Kia Takes Home Three 2018 iF Design Awards

February 9, 2018 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

Kia Motors has really been upping their game recently, with some truly fantastic design work on show.  It should therefore come as no surprise that the brand has won three 2018 iF Design Awards.  The all-new Kia Stinger gran turismo, Stonic compact crossover and Picanto city car were each awarded prizes in the ‘Product Design’ category.

2018 is actually the second year that Kia has won three awards, with 2018 being the ninth year of Kia taking an award from the organisation.  This latest hat-trick of accolades brings the manufacturer’s total number of iF Design prizes to 15.

The Stinger, designed at Kia’s European design centre in Frankfurt, Germany, marries classic gran turismo design with a spacious and luxurious interior. Taking inspiration from the grand tourers of the 1970s, the Stinger features elegant fastback proportions and a muscular ‘coke bottle’ shape down its flanks, highlighting its rear-wheel biased power delivery.

Also designed in Frankfurt, the Stonic, Kia’s debut compact crossover, offers a striking and bold exterior design, combined with an elevated seating position and practical SUV format. It is the most colourful Kia ever made, offering buyers a wide choice of two-tone paint combinations and interior colours.

The third-generation of the Kia Picanto – Kia’s smallest European car – brings a youthful and energetic character to the A-segment. It boasts a distinctive new design and a high-quality and high-tech cabin. Despite its compact dimensions, the Picanto’s intelligent design makes it one of the most spacious cars in its class.
