A Kendal car retailer is celebrating after its small SUV won a global award for its design.

Lloyd Motors South Lakes, on Bridge End Garage, was left delighted when the Volvo EX30 was crowned the winner in the Most Revolutionary Transport category at this year’s Wallpaper* Smart Space Awards.

The fully electric small SUV was praised by judges as "a fantastic piece of design" and was noted for its driving quality and sustainable materials.

The Wallpaper* Smart Space Awards honour objects, accessories, services, and tools that blend beauty, design, innovation, and style.

The Most Revolutionary Transport category focuses on new technologies, services, and products that provide timely, innovative, or convenient ways to travel.

The Volvo EX30 has now won more than 10 major awards, including Car of the Year from The Sun, Carwow, and Electrifying.com.

Mark Smith, of Lloyd Motors South Lakes, said: "It is amazing to see another win for the Volvo EX30, especially in this category where the judges have recognised a vehicle that truly pushes boundaries in every aspect, not least in being our most sustainable car yet.

"We welcome Kendal drivers to visit Lloyd Motors South Lakes to learn more about the EX30 and its many accolades, and to chat to our friendly team of experts."
