KIA MOTORS AMERICA ANNOUNCES APRIL SALES

  • Best-Ever April Sales for the Sportage CUV

IRVINE, Calif., May 1, 2018 – Kia Motors America today announced April sales of 50,585 vehicles, led by the Forte family of compact cars and Sorento SUV. The month also saw the highest April sales total in company history for the Sportage CUV at 7,653 units, and a 34.2-percent year-over-year increase for the Rio subcompacts.

“In addition to best-ever April sales for Sportage and big gains for Rio and Sportage, Stinger reached an important milestone by surpassing the 5,000 units sold mark,” said Bill Peffer, vice president, sales operations, Kia Motors America. “We continue to emphasize retail sales over fleet and with our ‘America’s Best Value’ summer sales event rolling out, the refreshed 2019 Sorento now in showrooms, and the all-new Forte model on the horizon, we will continue to generate momentum throughout the summer sales period.”
