There are nine versions on offer, based on two engines, two transmissions and five trim lines – badged ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘GT-Line’ and ‘GT-Line S’. ‘GT-Line’ and ‘GT-Line S’ bring an unprecedented level of sportiness to the Picanto range, with bespoke exterior and interior styling and exclusive trim features. In common with all Kias, the all-new Picanto comes with a class-leading ­­seven-year/100,000-mile warranty.

Kia UK announces the third quarter offers available on a selected number of its new cars, with a £1000 saving or PCPC deals.

• Customers who take a test drive will receive £1,000 saving on a new car purchase
• New line-up for superminis Picanto and Rio
• 4.9 per cent APR across models in the range

Kia Motors UK Ltd is set to continue a strong range of customer offers across the entire line-up, available from 188 dealers across the country. New for the third quarter, Kia are offering customers who choose to take a test drive of selected models of the Kia range between 1 July and 30 September a massive £1,000 saving if they purchase a new car.

Certain models and trim levels may be exempt from any offers currently on offer - please refer to your
local dealer for a more details list of what cars and trim levels are on offer by Kia UK.

With a test drive proving a valuable part of the car-buying experience, customers will benefit from this exclusive offer. With many consumers now choosing to shop for their vehicles online, Kia believes that taking a test drive is still an important part of buying a car as it allows customers to really experience the vehicle for themselves.  

Kia’s superminis are also getting a revised line-up this summer, with added features and a range of financial offers available to customers. The revised Picanto 5-door line-up has been honed to just three generously specified grades – ‘1 Air’, ‘SE’, and ‘Sport’ -  available with 4.9 per cent APR across the range and £500 PCP deposit allowance on ‘SE’ and ‘Sport’.

The Rio 5-door line-up will also benefit from a simplified enhanced range, with a revised ‘1 Air’ and new ‘SE’ derivatives. Rio also benefits from the 4.9 per cent APR, with up to £750 PCP deposit allowance.

Kia will continue to offer its popular 4.9 per cent APR, with no deposit required. This means customers can walk into a dealership with no deposit, and take a new Kia model home the same day. In addition Kia’s mid-size range cars – Venga, Soul and Carens – continue to benefit from a zero per cent conditional sale with a 50 per cent minimum deposit. 

UK RECALL #1 - KIA - The brand volentarily recalls all 2014 and most of 2015's Souls and EV Souls for steering issues.

• Fault on current generation Kia Soul steering gear assembly leads Kia to voluntarily issue a precautionary recall
• All affected vehicles will be repaired at no expense to owners

Kia Motors UK Ltd is voluntarily recalling all Soul and Soul EV vehicles produced between 18 January 2014 and 30 September 2015, as a precautionary measure. This is due to a potential fault which, in extreme circumstances, could cause the steering to fail.

Through ongoing monitoring of field data, Kia Motors has determined that an adhesive with insufficient bonding strength was used during assembly, this may cause a pinion plug that secures the pinion gear to the steering gear assembly to loosen. If the plug loosens sufficiently, the pinion gear may separate from the steering gear assembly, which could cause a loss of steering.

The number of UK Soul and Soul EV vehicles affected stands at 5,707. All these vehicles will be repaired at no expense to the owner, this process will begin immediately. Kia Motors UK will notify owners via post and email, suggesting they take their vehicle to their nearest Kia dealership where the pinion plug will be secured or replaced, ordinarily within one hour.

At present there is no evidence of this potential defect causing any injuries or accidents to any customers in the UK or globally, there have also been no reports or complaints of vehicle defects from any Kia Soul customers relating to this issue.

If any Kia Soul customers have questions at this stage they are encouraged to liaise with our customer service team, contactable via telephone (0333 202 2990).
