Kia wins at Diesel Car Magazine awards


Diesel Car magazine has named the Kia cee’d Sportswagon “Best Estate Car” in its annual Car of the Year issue – the first award won by Kia’s C-segment car.

Beating off strong opposition from the Mazda 6 Tourer and Jaguar XF Sportbrake to win the overall title, Diesel Car magazines editor, Ian Robertson said: “The cee’d Sportswagon combines well-designed practicality and excellent driving calibre in an attractive package.”

Kia had a strong showing in the Diesel Car magazine awards, with the Sorento highly commended in the mainstream 4x4 class, whilst the Rio was also commended in the mainstream small car class too. Celebrating their 25th anniversary in the business this year, Diesel Car is the UK’s top selling diesel, alternative fuel and eco-friendly car specialist monthly magazine.
