The Kia EV3 has been named ‘UK Car of the Year 2025’ in a decision made by 31 industry experts.
The EV3 is Kia’s newest EV on sale, representing the next step in the company’s ‘Plan S’ strategy. The vehicle has a range of up to 375 miles on a single charge.
Paul Philpott, President & CEO of Kia UK, said: “We’re delighted to once again be victorious winning the outright UK Car of the Year Award with EV3. This follows our success in 2024 with EV9.
“These consecutive awards clearly demonstrate Kia’s strong leadership in electrification, the genuine demand from UK customers and the quality of our product line up.
“With this outstanding recognition and our increasing order bank, we and our dealer partners are confident EV3 will continue being a popular and accessible choice for the growing number of people switching to electric.”
The EV3 also holds the European Car of the Year title and is a finalist for the 2025 World Car Awards, with the final three nominees due to be announced later in March.
Last year, the EV9 took home the trophies for Large Crossover and overall UK Car of the Year.
