KIA has been named as the Most Influential Electric Car Maker of 2024 by a leading magazine and has bagged a hatful of awards for its electrified models.

Hybrid and plug in hybrid versions of the Niro were named best in the Medium SUV class in this year's EcoCar Electrified Top 50 awards while the EV9 emerged victorious as the best electric seven seat SUV. The accolades were handed out by Diesel&EcoCar magazine which placed every Kia electrified model in the top half of its EcoCar top 50.

The awards come as Kia launches a series of customer incentives ahead of the key autumn new reg sales rush including lower, 2.9 per cent interest rates on EV6, Niro and Soul EVs, more generous deposit contributions across the range and two years free servicing on the Sportage.
