All the latest Kia company car reviews are here.
It’s the Company Car of the Year in the 2021 Business Motoring Awards. The all electric Kia e-Niro wowed the judges with its combination of style, equipment, EV range and, most important, tax advantages.
What is particularly appealing about all Kias is the seven-year warranty which can be carried over when you come to sell on. The Kia Care package has been extended allowing you to pay for the first seven years of servicing, rather than the previous five, to make budgeting easier.
Unlike most other manufacturers, Kia has not simply jacked the Ceed up with a taller body, the company has managed to get the XCeed to rock the look while maintaining a classy, almost fast back style.
It’s electric and with a range of 289 miles which will certainly see you through the daily commute, but it will also allow you to visit business clients without the necessity to stop for a few hours en route to charge up.

P11D Value: £25,465 BIK band 2018/19: 27% 5-door shooting brake 1.4-litre T-GDi diesel 138bhp/242Nm Performance: 9.1secs/127mph Economy (combined)/CO2: 42.8 miles/133g/km What is it? A very good question. Proceed isn’t a hatchback, it isn’t a wagon, it isn’t an SUV, it isn’t a crossover – it’s a shooting brake according to Kia although the Korean carmaker is keen to point out [...]
P11D Value: £32,995 BIK band 2018/19: 16% 5 door compact SUV 201bhp/395Nm, permanent magnet AC synchronous type 64 kWh Electric Motor Performance: 7.5secs/104mph Range/CO2: 289 miles/0g/km What is it? The Kia e-Niro: it’s all electric and with it comes range anxiety - that's what puts people off buying or leasing an electric car. But what if the range is [...]
The all-new Kia Ceed launches into the fiercely competitive family hatchback market. How does it measure up for your business motoring?
So this is the Stinger, Kia’s new, upscale grand turismo model. It's a five-door fastback in swoopy coupe clothes, spun off a new rear-wheel drive platform. Here we review the petrol Kia Stinger 2.0 T-GDi GT-Line model. What's it like for business motoring?
P11D Value/BIK Band: £22,240/27% 5-door, 5-seater estate 139ps/340Nm, 1,7-litre 4cyl diesel/6-spd manual box Economy (comb)/C02: 64.2mpg/113g/km Performance: 9.8sec/124mph What is it? The Optima is Kia’s effort to extract you from a Mondeo or Insignia by offering something with more space, style and technology.

What is it? We try the Kia Rio 1.0T-GDi 99bhp ISG version of the fourth-generation, bigger and altogether more sophisticated version of Kia's supermini. With sights set ever more firmly on conquest sales from Europe's and Japan's established market leaders, it comes with competitive, but no longer bargain, on-the-road pricing between £11,995 and £17,445 and a 10-model line-up with six engine, [...]
Kia Optima PHEV What is it? The Kia Optima PHEV is Kia’s first plug-in hybrid, with the green and 37g/km tax-saving powertrain helpfully slotted in the Optima saloon’s spacious body. Available with just the one engine - the 2.0-litre petrol, power and economy are boosted with the addition of a 50kW electric motor. The result is 202bhp and 176.6mpg - but how does [...]
Kia Niro What is it? Kia Niro is Kia's first-in-segment crossover that’s built on a hybrid platform. So, the Niro could be one of the greenest crossovers and should offer something genuinely different for business buyers! What’s hot We’re fans of this hybrid drivetrain, having tried it recently in the sister car the Hyundai Ioniq. Read our Ioniq HEV review. Although [...]
What is it? This is the all-new fourth-generation version of Kia’s popular SUV in expected business-friendly 1.7 CRDi KX-3 specification. What’s hot? The 1.7-litre CRDi diesel is a proven engine that gets slightly more power (114bhp) and feels punchy on the road. Yet it is well-matched to a slick six-speed manual transmission and still boasts a combined fuel consumption figure [...]
Kia Optima 1.7 CRDi 7-Speed DCT ISG4 What is it? Meet Kia’s new shape, fully revised Optima, a competitive new 2016 player on the block for UK business drivers. Front to back, this latest gen Optima stands as an extensive makeover of the departing model which struggled to make much headway in a business class dominated by the might of [...]
Kia Pro_Cee’d GT Line 1.0 T-GDi review: What is it? The face-lifted, sportier three-door version of Kia’s Focus and Volkswagen Golf rival. On top of slight visual tweaks, the GT Line is an all-new sportier trim and there’s a brand new business-friendly, 1.0-litre, three-cylinder petrol turbo engine to power this Pro_Cee’d. What’s hot? The new three-cylinder 1.0-litre turbo engine available [...]
Kia Cee’d 4 1.6 CRDi Auto DCT ISG review: What is it? The face-lifted, five-door version of Kia’s Focus and Volkswagen Golf rival – the Cee’d, fitted with an all-new 134bhp 1.6 CRDi diesel and seven-speed automatic transmission, that’s designed to bring emissions down to more competitive levels What’s hot?
