Two Million Vehicles Produced At KMMG
The two millionth vehicle to be produced at the Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia, Inc. (KMMG) has officially rolled off the assembly line. This plant first opened its doors on November 16, 2006 in West Point, Georgia, and in the six years since then this plant has had a large impact for both Kia sales in the U.S. and for the local community surrounding the plant. The creation of this plant led to over 15,000 jobs in the West Point, GA area thus boosting employment and the local economy. For Kia, this plant is now responsible for more than 40 percent of the Kia vehicles that are sold annually throughout the U.S.
“Assembling two million vehicles in less than seven years is a remarkable achievement, and one that each of our team members can take a lot of pride in,” said KMMG President and CEO Hyun-Jong Shin. “The world-class quality that goes into every Sorento CUV and Optima midsize sedan we build is a direct result of the hard work and commitment of our team members, and today we salute their commitment to excellence.”
Along with this impressive production achievement, KMMG is also celebrating its highest-ever ranking in the J.D. Power’ Initial Quality Study. In the most recently released study they placed in the top five amongst vehicle assembly plants.

Kia Sedona is a Must Test Drive
Autotrader released their list of Must Test Drive Vehicles for 2016 last week during the New York International Auto Show, which included the 2016 Kia Sedona. To prepare for this list, Autotrader editors test out the latest cars, trucks, and SUVs and use a specific criteria to determine the cars that shoppers should test drive before choosing a car to purchase. Cars must be under $75,000 and score a four or better in each category including, ride quality, cargo capacity, included/available technology, and interior and exterior quality.
“Even though the Kia Sedona is an ultra-functional minivan, it manages to be quite stylish as well, and to our eyes, it’s the best looking minivan available,” said Brian Moody, executive editor of AutoTrader. “The interior textures and available colors are excellent and that is backed up with a quiet comfortable ride that feels more like a luxury sedan than a family wagon. All of our editors love the reclining second-row seats found in the SXL, and other high points that led us to our ‘unexpectedly good’ conclusion include a huge sunroof over the middle and third row seats plus tons of storage bins that make traveling with a family just a little easier. Useful, stylish, affordable and packed with thoughtful features at every trim level, the Kia Sedona is simply an excellent family car no matter what else you’re considering.”
