All-time best EV sales for Kia America in April
Highest EV9 sales to date leads to a 144-percent year-over-year increase in sales of Kia's fully electric vehicles
- • The new Sorento increased 24-percent over April 2023 as SUVs accounted for 81-percent of Kia's U.S. sales, the highest monthly mix in company history
• Best-ever April for three Kia utility vehicles: Carnival, Telluride and Sportage
'The impressive sales momentum generated by Kia's EV and electrified models in the first quarter continued to accelerate in April with best-ever EV and SUV performances,' said Eric Watson, vice president, sales operations, Kia America. 'With the new Sorento now in showrooms and refreshed Carnival and K5 models arriving later this summer, Kia continues to capture new customers and retain brand loyalists by offering consumers world-class ICE, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric choices.'
- • Kia received three awards for vehicle excellence from the editors of Cars.com in their annual rankings of '2024 Best Value New Cars.' In the Compact Car category, the 2024 Forte sedan and 2024 Soul crossover led the pack with first and second place honors, respectively, and the all-electric 2024 EV6 received third-place honors in the Electric Vehicle (EV) category.
• The 2024 Kia EV9 was recognized as an industry leader by AutoTrader in the publication's annual rankings of 'Best New Cars of 2024.' The all-electric EV9 SUV was honored alongside 10 other top vehicles. This is the fourth time in as many years that a Kia vehicle was named to the list.
• Kia was honored at the 2024 Car Design Award ceremony, receiving the prestigious accolade for 'Brand Design Language'. As part of its much lauded brand relaunch, Kia unveiled its revolutionary new design philosophy, 'Opposites United,' in 2021. The design philosophy harnesses three energies - tension, harmony, and dynamism - to create fresh perspectives and develop new ideas inspired by the contradicting forces experienced in daily life.
