The awards will be presented at the Paris Motor Show on Automotive Designers' Night on 27 September.
The new Kia cee'd (pictured above), launched in June 2012, won the exterior category and also received an honorary special mention for exceptional innovation in the interior category.
The high profile jury selected the Kia GT (pictured left) as the winner of the concept award. This rear-wheel drive sports saloon concept made its world premier in September 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It offers a glimpse into Kia's future design philosophy and was one of the cars we liked best at the show.The Automotive Brand Contest, held for the first time last year, has become an internationally recognised competition. It's open to car makers, automotive parts suppliers and companies delivering design and brand communications services to the automotive industry.
