KIA’S most popular and best-selling sport utility vehicle, Sorento, beat some of the world’s top brand competitors to win Australia’s best SUV over $A40,000 ($F65,121) in Drive’s annual car of the year awards for the third time.
Kia Sorento diesel took on finalists from Porsche, BMW and Toyota to emerge triumphant in one of the most competitive segments in the Australian new car market.
Kia Motors Fiji CEO Madhu Tappoo said the win was an endorsement of the Kia brand and attention to detail and value that Kia offered customers.
“Winning such a prestigious award three times in a row, and against such a quality field of finalists is clear evidence of Kia’s all-round strength and family friendly qualities to meet today’s modern world customer demands, especially the award winning designs, fuel efficient engines, hi-tech and user friendly features and above all the family-like after sales service,” Mr Tappoo said.
