Continuing its fine start to 2023, the all-new Kia Niro has been named best in class, winning the award for ‘Best Crossover’ in the 2023 UK Car of the Year (UK COTY) awards.

The Niro is available in a trio of powertrains; hybrid, plug-in hybrid and EV, each available to order from Brindley Kia in Wolverhampton and West Bromwich.

Evaluated and judged by a panel of the UK’s most well-respected and professional motoring journalists, the second-generation Niro topped one of the most competitive segments, the crossover class. The Niro impressed judges with its range of powertrains, striking aesthetics and impressive value for money, with prices starting from £28,295.

UK COTY judge Alex Grant commented: “The new Niro builds on the success of the very popular first-generation car, combining the familiar choice of electrified powertrains and spacious interior with a much-needed step up in aesthetics”. Fellow judge Jonny Smith echoed Grant’s comments, saying: “The Niro consistently ticks the economy, family, fleet-car friendly and unrivalled warranty boxes”.

All of the UK COTY jurors came to the same conclusion that the all-new Niro was a thoroughly impressive model that continues what its revolutionary predecessor started, albeit making great strides forward in design and refinement. Having won its category, the all-new Niro is put forward for the overall ‘UK Car of the Year 2023’ award, which will be announced in March.
