Lookers Chester has opened a state-of-the-art Kia showroom as part of a major new investment.
It is the first time Lookers Chester has introduced the popular, award-winning Kia brand and its extensive range of new electric vehicles at its Chester forecourt, which has also introduced three new sales team roles at the Sealand Road site.
The new and distinctive high-spec Kia ‘red cube’ building has been carefully designed and constructed to provide an enlarged showroom space and a top-notch customer experience to accommodate the growing number of tech-leading Kia models.
All visitors are welcome to visit the new showroom in the confidence that Covid safety measures remain firmly in place.
