Llandudno Kia

Llandudno Kia, an authorised Kia franchise on Argyll Road

Llandudno Kia operates as an authorised Kia franchise retailer in Llandudno, Conwy, and forms part of North Wales Motor Co Ltd. The business presents itself as a family-run operation and states that it was established in 2020, since when it describes itself as having become an integral part of the North Wales community. Its site on Argyll Road places it close to a retail park and within a few minutes' walk of Venue Cymru.

The dealership covers both new and used car sales alongside aftersales work. Its stated activity spans new Kia models, Approved Used cars and ex-demonstrators, Motability, business and fleet supply, servicing and MOT testing, and parts and accessories.

New Kia models and powertrain range

The new car catalogue is organised by family, body style and powertrain. Models named on the site include the Picanto, Stonic, K4, XCeed, Niro, Sportage and Sorento, together with the electric line-up comprising the EV2, EV3, EV4, EV5, EV6, EV6 GT, EV9 and EV9 GT. The range is grouped into compact, mid-sized, five-seat and seven-seat families, and into hatchback, saloon, estate, SUV and 4x4 and crossover categories.

On powertrains, the dealership states that it sells self-charging hybrids, plug-in hybrids, electric, petrol and diesel cars. The same breadth is reflected in the used search filters, which allow selection by make, model, colour, fuel type, body type, transmission, price band and mileage.

Used cars and pre-handover preparation

As an authorised franchise retailer, Llandudno Kia offers a selection of Approved Used cars and ex-demonstrators. The used vehicle search on the site covers its own stock as well as other makes, with filters listing Audi, Honda, Kia, Lexus, MINI, Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo among the marques handled. At the time of writing this profile, the search indicated 72 used cars in total and 49 Approved Used Kia cars.

The company states that all vehicles sold are carefully selected and checked before hand-over, and that the majority of cars sold include a minimum 12-month guarantee and a choice of service plans. It also invites owners to sell their car to the business.

Showroom, workshop and customer facilities

A new showroom opened in 2024, described as offering complimentary refreshments, sweet treats and free Wi-Fi. The same site houses a workshop fitted with service equipment intended to handle current vehicle technologies. Customers visiting for parts, a service or a vehicle purchase are invited to combine the trip with a day out in Llandudno.

The dealership also states that it can provide the latest Kia models as a complimentary courtesy car or for an extended test drive for those travelling further afield.

Finance, Motability and business supply

Finance is arranged through introduction to a selected panel of lenders. The company explains that, unless personal circumstances make it inappropriate, new vehicles are first introduced to Kia Finance, with other panel lenders used where Kia Finance cannot make an offer or the vehicle falls outside its usual remit. It notes that lenders may pay commission calculated by reference to the vehicle model or the amount borrowed, that different lenders may pay different commissions, and that some lenders provide preferential funding rates for stock and support for training and marketing. It states that these amounts do not affect what the customer pays under the finance agreement, which is set by the lender.

Beyond retail sales, the business lists Motability and fleet and business supply among its services, with dedicated contact addresses for sales, service, parts and fleet enquiries.

Customer feedback

The site reproduces customer reviews that highlight named staff members and describe experiences of buying new and used cars, including part-exchange arrangements and handover explanations of vehicle controls. Individual comments also refer to a sales launch presentation for the EV6. These are personal accounts rather than an aggregate rating.
