Kia EV3 & EV9 Win Big at 2025 Business Car Awards

The Kia EV3 was named Best Compact SUV, while the flagship Kia EV9 retained its title as Best Premium Large SUV for a second consecutive year.

Held at the Hilton London Bankside, the awards celebrated the EV3 for its impressive blend of range, comfort, and standard equipment. Offering up to 375 miles on a single charge, the EV3 has also secured titles as UK Car of the Year 2025 and World Car of the Year 2025.

“Kia’s first dedicated compact EV is the definitive choice for fleets,” said Martyn Collins, Editor of Business Car. “It offers a segment-leading range, distinctive looks, a quality interior, and a composed ride.”

Meanwhile, the Kia EV9 was once again praised for its bold styling, practical seven-seat layout, and 800V ultra-fast charging. Starting from just over £65,000, the EV9 remains a benchmark in the premium electric SUV class.

“Despite strong new competition, the EV9 continues to impress,” added Collins. “It’s stylish, spacious, efficient, and excellent value compared to rivals.”

Since its UK debut in late 2023, the EV9 has collected several major honours, including UK Car of the Year 2024 and World Car of the Year 2024.

Dave Williams, Head of Fleet at Kia UK, commented:

“We’re thrilled to receive these latest awards. They reflect the strength of our products and our ongoing commitment to customer satisfaction.”
