👀👀👀- Kia Sportage named What Car? Used Car of the Year!! 😍
-
What Car? has named the Kia Sportage the overall winner of its annual Used Car of the Year Awards. The Sportage is currently the UK’s third best-selling new car of 2026, with more than 38,000 registrations recorded this year so far, confirming its continued popularity with UK motorists.
What Car? launched its Used Car of the Year Awards in 2018 and has since helped guide many second-hand car buyers when choosing their next vehicle. With only 12 award categories available, this share of the awards for the Korean brand further demonstrates the customer focussed products offered, both used and new.
Across five generations, 31 years, 34 different specifications and more than half a million lifetime UK sales, the Kia Sportage has become a familiar presence on British roads and a trusted choice for families. Its enduring appeal, practicality and strong sales record have helped it earn recognition as both ‘Used Car of the Year’ and ‘Used Family SUV.’
Although this is the Kia Sportage’s first ‘Used Car of the Year’ title, it has been named What Car?’s ‘Family SUV of the Year’ for four consecutive years, in the publication’s annual Car of the Year Awards.
