Lookers has relaunched its Kia dealership in Chester following a major £1.8 million transformation.

The redevelopment, which got under way in March, included a full internal refit as well as a new indoor handover bay and exterior integrated valet bay.

Lookers said its Sealand Road site now represents a powerful showcase of Kia’s expanding range of electric and hybrid models and will also incorporate a wide selection of quality used cars.

Incorporating the latest Kia brand concept, the transformed site features four new rapid electric vehicle charge points, as well as a stylish and comfortable customer zone, a service reception and seven-car capacity showroom.

Scott Innes, general manager at Lookers Kia Chester, said: “We’re incredibly excited to be able to share our state-of-the-art facility with Lookers’ customers, which gives us the perfect platform to showcase Kia’s award-winning range of vehicles in world-class surroundings.

“Such a significant investment from Lookers in this upgrade at our Chester dealership reflects our ongoing commitment to working with Kia, with whom we have a long-standing and successful relationship. We look forward to sharing this exciting retail experience with our customers.” 

The dealership has already held a launch event for the new fully electric SUV Kia EV9, set to be the flagship for the company’s electric line-up.
