Kia

You have to admire the relentless method behind Kia's attack on the European market. Models in every niche, priced aggressively and of increasingly decent quality, and now with the C'eed a genuinely good car to worry the hell out of Peugeot & Co. Korea is rising...

  • Kia Carens

    Carens

    £13,780 - £18,215

    Stupidly named small MPV banking on laughable price tag to attract your attention. But you'll spot something better than this, even while browsing in the 'Pound Shop'.

  • Kia ceed

    Ceed

    £9,880 - £15,720

    Thought the Koreans didn't have any serious weapons? Think again. This hatch is Kia's hand-held rocket grenade, and it's just blown the Golf market wide open.

  • Kia Ceed Estate

    Ceed Estate

    Like a hatchback cee’d. But with a bigger boot. Which makes it even more practical and even more boring. You can guess which end of the head/heart spectrum this one’s at.

  • Kia Magentis

    Magentis

    £18,223 - £19,178

    What the C'eed does to the hatch market, the Magentis spectacularly fails to do in the minicab sector. Minicab drivers do like it, admittedly. But you won't.

  • Kia Picanto

    Picanto

    £6,515 - £11,645

    You pay peanuts, you get Picantos. All the same, it's still worth checking out this ultra-cheap, virtually disposable city car. Could be a bit of a laugh.

  • Kia Rio

    Rio

    £7,780 - £11,160

    So far from Duran Duran's goddess it's hard to imagine a more polar opposite. A hatch so grim we bet you daren't click on the link, in case the wife finds out later.

  • Kia Sedona

    Sedona

    £19,990 - £25,485

    Kia does the seven-seat MPV thing in typical style. So, it's boring to look at, dull to drive, tedious to talk about and a residual black hole. And, naturally, it's cheap.

  • Kia Sorento

    Sorento

    £22,180 - £32,395

    You still with us? Good. Now, this one is an SUV. Don't try to analyse this too closely though. After all, it's not 'Sporty' or particularly 'Utilitarian'. It is a 'Vehicle' though.

  • Kia Soul

    Soul

    £11,315 - £17,220

    The Soul has done extremely well just to stay true to the original concept. But the trouble is, it’s hard to work out exactly what that concept is.

  • Kia Sportage

    Sportage

    £16,515 - £25,955

    Funky little 'lifestyle' SUV, with a bit more fizz about it than most. Sharp of clothing it may be, but Kia's new crossover isn't as sharp on the tarmac as we'd like.
