Kia Motors America ends 2020 strong despite the pandemic

Kia Motors America sold 53,764 units in December 2020, 4.9% up over the same period last year, despite the unprecedented times and year-to-date Kia sales in the U.S. totaled 586,105 units.

Ending the year strong are Kia Telluride SUV and Niro EV, which posted its best-ever annual sales, according to PR Newswire.

Notably, the all-new K5 midsize sedan sales has been increasing for four months in a row after its launch.

"In the face of the pandemic, Kia saw substantial growth this past year, outpacing the industry by a significant margin on our way to a historic retail sales performance by our dealer network," Bill Peffer, chief operating officer & executive vice president, Kia Motors America, said. "Telluride continued to capture consumer attention and our network of dealer partners kept consumers interested in the brand and propelled Kia's sales growth. With five all-new or significant redesigned vehicles set for introduction this year, Kia will continue delivering world-class products that demand increased levels of consideration from our current and potential new customers."
