The all-new Kia Sorento has been named the best car in Britain by leading motoring title Carbuyer.
Kia’s seven-seat SUV impressed Carbuyer’s panel of judges with a remarkable blend of space, tech and value for money, which it says combines to form “a versatile SUV that’s nipping at the heels of premium rivals”.
The awards also mark the 10th anniversary of Carbuyer, and to celebrate the Ford Fiesta was announced as the winner of its very special Car of the Decade award.
“This year has been the most challenging that we’ve faced, but we’re continually impressed that car manufacturers have continued to launch models that people really want to buy,” saidf Richard Ingram, editor of Carbuyer.
“The Kia Sorento is the perfect example; a car that offers the style, space and range of engines that means it is the undisputed king of the new-car market.
“For Carbuyer’s Car of the Decade, we looked for a single model that defined the automotive landscape – a car that does exactly what it says on the tin.
“The Ford Fiesta has been the UK’s best-selling car every year since Carbuyer launched and is a byword for British motoring. It’s a brilliant all-rounder and truly deserving of our coveted Car of the Decade trophy.”
