Kia America Ignites the Market: Unprecedented Sales Records Shattered in Q3 and Year-to-Date!

IRVINE, Calif. – Kia America is revving up for an exhilarating close to the year, having officially announced its most successful third quarter and highest year-to-date sales figures in the company's illustrious history. This monumental achievement underscores the brand’s robust growth, surging customer demand, and the compelling appeal of its diverse and innovative vehicle lineup.

The third quarter of 2023 saw Kia America deliver an astonishing 210,341 units, marking a spectacular 18.2 percent increase over the same period last year.

This remarkable surge wasn't an isolated incident; it capped off a record-breaking nine months where Kia sold a staggering 628,686 vehicles, an impressive 15.3 percent rise compared to the previous year. These figures aren't just numbers; they represent a powerful statement of market dominance and growing consumer trust.

At the heart of this unparalleled success are Kia's star performers.

The award-winning Sportage SUV continued its incredible momentum, achieving its best-ever third quarter and highest year-to-date sales. Its blend of sophisticated design, advanced technology, and versatile performance has clearly resonated with buyers. Not far behind, the rugged yet refined Sorento and the family-friendly Carnival MPV also posted impressive Q3 sales, contributing significantly to the overall triumph.

Kia's commitment to electrification is also paying dividends.

The acclaimed EV6, a cornerstone of Kia’s 'Plan S' strategy, maintained its strong sales trajectory, further solidifying Kia’s position as a leader in the electric vehicle segment. The flagship Telluride SUV, renowned for its premium features and commanding presence, continued its consistent strong demand, proving its enduring popularity among discerning consumers.

“This historic quarter and year-to-date performance are a testament to the unwavering dedication of our entire team, our exceptional dealer network, and most importantly, the trust and loyalty of our customers,” said Steven Center, COO & EVP, Kia America.

“Our diverse portfolio, from the adventure-ready Sportage to the innovative EV6, is clearly hitting the mark, delivering the quality, design, and technology that today’s buyers demand. We are incredibly proud of this achievement and remain focused on sustaining this momentum as we look towards an even brighter future.”

The continued optimization of Kia’s supply chain has played a crucial role in enabling the brand to meet the escalating demand for its vehicles.

With an enhanced inventory and a relentless focus on customer satisfaction, Kia America is perfectly positioned to capitalize on its current success and continue its upward trajectory. As the automotive landscape evolves, Kia remains at the forefront, driving innovation and setting new benchmarks for excellence.
