For years, Kia were known as manufacturers of reliable, safe family cars. Nobody expected anything particularly exciting from a Kia. This all changed in the mid-2000s when they hired designers from other leading car brands and asked for a revamp. Kia wanted to be recognisable and have a hint of swagger, and the distinctive ‘tiger nose’ design that now features on all their cars gave them just that.
Key highlights
In changing the design of their cars, Kia could easily have fallen into a trap – but they didn’t. This is no ‘style over substance’ alteration. If you lease a Kia rental, you know you’re getting reliability and safety wrapped in an eye-catching package. Comfort also features heavily in the engineering behind these cars, so a smooth ride in a quality interior is also on the cards.
Kia: thinking of the future
Kia transformed our thinking of Korean cars: they didn’t just need to be practical, they could be fun too. And now they’re entering the electric car market, they’re really starting to push boundaries. Awards are rolling in for their all-electric cars, and the vehicles combine a blistering pace with fast charging capabilities and impressive driving ranges.
The car manufacturer is looking beyond the battery to save the environment, too. They use a special Green Design System that ensures every part of the production process is as earth-friendly as possible. The finest details of the logistics system in the supply chain have been checked, and the vehicle recycling centre ensures as many components as possible from old cars are reused on new ones. Kia really does appear to be a company that cares.

With bold, futuristic styling, Kia’s EV6 SUV is instantly recognisable. The brand’s distinctive tiger face grille has been ‘digitised’, and with a flat floor for optimum aerodynamics, Kia has created a car that both looks the part and delivers what the visuals promise. It’s fast and ruthlessly efficient – few cars can be charged to travel 60 miles in under five minutes. It’s a brilliant choice for anyone looking to lease an electric vehicle that’s as practical as it is fun.

The Kia Niro is an outstanding family car. This is an electric vehicle that has a lot of storage space – it’s ideal both for quick trips to the nursery and shopping hauls at the DIY store. And with all that luggage space coupled with impressive efficiency and a comfortable drive, it’s also perfect for long trips. The Niro is what modern EV buyers expect; so convenient and efficient that it makes petrol and diesel suddenly seem painfully old school.
