Wessex Kia Bristol has relocated to a purpose-built flagship showroom on Jupiter Road, Cribbs Causeway, as part of a £12 million investment.
The new facility, which officially opened its doors to customers on 12 October, relocated 12 miles from Wessex Kia’s previous site on Feeder Road.
Tracy Griffiths, communications director at Wessex Kia, said: “Our new flagship store demonstrates our long-term commitment to Kia and our belief in the enduring appeal of the brand in the Bristol area.
“We have a fantastic partnership with Kia, built around shared ambitions for growth, innovation and, most importantly, delivering an exceptional experience for our customers.
“We’re incredibly proud of what has been created here and excited about the opportunities this investment will bring for our customers, our colleagues and the Kia brand. This marks the start of a very exciting new chapter for Wessex Garages.”
The new showroom benefits from a 75% increase in display space, with showroom capacity for eight vehicles inside and up to 120 vehicles on the outside forecourt.
It is also home to a Kia PBV (Platform Beyond Vehicle) Centre.
Visitors have access to 22 standard parking bays and 12 electric vehicle (EV) charging bays.
The workshop has almost doubled in size, growing from seven to 13 vehicle repair bays, alongside dedicated MOT facilities.
The site also now features a café-style lounge space, equipped with Wi-Fi and refreshments so customers.
Wessex Kia Bristol will be recruiting for multiple roles including sales executives, technicians, service advisors and business-to-business specialists.
