KIA E-NIRO NAMED ‘BEST EV SMALL SUV’, AT THE FLEET WORLD GREAT BRITISH FLEET AWARDS

Kia e-Niro Named 'Best EV Small SUV

  • Kia e-Niro wins the ‘Best EV Small SUV’ award at the Fleet World GBFA
  • e-Niro is available with two battery variants, 64kWh and 39kWh to cater to various fleet needs
  • The e-Niro is capable of a range of up to 282-miles from a single charge

The Kia e-Niro has added yet another award to its already impressive portfolio, winning ‘Best EV Small SUV’ at the third-annual Fleet World Great British Fleet Awards.

The awards are run by industry-renowned publication Fleet World and centre on the best cars available for fleets today, including a sub-section for electric cars under the EV Fleet World banner. The expert panel of judges concluded that the e-Niro’s impressive range of up to 282-miles, practical and well-equipped interior make it the ideal choice for businesses looking to go electric.

Martyn Collins, Editor of Fleet World, commented: “The e-Niro might not be the newest model in its class, but recent tweaks have kept the SUV shape looking fresh. The reason it is still top of our ‘EV Small SUV’ pile is that this model offers a scarcely believable 282-mile real-world range. A tidy drive too, the Kia is confident and competent on the road. Plus, the e-Niro interior is impressively practical, spacious and well-equipped.”

The award follows the e-Niro topping the UK EV sales charts for the first two months of 2021, with some 75 per cent going to fleets in February alone.

Featuring a lengthy standard equipment list including a 10.25-inch touchscreen with satellite navigation and telematics featuring UVO Connect Services, as well as a battery heat management system for efficiency and a choice of two battery sizes – 64kWh and 39kWh – there are plenty of reasons why the e-Niro has found favour with fleet customers. Furthermore, Kia recently launched KiaCharge to offer drivers of its plug-in car range with access to more than 15,000 charge points across the UK from one simple-to-use app.
