Kia Motors America Ends 2015 with Record Sales

Jan 11, 2016

Kia Motors America has had another incredible year thanks to a strong 8 month streak of sales records to finish out the year and set an all-time best annual sales record of 625,818 vehicles. This was a 7.9 percent increase year-over-year, with much of its success thanks to the record setting December when Kia sold 54,241 vehicles and crossed over the 600,000 mark for the first time ever.

Throughout the record year Kia saw great things happen. The Optima saw record sales with 159,414 units sold and Soul sales saw increases for the sixth year in a row. Sedona sales also saw an increase of 150 percent and the Forte family of cars had its best year for sales ever. With many other accomplishments, it’s no wonder Kia had such a great year.

“Even without the benefit of a truck in our lineup, Kia began 2015 as one of Yahoo!’s ‘hottest brands’ and it only got better from there as we outperformed the record-setting industry and posted big gains in several passenger car and CUV segments,” said Michael Sprague, chief operating officer and EVP, KMA. “The new Kia is a recognized leader in design, quality, advanced technology and value, and with three all-new products scheduled to launch in 2016, we will continue challenging everything people think they know about this brand and our world-class products.”
