Kia Improves total October sales by 16%

London, November 01, 2024, (Oilandgaspress) –––Kia America achieved both its best-ever October sales, with 68,908 units sold, and best-ever October dealer sales. These records were driven by impressive growth and standout performances across its lineup of electrified vehicles and SUVs.

Sales of Kia’s all-electric (EV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and hybrid (HEV) vehicles increased by 70-percent, 65-percent, and 49-percent respectively compared to last year, which helped the brand achieve its highest-ever sales for electrified models in October. Additionally, SUV sales reached a record high for the month, accounting for 73-percent of total sales, illustrating the ongoing popularity of Kia’s SUV lineup.

Three Kia nameplates – Sportage, Carnival, EV6 – set new October sales records while four other Kia models – Sorento (+23-percent); Telluride (+14-percent); K5 (+12-percent) and Soul (+10-percent)– posted significant sales gains as compared to the same period last year.

“A number of Kia’s electrified models and SUVs realized double-digit sales increases, propelling Kia to our best October sales performance in company history,” said Eric Watson, vice president, sales operations, Kia America. “Kia continues to appeal to a broad range of consumers as we offer 10 compelling utility models many with a choice of all-electric, plug-in hybrid, hybrid and ICE powertrains. As the all-new K4 compact sedan and the first-ever Carnival Hybrid MPV are already generating significant foot traffic in Kia showrooms nationwide, we expect the positive growth to continue.”
