Their UK operations continue to grow, with a strong dealer network offering excellent customer service and aftersales support.

How does KIA car's resale value hold up in the UK market

Car depreciation in the UK - which affects resale value - is influenced by many factors such as mileage, number of previous owners, warranty, service history, brand, model reliability and desirability, fuel economy, the size and cost of the vehicle to name a few.

Consequently, used cars like Kia's have been holding their value better, or even gaining value in some cases, over the past few years.

Kia’s industry-leading 7-year warranty also contributes to strong resale values, as many used Kia vehicles still have warranty coverage remaining, making them an attractive choice for second-hand buyers.
