Drivers across the region have plenty to celebrate following the official opening of Murray Kia Plymouth, a brand-new, state-of-the-art showroom on Brixton Road.
The launch marks a milestone for the Murray Group, combining modern design with the warmth of a family-run business to create a truly customer-focused motoring experience.
The redevelopment of the former Rodgers of Plymouth site in Brixton – a familiar part of the city’s motoring landscape since the 1990s – has transformed it into a contemporary Kia showroom, complete with open-plan layouts, lounge-style waiting areas, refreshment facilities, interactive digital displays, vehicle configurators, and EV education points.
Every detail is designed to make visitors feel at home while exploring Kia’s latest models.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony on November 3, attended by senior Kia UK representatives, officially marked the start of a new chapter for the dealership.
Guests and local residents were invited to tour the new facilities, enjoy refreshments, and take advantage of exclusive opening offers.
The celebrations continue with a Drive-In Cinema Night on Saturday, December 6, offering families and local residents a fun, relaxed evening to enjoy the new space and meet the Murray team.
A major step forward
Kevin Murray, Managing Director at Murray Group, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to open our new Kia showroom and to showcase Kia’s exciting new product range in an environment that truly does it justice.
“This new facility brings our sales and after-sales operations together under one roof, making the whole experience far more convenient for our customers.
“Our staff have also benefited from a huge upgrade – with modern break areas, comfortable lunch spaces and even showers for those who cycle to work.
“The site now offers more customer parking, a larger used-car display, and an outstanding choice of up to 100 quality used cars on site.
“It’s certainly a major step forward for both our customers and our team.”
A car for every journey
The showroom showcases Kia’s full range, appealing to drivers across all stages of life.
Families and professionals seeking safety, comfort, and versatility can explore the New Shape Kia Sportage, perfect for school runs, weekend trips, and daily commuting.
Eco-conscious drivers can take a closer look at Kia’s all-electric EV3 and EV9 SUVs, while younger commuters and first-time buyers will find the Kia Picanto offers affordability, efficiency, and city-ready style.
For existing Kia owners, the dealership’s long-standing reputation for transparency and care ensures expert guidance is available at every step, from selecting a vehicle and arranging finance to understanding electric vehicle technology and aftersales servicing.
Expertise meets personal service
Murray Group’s success is built on family values, professional standards, and genuine local care.
From a single family-run dealership in Newton Abbot, the business has grown into one of the South West’s most respected automotive groups, now operating six sites across Devon and representing Volkswagen, Škoda, Hyundai, Kia and Kia PBV.
Staffed by a dedicated team, many familiar to long-standing customers, the dealership combines global brand professionalism with the personal touch of a family-run business.
More than just a showroom
At its heart, Murray Kia Plymouth is about community as well as cars.
Beyond vehicle sales, the site offers EV education points, interactive displays, and lounge-style areas, creating a welcoming environment for families, professionals, and retirees alike.
Apprenticeships, local employment opportunities, and events like the Drive-In Cinema Night demonstrate the showroom’s commitment to connecting with and supporting the South West community.
Full lifecycle support
Murray Kia Plymouth is designed to guide customers through every stage of ownership.
From selecting the ideal vehicle and finance option to manufacturer-approved servicing and long-term aftersales care, the dealership makes modern motoring simple, stress-free, and tailored to individual lifestyles.
Whether it’s a young professional exploring their first new car, a family prioritising practicality and reliability, or a retired driver looking for advanced technology and everyday ease, Murray Kia Plymouth provides an environment where everyone can explore, learn, and drive away confident in their choices.
Pride, progress, and a road ahead
The Plymouth showroom redevelopment demonstrates Murray’s ongoing investment in people, facilities, and the local community.
Phase Two of the redevelopment on the opposite side of the road to the showroom, scheduled for 2026, will add new office facilities, a rebranded petrol station with upgraded pumps, and an extended SPAR shop.
This will further enhance convenience and cement the site as a leading automotive destination in Devon and Cornwall.
With state-of-the-art facilities, knowledgeable staff, and a full lifecycle of motoring support, Murray Kia Plymouth is driving the future of car ownership in the South West – proving that innovation, trust, and community can go hand in hand on every journey.
