Kia Malta

Kia Motors Malta is where UK readers can look at the current Kia range for the island, from the small Picanto to the large electric EV9. The directory address is on Mdina Road in Qormi, in the centre of Malta. It is listed with other showrooms in our car dealerships in Malta directory.

Malta drives on the left, as in Britain, so a new car here will feel familiar to anyone moving from the UK.

The Kia range in Malta

The Malta site groups new cars by type: city, family, MPV, SUV and crossover, and prestige. The named models include the Picanto, Stonic, Niro, Sportage and Sorento, together with a growing electric line-up of the EV2, EV3, EV4, EV5, EV6 and EV9. The Niro and the EV9 were both being promoted on the home page. For work and family use there are two versions of the PV5, one Cargo and one Passenger.

A purchase guide and a hire purchase page explain how buying works, and all prices include fitting and VAT, so the figure you see is the figure you pay for the car as listed.

Choosing the right type of car

The way the range is sorted makes it easy to narrow things down. City models suit short hops and narrow village streets, family cars and MPVs give more space for luggage and children, and SUV and crossover models sit higher for rougher country lanes. Prestige models are a separate group on the site for buyers who want a more upmarket car, while the PV5 vans are aimed at carrying cargo or passengers.

Visitors who only need a car for a holiday are usually better served by a rental, but anyone staying for months or settling permanently may want to buy. Our introduction to Malta and the things to do in Malta round-up show how far a car can take you around the islands.

Buying, test drives and brochures

Buying a new car usually begins with a look at the brochure and a test drive. The Kia Malta site has dedicated buttons for both, as well as a find-your-dealer link and a contact page. If you are comparing electric and petrol versions, a test drive is the quickest way to learn which suits your day-to-day journeys, and it also lets you check the seating position and boot space for your own family and luggage before you commit to a particular model.

Hire purchase is offered as a way to spread the cost, and details sit on the finance page of the Kia Malta site. If you are moving to the island for work, our Malta relocation guide and Malta tax guide for UK nationals help you plan the rest of the budget.

Service, accessories and mobility

After the purchase, the site points to a service overview and a service care section, along with accessories, a mobility range and information on the values and benefits of owning a Kia. Kia also publishes rescue sheets, which give emergency responders the information they need about a particular model.

Because Malta is hot for much of the year, air conditioning and tyre care matter as much here as anywhere. Our Malta weather guide shows what each season brings, and the service pages are the place to ask about care for your own car.

Planning a visit and getting started

Qormi lies between the capital and the middle of the island, and from there the walled city in our Mdina guide and the capital in the Valletta guide are both a short drive away. If you are coming from the UK for a viewing, check flights to Malta and the page on where to stay in Malta.
