Kia EV6 Secures Top Honours For Families And Dog Owners At Auto Trader Awards 2024
The Kia EV6 has once again proven its appeal, securing the titles of ‘Best Car for Families’ and ‘Best Car for Dog Owners’ at the Auto Trader New Car Awards 2024. Unlike other car awards, these accolades are determined by the opinions of car owners, with over 200,000 UK participants sharing their real-world experiences.
Launched in 2021, the EV6 was the first model to feature Kia’s new badge following a significant rebranding. Despite being more than three years old, it continues to receive accolades from various UK, European, and global publications. The EV6 offers a real-world range of up to 328 miles on a single charge, space for five passengers, ultra-fast charging capabilities, and multiple trim levels.
Erin Baker, Auto Trader’s Editorial Director, highlighted the EV6’s double-award win: "When it comes to the best car for families and dog owners, the Kia EV6 comes out on top with owners loving its effortless combination of practicality, technology, head-turning looks and a great driving experience."
One owner commented: "It is so easy and enjoyable to drive. The car is very comfortable with everything you need easily accessible." Another noted the "smoothness of driving experience and amazing interior space for passengers including four-legged friends."
Last year’s Auto Trader New Car Awards also saw Kia’s electric vehicles (EVs) achieve similar success. The Soul EV was named ‘Best Value Electric Car,’ while the EV6 won Auto Trader’s ‘New Car of the Year’ award. This sets a positive tone for Kia’s range of EVs in the UK.
As part of its ‘Plan S’ strategy, Kia aims to launch 15 EVs globally by 2027, with nine models coming to the UK. Following the EV6 and last year’s EV9, the EV3 is expected to arrive in the UK later this year.
