UK: Kia Soul wins at Towcar of the Year Awards

Entrants to Towcar of the Year awards are tested at Millbrook Proving Ground by a number of specialist motoring judges. Evaluations cover the towing ability, acceleration, braking and capability with demanding hill starts.

Then, a team of caravan specialist judges take to the controls and assess the vehicles' suitability in everyday caravanning situations.

The judges said of the Kia Soul: "The Soul Shaker gives a spirited performance, has a usable bodyshape and promises low running costs', adding that 'As a towcar for small caravans or trailer tents, Kia's hatchback is a worthy winner."

Kia Motors (UK) Ltd. Managing Director, Michael Cole, said of the award: "Kia Motors has great history in the Towcar Awards, with Sorento having taken a number of category wins over the years. But now Kia Soul has provided towing fans with something stylish and capable to tow with. We're pleased that Soul could take up the mantle and move forwards in such style."
