A new Kia dealership in Surrey will open on January 1 2008.

Lovekyn Kia in Ewell will be incorporated into an existing Citroen dealership which has been providing Kia aftersales and used sales service since October.

Under new ownership, the site is owned and led by Andrew Shelley, who has 14 years automotive retailing experience.

The dealership will stock all Kia car models including the Picanto and Sportage and the cee’d range.

Shelley said: “The Kia portfolio is a strong and exciting addition to our group that will see us able to offer customers an even greater freedom to decide which car is right for them.

“The Kia brand is going from strength to strength, launching some great new models and has established a reputation for delivering quality, performance and value to its customers, and we at Lovekyn are delighted to be part of that.”
