The Kia EV9 was voted winner of the ‘Readers’ Choice Award’ and the most highly anticipated new car of 2023. This trophy went to the car that earned the most votes by What Car? readers, who were asked to name the upcoming model they were most excited about from a 14-car shortlist. Each contender was given equal promotion via What Car?’s website and social media channels.

​

The Kia Sportage was named ‘Best Family SUV’ by What Car? magazine’s judging panel, ahead of all other rivals in the most popular and hotly contested vehicle segment in the UK.

The judging panel for the awards, made up of the magazine’s team of expert road testers, commented on the Sportage’s award: “We've group tested the Kia Sportage extensively in various guises over the last 12 months, and it's emerged victorious every time. But when you consider its competitive pricing, all of the equipment that you get as standard and how complete a car the Sportage is, it’s easy to see why. It strikes a near-perfect balance between agility and comfort, which gets it off to a great start against any rival. Meanwhile the interior neatly blends practicality with style.”
