More motorists in the UK may require Kia car parts in the future, if the manufacturer’s comments are anything to go by.

The company claimed the popularity of the brand continues to grow, with some 1,000 Soul models sold within 100 days of it arriving in showrooms up and down the country.

Managing director Paul Philpott said the success of the vehicle, despite the economic downturn, reflects its quality and value.

He stated: "The design is fresh and exciting and it is bringing new customers to our brand for the first time – it really is a Kia that turns heads."

The most popular version of the model so far has been the Soul 2 – accounting for approximately 50 per cent of overall sales.

According to the manufacturer, the vehicle has "global" appeal.

People who have already been convinced of the quality offered by Kia models may find they can keep motors running at their best for years to come by making sure they replace any worn car parts as soon as possible.
