Kia Brings A Little Glamour To UK Roads
Published: 5th July 2005
Need a little style boost? Well, forget those dowdy has-beens and pick up this season’s must have - the Kia Picanto Glamour. From just £6,995 with one year’s free insurance*, it’s the perfect excuse to go shopping.
The Picanto Glamour features everything needed to keep the style-conscious looking and sounding glamorous - air conditioning, alloys, body coloured bumpers, sporty looking mesh grille and a MP3 compatible CD audio player; and with five doors and five seats there’s plenty of space for bags of shopping.
For the first time, Kia Motors has paired up with a media partner to create a special edition co-branded vehicle. In this case, with Glamour magazine, the biggest selling women’s monthly in the UK and Europe.
Readers of Glamour magazine will have the chance to win a Picanto Glamour in a special eight page supplement in September’s edition as well as fantastic treats and deals in its National Glamour Week 2005.
Kia dealers around the country will be hosting their own Glamour Nights in August and will combine a night of pampering with practical motoring information.
Lawrence Hamilton, Kia Motors (UK) Ltd, General Manager of Marketing, said: "This is the first time both Kia and Glamour have done a vehicle co-promotion and right from the start we both felt that the Picanto embodies everything a Glamour reader is looking for in a product - style and function at a best value price."
