7/10KiaCarens£17,995 – £27,095It’s handsome, well-built and pleasant, with Kia’s monster warranty an added draw.
7/10KiaSportage£19,735 – £33,660Facelifted Sportage gains mild hybrid diesel tech, but it’s not enough to radically alter the class landscape
7/10KiaPicanto£8,290 – £14,500Another string to Kia’s ever more impressive bow, the Picanto is a fun and interesting city car.
7/10Kiapro_cee'd GT£17,940 – £22,955A well-considered first effort from Kia: a hot hatch nicely suited to the everyday real world.
7/10KiaCeed£18,075 – £26,965Kia improves things yet again. Refinement, styling and interior quality are nearly as good as anything out there. Nearly…
6/10KiaSoul£12,565 – £30,440New Soul puts practicality to the fore, but in other areas less progress has been made.
6/10KiaStinger£31,140 – £39,240A credible first ever sports saloon from Kia. Interesting to look at, and huge value for money. Needs a better gearbox though.
6/10KiaOptima£22,000 – £25,440Forget the Magentis, this is a big Kia that's actually appealing. But so too is the cheaper Hyundai i40...
6/10KiaPro_cee'd£17,940 – £22,955It won't trouble the cream of the three-door hatch brigade, but it's a mighty good effort, and looks fantastic.
6/10KiaProceed£19,040 – £28,425A refreshing niche that ain’t a crossover, but not as sporty as billed
6/10KiaCee'd Sportswagon£18,330 – £28,380The Kia Cee'd is the car that lobs the paving slab of reality into the windscreen of preconception. It might be a straight clone of a Toyota/Ford/VW hatch, but it’s a damn good one.
5/10MG Motor UKMG3£8,214 – £11,475Not quite the awful snotter we were expecting. But it is ruined by an awful engine.
4/10KiaVenga£13,540 – £18,950As sensible and tasty as a dry cracker. A decent enough car, perhaps one for the Freedom Pass brigade.
