Kia Motors America (KMA) today reported March sales of 49,125 units on the heels of the world debut of three stylish and technology-laden new vehicles last week at the New York International Auto Show. March sales contributed to KMA’s second-best first quarter sales in company history. The U.S.-built* Optima midsize sedan led sales for the 16th consecutive month with 14,366 units sold, while the Sorento CUV also built in West Point, Georgia*, and the Soul urban passenger vehicle also posted strong sales.
Kia is set to deliver seven all-new or significantly redesigned vehicles this calendar year, including the all-new 2014 Sorento, which arrived in dealerships in February and the all-new 2014 Forte compact sedan, scheduled to arrive in dealerships in April.
The all-new 2014 Soul and 2014 Forte Koup, and the updated 2014 Optima – all introduced in New York – are scheduled to arrive in late-summer/early-fall. With the 2014 Forte sedan going on sale soon, the next addition to the Kia lineup will be the 2014 Cadenza, the most powerful and technologically-advanced vehicle Kia has introduced in the U.S. market to date.
