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 Volkswagen & Co. Korea is rising...
-
Carens
£13,780 - £18,215
Kia has delivered a raft of interesting, great-value cars recently that are genuinely good. This isn't one of those. Avoid.
-
Cee'd
£12,030 - £18,345
The original soldier in Kia's War On Apostrophes, the new Cee'd is a threat to anything Europe has to offer. Looks classy, too.
-
Cee'd Estate
£14,965 - £18,830
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.
-
Picanto
£6,515 - £11,645
Be under no illusion, the latest Picanto is genuinely accomplished: Kia means business.
-
Rio
£7,780 - £11,160
The latest Kia Rio is as good as the old one was mediocre. Designed by the man behind the Audi TT, don't be surprised if you actually consider one.
-
Soul
£11,315 - £17,220
It's better on the move than it's boxy dimensions suggest, and is actually a very interesting car.
-
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.
-
Venga
£11,215 - £15,145
Despite the nineties pop act name, this isn't a bad car at all. Sensible, affordable... and just a little bit dull.
