30 December 2008
A 4x4 Kia car has been handed a value award for the third year in a row.
The Kia Sportage has scooped a prestigious prize at this year's Planet 4x4 2008 Awards.The car has been named the Value for Money Champion for the third year in a row, thanks in part to some recent improvements.
Changes which have been made to improve the 4x4 include an upgraded suspension and a more substantial braking system.
The manufacturer has also included more comfortable seating and equipment inside since it last won the award in 2007.
The Kia Sportage is also the only 4x4 in the whole of Europe to come with a seven year warranty.
Alan Kidd, editor of Planet 4x4, said: "The 4x4 market is ever-changing, but there's been one constant throughout the history of our 4x4 of the Year awards.
"That's the Sportage, which has maintained a 100 per cent success rate in taking home the Best Value trophy for Kia every time."
Paul Philpott, managing director of Kia Motors UK said the company was "very pleased" to have been recognised once again.
