Kia Motors UK is preparing to set out on a five-stop fleet roadshow to showcase its models across England and Scotland this October to November.

Potential clients and fleet customers will have an opportunity to test drive the new Kia XCeed as part of the event which will also showcase the Niro alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) and Ceed range to potential customers of the Korean brand's UK dealer network.

John Hargreaves, general manager of fleet and remarketing at Kia Motors UK, said: “We are very much looking forward to our upcoming Fleet Roadshow as it will be a fantastic chance for us to liaise with fleet businesses, while simultaneously providing them with the invaluable expertise of our product experts.

A wide range of Kia models will be available on its roadshow

“There is a wide range of Kia models on offer this year, particularly with the launch of the All-New Kia XCeed, which is sure to be a hit with businesses.”

The Kia fleet roadshow will take place at the following locations:

  • October 4, Prestwold Hall, Loughborough
  • October 11, at Ellenborough Park, Cheltenham
  • October 18, Beaverbrook Hotel, Leatherhead
  • October 25, Oddfellows on the Park, Cheadle
  • November 1, at Crossbasket Castle, Glasgow

Kia product experts will visit those that are unable to visit the roadshow. Presentations, expert advice and the chance to test drive the models, will all be available to fleet businesses.

The show will be running for just under a month from October 4 until November 1.

Its vehicles will be visiting five star venues, where VIP events for key local businesses will also take place.

The soon-to-be launched XCeed has been dubbed the “crossover utility vehicle”. It completes the Kia Ceed family following the launch of the ProCeed shooting brake earlier this year.

The brand has said that the new model represents a sporty alternative to traditional larger SUVs, like Kia’s Sportage.
