Steve Davidson, General Manager at Burrows Kia comments on the wins: "We're thrilled that the e-Niro has won yet another award without even being on sale in the UK yet. We're excited to reveal the car to customers of Barnsley from April. The face that the Picanto has also retained its 2018 award recognition and the Ceed and Stinger were also recognised within their price categories is testament to the work and time Kia invests in its cars. Here at Burrows Kia we are looking forward to yet another successful year with Kia."
