Be interesting to see what nationality the judges are ?

Only 4 from South Korea.

Rather than worrying about conspiracies and bias has anyone considered the possibility that the Kia EV3 is just an exceptionally good all round car?

It certainly seems to get rave reviews from anybody and everybody, looks good, is priced sensibly and comes with a 7 year warranty. Not sure what there is not to like.

Very impressive for a company that a few years ago made cars that people bought as a cheap alternative to the mainstream manufacturers

Indeed so. Am I unduly sad that such cars are not rolling off UK production lines?

Not exactly a 'looker' though, and those sight lines don't look good either. I think they've had too much influence from parent company Hyundai, ......

Well, I quite like its looks. But then I really liked the looks of my Peter Schreyer designed Audi A6. If you ever see one today they still look modern in comparison with its three-box-style BMW and MB contemporaries. I suspect it's his influence.

A friend has a Kia ev6, previously he drove a Tesla. Both company cars of course. His opinion is the Kia is a far nicer and better car all round, particularly interior build quality and ease of use of dash, controls etc. they have certainly come a long way since the 90s.

After an intensive competitive tender by the Government Car Pool the office chose the Kia Nero EV and Hybrid In total, the government’s central fleet of 680 plug-in vehicles includes 449 examples of the plug-in hybrid Kia Niro, along with 110 of the Sportage PHEV.
