Kia Motors America continues to move upward despite the challenging times as it performed its best September retails sales and best quarterly retails sales represented by its 55,519 vehicles sold.
September also marked a year-over-year 35.3% retail sales gain for Kia, according to PR Newswire.
The strong performance was again led by the Telluride, proving that it is Kia's fastest turning model in company history with an all-time monthly sales record of 8,829 units.
The Sportage SUV has also demonstrated its best-ever September sales with 7,165 vehicles sold.
Seltos, which sold 5,314 in August, had 5,613 units sold in September.
The all-new K5 midsize sedan joins the list of September highlights with 5,763 units sold, posting its highest monthly sales performance.
"Our strong September sales performance was led by record setting sales of three of our popular and capable SUVs, Telluride, Sportage and Seltos, and also marked the brand's best-ever quarterly sales total in our 25-year history in the U.S.," Bill Peffer, vice president, sales operations, Kia Motors America, said. "With the recent introduction of the all-new 2021 Sorento SUV and the ongoing popularity of the all-new K5 midsize sedan, Kia enters the fourth quarter with the most robust model lineup ever. Even despite the ongoing pandemic, Kia's momentum remains strong as we have outperformed the industry yet again. We're confident this upward trajectory will continue."
