Kia EV3 Takes Another Car Of The Year Award
Kia’s EV3 secured two gongs at the annual Autotrader Drivers’ Choice Awards, including taking the top honour for ‘Car of the Year’.
Winners in the awards were decided by more than 200,000 car owners from across the UK, with the EV3 beating the BMW iX3 and the Renault Scenic E-Tech to the top award.
The new model also won ‘Best Mainstream Electric Car’ ahead of the Peugeot 3008 and the Volkswagen ID.7.
The EV3 has already secured multiple awards since being launched as Kia’s latest all-electric offering, and is the cheapest electric car in the range – starting from £33,005 on the road.
“The EV3 has received a glowing introduction since launch,” Paul Philpott, President & CEO of Kia UK Limited, said. “Having already won UK and World Car of the Year for 2025, it’s even more encouraging to see real customers voting it their Car of the Year via Auto Trader.
“This opinion is demonstrated in the EV3’s current UK sales performance, being the best-selling EV in the retail market year to date and a strong contender across other channels.
“This positive recognition gives us and our dealer partners enhanced momentum as we continue to launch yet more customer centric EVs, such as the EV4 and EV5 coming by year end.”
