Citygate Automotive is expanding its footprint in Watford, Hertfordshire, with the opening of the town’s first Kia dealership.

The Chalk Hill, Bushey, dealership has undergone a complete transformation over the past six months and now features a state-of-the-art showroom and service centre dedicated to Kia.

This latest addition complements Citygate's existing Kia dealerships in Slough and High Wycombe.

Kia has ambitious plans to introduce 15 electric vehicle (EV) models by 2027 as part of its commitment to environmental sustainability.

Jonathan Smith, CEO of Citygate, said: "We are absolutely delighted to further extend our presence in Watford by bringing this incredible brand to the town for the first time.

“Kia’s innovative line-up of models provides an excellent choice to Watford motorists, and we look forward to welcoming new and existing customers to our brand new Kia showroom. This significant investment signifies our intent to grow our business in the local area in the coming years.”

With the launch of the new Kia dealership, Citygate now operates 18 dealerships across London and the Home Counties, representing a variety of leading automotive brands, including Volkswagen, Škoda, SEAT, CUPRA, and GWM Ora.
