Wessex Garages has opened its new Kia dealership on Penarth Road in Cardiff.

The expansion of its dealership network has created 20 new jobs and will see the dealership’s brands (Kia, Fiat and Abarth) display 200 new and used cars on site.

The investment into the Cardiff-based site has totalled £1.5 million.

The new 600 square foot showroom features an internet café area with wifi and refreshment facilities.

Keith Brock, Wessex Kia managing director, said: “We’ve been monitoring Kia’s recent growth within our Bristol, Gloucester and Newport branches and are delighted to have the opportunity to represent the franchise in the Cardiff area.”

Wessex Kia will provide new and used cars as well as aftersales, accident repair, MoT and parts services.
