Trio of Kia models named among finalists in 2023 World Car Awards

Niro, #niroev, and #ev6gt Are Top Contenders Across Three Categories

Three Kia models have been named among the finalists across three categories in the 2023 #worldcarawards. The #kianiro is among the list of finalists for 2023 World Car of the Year, while its electrified variant, the #niroev, is a finalist for the 2023 World Electric Vehicle category. And with a hair-raising 567 horsepower on tap, the #ev6gt is a finalist in the 2023 World Performance Car category.  

“We are honored to receive these nominations from the highly regarded panel of #worldcarawards jurors,” said #stevencenter, COO & EVP, Kia America. “With all three finalists powered by electrification, our commitment and dedication to our “Plan S” strategy is even more apparent as our hybrids, PHEVs and EVs continue to gain acclaim.”  

Now in its 19th year, the #worldcarawards is an annual journey that follows 100 international jurors from 32 countries as they test-drive and vote on a field of eligible vehicles.

"The awards were inaugurated in 2003, and officially launched in January 2004, to reflect the reality of the global marketplace, as well as to recognize, reward and inspire excellence, leadership and innovation in a rapidly changing #automotive industry," said #jensmeiners, chair, 2023 #worldcarawards

The winners will be announced live at an awards ceremony at the 2023 #newyorkinternationalautoshow on April 5, 2023.
