Award Puts Kia In Seventh Heaven

KIA has received yet another award for its industry-leading, seven-year warranty.

First introduced on the European designed and built Cee’d in 2007, the manufacturer-backed warranty is marking its seventh anniversary and has been lauded with the CarBuyer ‘Buyer’s Award’ in its 2014 honours.

Since the seven-year warranty was first applied to the Cee’d, 82,884 vehicles have found homes with UK consumers. The warranty was also applied to Sportage models from late 2007. And since January 2010 more than 200,000 Kia customers have benefitted from the warranty.

Commenting on the generous aftersales car package, Paul Philpott, President and Chief Executive of Kia Motors (UK) Limited said: “Over the last seven years hundreds of thousands of British motorists have benefitted from the security provided by the seven year warranty – across Europe that number rises to millions!

“And still, no-one in the European market has really matched the level of cover and the simplicity of our warranty. As we approach the warranty’s seventh birthday – and there are still cars out there from Day One with their warranties fully functional – it is a great honour that CarBuyer has recognised what a game-changer it has been for both the private and business motorist.”
