. We head to Norway and learn how to drift.
Kia Niro EV 2023 long-term test
The original Kia e-Niro helped put the affordable, long-range EV on the map. It’s now been replaced by the Kia Niro EV: we’re running one to see if the magic remains.
Kia Proceed 1.4 T-GDI GT-Line S 2019 long-term review
Kia makes some exciting-looking cars these days. Britain loves the Sportage SUV, a regular top-10 best-seller, and automotive enthusiasts love the Stinger GT coupe, a performance Audi alternative that is more head-turning than any A5 Sportback. It’s not letting up in 2019 either: out goes the forgettable Pro_cee’d three-door hatch, and in comes the new […]
Kia Proceed 2019 review
The 2019 Kia Proceed is a stylish coupe-estate version of the value-brand's Ceed family hatchback. It brings head-turning style to the sub-£25,000 sector

Kia ProCee’d GT 2016 review
Does satisfaction kill the desire? We spend a week with the refreshed Kia Pro_Cee’d GT to find out
Kia Sorento 2015 review
Kia calls the new Sorento “dramatic and muscular”. We reckon it’s a bit brutal in appearance, especially from the front with that massive, ugly grille. Yet Kia isn’t the first going down this road. Just look at the new Volvo XC90. The third generation Sorento is significantly longer and a touch wider and lower, most […]
Kia Soul 2014 review
The Kia Soul is huge in America; they sell hundreds of thousands there each year. Fitting, really: it was designed in California after all. But for all its utilitarian cool, the first generation model never really caught on in the UK. Buyers like quirky when it’s Nissan Juke-shaped, but not when the compact crossover looks […]
Kia Soul EV 2015 review
Kia's cleverly conceived Soul EV isn't cheap but makes lots of sense in Britain's fledgling EV market
Kia Soul EV 2020 review
The 2020 Kia Soul EV offers a 280-mile range and an excellent seven-year warranty. Should it be on your electric car shortlist?
Kia Sportage 2020 long-term review
The Kia Sportage is a UK top-10 best-seller: we're spending six months with one to find out why it's so popular
Kia Sportage GT-Line S 2.0 CRDi 48V mild hybrid long-term review
Living with the Kia Sportage GT-Line S 2.0 CRDi 184 48V mild hybrid turbodiesel. It's tech first seen in Bentleys and Audis, now available for under £35k. But does it work?
