KIA PICANTO AVAILABLE AT SPEEDWELL KIA WINS BEST VALUE CAR AT THE SUNDAY TIMES MOTOR AWARDS 2019
The Kia Picanto was voted by readers as the ‘Best Value Car’ at this year’s awards
The city car was praised for its low running costs and seven year warranty
The Kia Picanto, available at Speedwell Kia has been awarded ‘Best Value Car’ at The Sunday Times Motor Awards 2019. The Kia Picanto is on-sale from £9,895 with specification options including Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, Reversing Camera System with Dynamic Guidelines and 7" Touchscreen Satellite Navigation with RDS & DAB.
The editors and writers of The Sunday Times Driving and Driving.co.uk, along with the experts from Times Luxx magazine and Sun Motors, drew up shortlists for each of the categories. Readers of these titles were then able to vote for their favourite cars online to choose the winner.
Rob Gill, Automotive Editor of Sun Motors commented: “The Picanto is a small and (almost) perfectly formed car that is modestly good fun to drive, extremely frugal to run and comes with the Brucie-bonus of a seven-year warranty. Opt for the top-spec GT Line trim, and it even looks the part.”
Raul Martinez, Sales Manager at Speedwell Kia comments “It’s great to see the Picanto winning another prestigious award. At our dealership, we get a lot of enquires about the Picanto, it’s stylish but practical design makes it a very popular choice”.
Paul Philpott, President and CEO of Kia Motors (UK) Ltd. said: “The Kia Picanto is entering the third year of its current model cycle so winning this award at this mid-life stage is humbling, and it proves that our A-segment city car is industry leading in its customer offering. Delivering space, style, high specification and competitive pricing, the Picanto serves us, and our customers, very well.”
Other Kia models shortlisted for the awards included ProCeed for ‘Best Family Car’ and Best Designed Car and e-Niro for ‘Best Electric Car’. Kia was also nominated for Best Manufacturer.
Speedwell Kia stocks a wide range of new and used Kia vehicles, including the Kia Picanto with prices starting from £9,895.
