Kia Forte and Kia Stinger are Canada's Best Small Car and Best Large Car for 2019

Montreal, QC - January 17, 2019 - At a presentation today in Montreal, the Kia Forte has been named Best Small Car in Canada for 2019 and the Kia Stinger has been named Best Large Car in Canada for 2019, winning their respective categories as part of the judging for AJAC's Canadian Car of the Year and Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year and qualifying them both for the overall awards to be named in February.

Bringing home both mainstream car awards is a huge accomplishment for the brand and a testament to the award-winning design and quality investments that Kia has, and continues to put into its entire lineup of vehicles. For Canadians that have not yet considered a Kia, the awards are yet another reason to look at the brand with the 'Power to Surprise.' Both vehicles will be on display at this year's Canadian auto shows and are currently available in dealerships across the country.

"We're grateful to all of AJAC's voting journalists for recognizing the Forte and Stinger as the best cars in their categories" said Michael Kopke, Director of Marketing, Kia Canada. "Kia is focused on bringing safe, high-quality vehicles that look great and fit the lives of Canadians so it is a wonderful honour to see that so that many of Canada's top automotive experts believe that our cars are hitting the target above some great competition in the market."

Winning their respective categories also means that both the Kia Forte and Kia Stinger are two of five contenders for the AJAC Canadian Car of the Year award that will be presented at the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto on February 14.

"It's a great achievement for a vehicle to win one of AJAC's coveted Canadian Car of the Year awards, but it's exceptional for the same automaker to make two award-winning vehicles in the same year," said Mark Richardson, President, Automobile Journalists Association of Canada. "Congratulations to Kia for the well-deserved success of the Stinger and Forte."
