KIA MOTORS AMERICA ANNOUNCES JUNE SALES

Light Truck Sales Up 9.5-Percent Year-Over-Year On A Selling Date Adjusted Basis; Retail-Only Sales Nearly Equivalent to June 2019 Despite Shortage of Key Products

IRVINE, Calif., July 1, 2020 – Kia Motors America’s June sales total of 47,870 vehicles featured retail-only sales within one percent of the June 2019 mark despite a shortage of the award-winning Telluride SUV and other select models. In the month that saw Kia rank number one in the industry in J.D. Power’s Initial Quality Study, the Sorento SUV led the way while the Sportage SUV delivered its best-ever retail performance in June.

“Despite the pandemic, demand for Kia’s world-class offerings such as the Telluride remains extraordinarily high. In fact, on a selling day adjusted basis, Kia’s retail sales were up nearly 6-percent year-over-year,” said Bill Peffer, vice president, sales operations, Kia Motors America. “Kia has once again topped the industry in initial quality and we are ready to begin the next chapter of our product story with the arrival of the all-new 2021 K5, which has been very well received by the media thus far, and consumers are already reaching out for details on future availability.”
