Kia Triumphs at 2025 What Car? Car of the Year Awards

Kia has made waves at the prestigious 2025 What Car? Car of the Year Awards, taking home three major accolades. The Kia EV3 was crowned ‘Best Small Electric SUV’, the ever-popular Kia Sportage secured ‘Best Family SUV’ for the third consecutive year, and the highly anticipated Kia EV4 scooped the ‘Readers’ Choice’ award.

This impressive performance continues Kia’s tradition of excellence, with the brand earning multiple What Car? awards across its range over the past five years.

Kia EV3: Setting the Standard for Small Electric SUVs

The all-new Kia EV3 has already made a strong impression, taking home the award for ‘Best Small Electric SUV’. Offering seating for five, a class-leading range of up to 375 miles on a single charge, and innovative features like a regenerative braking system, the EV3 combines practicality with cutting-edge efficiency.

The What Car? judges praised its spacious interior, superior driving position, and smooth suspension, describing it as "one of the most practical cars in its class." The EV3 is already proving popular in its first full year of sales, cementing its position as an electric SUV to watch.

Kia Sportage: A Family Favorite for the Third Year Running

For the third year in a row, the Kia Sportage has been named ‘Best Family SUV’, reaffirming its status as a trusted choice for families. The judges highlighted its balance of comfort and control, stylish yet practical interior, and excellent value for money.

The fifth-generation Sportage continues to break records, with 2024 seeing over 47,000 units sold in the UK alone. It’s now Kia’s best-selling model globally and the UK’s second most popular car overall.

Kia EV4: Voted the ‘Readers’ Choice’

The upcoming Kia EV4 has already captured the imagination of drivers, earning the ‘Readers’ Choice’ award. Voted the most exciting new car of 2025 by What Car? readers, the EV4’s bold design and advanced electric technology have created a buzz even before its official unveiling.

The EV4 follows in the footsteps of Kia’s other electric flagships, such as the EV6 and EV9, and promises to expand Kia’s lineup with an electric saloon that combines style, performance, and innovation.
