After
posting the best first-half performance in company history, Kia Motors America’s (KMA) momentum
continued with record third quarter sales, including 40,628 units in September,
up 6.9-percent over the same period last year.
As Kia celebrates its
20th anniversary in the U.S., the fast-moving brand continues to grow and
mature with year-to-date sales up 6.9 percent and its aggressive new product
cadence continues with two important new products – the all-new 2015 Sedona and
the company’s first all-electric, zero-emissions vehicle in the U.S., the Soul
EV – now beginning to arrive in dealerships.
“September
capped off the strongest summer selling season for Kia in its 20-year history, and
with the launch of two all-new vehicles now underway, we continue to introduce
the brand and our outstanding products to new customers who turn to Kia for our
world-class quality and design, advanced technology and tremendous value,” said
Michael Sprague, executive vice president of sales and marketing, KMA.
