Meanwhile, fellow Korean carmaker Kia scooped the Carbuyer Buyer’s Award prize for its standard seven-year warranty, which is celebrating its seventh year in 2014.

There was also success for BMW, which was came out on top in three categories.

The 3 Series was named the Best Executive Car for 2014, while the larger 5 Series took the prize for Best Large Executive Car. And the BMW i3 came out on top in the Best Hybrid/ Electric Car category.

Ford’s sales success in 2013 was reflected with the Ford Fiesta being awarded the Best Small Car title and the Fiesta ST came away with the Best Hot Hatch award.
