Kia Achieves Record Breaking Sales For December & 2016

Last year was an incredibly successful and rewarding one for Kia Motors America. Throughout 2016, the brand was the recipient of more third-party awards than ever before with high praises for reliability and quality. In addition to the high amount of recognition, the brand also achieved its best annual sales record ever with total sales in 2016 reaching 647,598 units which is 3.5 percent higher than 2015. The brand even had four of their vehicles (Soul, Optima, Sorento and Forte) each achieved annual sales of more than 100,000 units each for the first time ever. They really did end on a high note with their best-ever fourth quarter sales and best-ever December sales with 54,353 units sold for the month.

“From J.D. Power and Consumer Reports to many other respected third-party experts, Kia has never been more highly rated for quality and dependability, and customers flocked to our showrooms in December and throughout 2016 to experience all that the ‘New Kia’ offers,” said Michael Sprague, chief operating officer and EVP, KMA. “No auto brand has experienced greater growth in the U.S. over the last 20-plus years, and Kia will be on the offensive once again in 2017 with several new products in the pipeline that will continue challenging everything people think they know about this brand, starting with a major world debut next week in Detroit.”

• Sales of the Cadenza came to 428 units
