Kia takes home four wins at the annual What Car? Electric Car Awards 2026
What Car? has announced Kia as a four-time winner in the highly prestigious Electric Car Awards 2026. Kia won across a variety of categories including ‘Best Electric Family Car’, ‘Best Electric Small SUV’, ‘Best Electric MPV’ and ‘Best Used Electric Value Car’.
The What Car? Electric Car Awards recognise the very best electric vehicles on sale today, with winners selected across 19 categories. Each award is decided following careful assessment by What Car?’s expert panel of judges and experienced road testers, who evaluate every contender against the qualities that matter most to buyers.
Steve Huntingford, Editor, What Car? commented: “Back in 2019, a Kia became the first EV to be named What Car? Car of the Year. And the brand has built brilliantly on that initial success, as highlighted by its trophy count at our 2026 Electric Car Awards. Whether you’re looking for a practical family hatchback, a comfortable yet compact SUV, a hugely spacious MPV or a used bargain, there’s now an electric Kia that will perfectly suit your needs.”
Kia’s four wins at the What Car? Electric Car Awards 2026 demonstrate the quality and variety of its electrified line-up, from new family-focused EVs to practical MPVs and award-winning used models. The recognition highlights Kia’s growing reputation as a leading brand in electric mobility, offering customers a wide choice of efficient, innovative and accessible electrified vehicles.
