Seven versions of the all-new Kia Soul urban crossover passenger car will star in a special ‘Soul World’ as the new segment-busting vehicle makes its world debut at the Paris Mondial de l’Automobile from 2 October 2008.

Just one year since its introduction to the UK new car market and the Kia cee’d SW has raced ahead of its competitors to top the retail sales chart for estate cars.

Just like the Kia cee’d five-door, the cee’d SW has torn up the residual price-guide rule books and surpassed CAP clean prices at auction by selling for 109 per cent of the guide.

In August 2005 Kia moved its UK import operation to a massive site at Killingholme on the Humber and in just three years’ thanks to the brand’s growing UK presence’ the facility has processed 100,000 vehicles.

With ever increasing bills and the cost of living escalating on a day to day basis Kia Motors has decided to take the strain from customers and pay the vehicle excise duty on new Sportage models for the next three years.

Sandicliffe Motor Group, the East Midlands family-owned car retailer, has made one customer’s lifelong dream come true and created a real life ‘Penelope Pitstop’ after spray painting Dr Elizabeth Hodds new Kia Sorento 2.5 CRDi XE in her favourite colour, pink.

With everyone watching their wallets at the moment, Kia Motors has come up with a plan to help its customers spread the cost of servicing with a monthly payment of as little as the cost of a take-away meal.

The Kia franchise just keeps getting hotter with the National Franchised Dealer Association survey putting the brand in the top 10 of most highly rated of businesses.

Kia’s sharply-stylish new segment-busting Soul is set to win over minds as well as hearts at the Paris Salon de l’Automobile in October with confirmation that the urban crossover will come to Europe next year with a choice of fuel-efficient petrol and diesel engines.

The appeal of the Kia franchise has dramatically improved amongst dealers according to the latest Sewells’ Dealer Attitude Survey with the brand shooting up to a ranking 15 out of 34 marques.
