Kia Sportage and Sorento take honours in SA Car of the Year competition.
2 August, 2023
Since its global debut in 2003, the Kia Sorento has established itself as one of the brand’s most loved vehicles as it has become progressively more powerful, more attractive, better engineered and more technologically advanced with each iteration.
A win in the Premium category validates the fact that the Sorento sets fresh benchmarks for sophistication, quality, practicality and safety in its segment, cementing its rightful place as the flagship of the Kia SUV line-up.
The latest fifth generation Kia Sportage trumped five other finalists in the Midsize category, four of which are direct competitors, to secure the honours in this hotly contested category.
The Sportage is Kia’s best-selling model globally and has always been a car of firsts. The Sportage set the tone for multiple automakers to follow the design and development of what we know as an SUV today.
The Sportage is one of the first Kia models to receive multiple global design awards, spearheading advances in design, quality, technology and reliability with each generation and while doing so never compromised on being relevant to the market.
The latest accolade by South Africa’s motoring media adds to the Sportage’s very long list of global awards.
The Sportage offers a great balance of premium value, a balanced combination of premium quality features without sacrificing on an undeniable value proposition, underpinned by world class design and engineering.
The Sportage is also sold with an industry leading unlimited kilometre, five-year warranty, five years roadside assistance and a prepaid six-year/90 000km service plan.
The range topping Kia Sorento walked away with the honours in the Premium category. The fourth generation Kia Sorento has the raised the bar in its class when it comes to space, efficiency and quality.
With its sharp exterior design, high tech details and premium quality interior, the Sorento offers a great balance between premium quality and value for money.
Kia’s premium SUVs have won their respective categories in the 2023 South African Car of the Year awards, which were presented at a gala event held in Johannesburg at the beginning of June.
The awards were presented by the South African Guild of Mobility Journalists (SAGMJ) and sponsored by Old Mutual Insure.
