Kia has picked up four awards at the industry-focused 2025 Fleet News Awards.
The awards include Zero Emission Manufacturer of the Year, as well as Best Mid-size SUV, Best Medium Car and Best Large SUV for the Kia EV3, EV6 and EV9, respectively.
Despite intense competition in each sector, four Kia cars were shortlisted for awards this year, with Kia UK also named a finalist for two manufacturer awards, including the inaugural year for Fleet News’ Zero Emission Manufacturer of the Year Award:
Announced at a prestigious awards ceremony in London, the Fleet News Awards celebrate the best in fleet suppliers, companies, vehicles and people, with awards judged by its readers.
Kia reached more than 112,000 annual sales for the first time in 2024, making it the fourth best-selling car brand in the UK. Kia has continued to grow sustainably, aided by strong demand across its model line-up, particularly with fleet customers who accounted for around 60% of sales last year.
In the 2024 and 2023 Fleet News Awards, the Kia Niro won the ‘Best Lower Medium Car’ award two years in a row thanks to its versatility and appealing electrified powertrains.
