Carmaker Kia is attempting to give drivers peace of mind with a new seven-year warranty scheme.

The company is now offering the protection on all of its models, whereas the offer had only previously been available on the firm’s European-built vehicles.

According to the group, motorists now expect safety, reliability and an enjoyable motoring experience from their cars and are no longer satisfied with simply making it from A to B.

Michael Cole, managing director of Kia Motors in the UK, commented: "The warranty covers every vehicle in our line-up for up to seven years – and no-one in the business can boast that.

"Even better, the warranty is transferable to subsequent owners bringing a big boost for used values."

In other automotive maintenance news, research carried out by Motor Codes earlier this month showed that 14 million people have been unhappy with the amount garages have charged them for work on their vehicles.
