Double-win for excellent EV6 at Auto Trader New Car Awards 2024
- Kia EV6 named ‘Best Car for Families’
- EV6 also collects ‘Best Car for Dog Owners’ award
- Second major win for Kia EV6 in two years
The Kia EV6 has once again demonstrated its award-winning abilities at the Auto Trader New Car Awards 2024, being named both ‘Best Car for Families’ and ‘Best Car for Dog Owners’.
The Auto Trader New Car Awards are different from other car awards as the winners are not decided on by the opinions of industry insiders, but by the people whose opinion matters most: car owners. This year, over 200,000 UK car owners completed an online survey sharing exactly what they think of their car, with their thoughts and opinions (obtained from real-world experience) determining the winners of 20 of this year’s 23 award categories, including both of Kia’s award wins.
The Kia EV6, a now familiar model at the heart of Kia’s multi-award winning line up, was first launched in 2021 and was the first model to wear the new Kia badge, following Kia’s significant rebranding. Now more than three years old, the EV6 continues to scoop a multitude of awards from top-level UK, European and global publications.
With a real-world range of up to 328-miles on a single charge, space for five, ultra-fast charging capabilities and a comprehensive list of trim levels, the EV6 evidently impressed UK customers and owners with both its family-friendly and canine-compatible credentials, with owners nominating the EV6 for both major category award wins.
Erin Baker, Auto Trader’s Editorial Director, commented on the EV6’s double-award win saying: “When it comes to the best car for families and dog owners, the Kia EV6 comes out on top with owners loving its effortless combination of practicality, technology, head turning looks and a great driving experience. As one owner commented: ‘It is so easy and enjoyable to drive. The car is very comfortable with everything you need easily accessible.’ Another stated that they loved their EV6 because of the ‘smoothness of driving experience an amazing interior space for passengers including four-legged friends’.”
At last year’s Auto Trader New Car Awards, Kia’s EVs also garnered similar success, with the Soul EV being named ‘Best Value Electric Car’, while the EV6 won Auto Trader’s coveted ‘New Car of the Year’ award.
The EV6 set the tone for Kia’s range of EVs in the UK, which will grow by one later in the year. As part of the brand’s ‘Plan S’ strategy, Kia will have launched 15 EVs globally by 2027, nine of which will be coming to the UK. Having commenced with the EV6, followed by the EV9 last year, the EV3 will make its way to the UK later this year; hoping to follow in the footsteps of its decorated larger siblings.

6 STARS !!
We recently purchased a car, sight-unseen, from Premier Isuzu & Select Used Cars Manchester. I dealt with a very competent, polite & professional sales chap, called Jourdan. Figures were agreed, finance signed & sealed and the car delivered to us, free of charge ! Based 200 miles away & purchasing an expensive car without viewing first is always a concern, especially when doing it for the first time ! Such is the modern, click & collect world, I suppose. Jourdan was transparent, open and honest throughout, answering all of our questions and making us feel completely at ease. On arrival, the car really did exceed our expectations. It was prepared & presented to a very high standard, as promised, and all paperwork was present & correct. Highly commend Jourdan for a sterling job, his hard work & efficiency. Thank you. Couldn’t be happier & wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Premier Isuzu & Select used cars !

KIA SPORTAGE FROM ROCHDALE BRANCH
I contacted this Kia branch on Thursday1st of March, I had seen a Sportage on their website, the gentleman I spoke with was Charley Murton. He explained the car was a former demonstrator, I had been surprised to see a latest generation Sportage for sale so soon. I explained I wished to part exchange my current vehicle against a prospective purchase. I went to the dealership the following Tuesday, Charley was very welcoming and offered me a coffee, I needed it after having been at the mercy of a satnav for over an hour. He made me a very welcome offer on my vehicle and then we went for a test drive. Loved the car straight away. The negotiations were done professionally and efficiently, he then sorted out delivery to my home the following day, amazingly quickly. I have contacted him a couple of times since with a few questions he has continued to be extremely helpful each time. I am very impressed with this dealership and Charley in particular. A note to Charley your directions to get me home we’re spot on no need for the satnav and a half hour quicker!!

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE
From start to finish our experience of Premier Automobiles excellent. Our salesman Neil was professional, friendly and helpful and he made the buying experience easy. He talked us through the whole process, ensuring that we had all the information we required to help us decide on the right car for us. Despite being further away than other dealerships, we felt the journey to Premier was worth the extra mileage. Neil's honest, no flannel approach was reassuring and we will definitely go back to Premier in the future. In fact, we will be using their service department for our annual services.
