RVINE, Calif., August 2, 2016 – Following the best first half performance in company history, Kia Motors America (KMA) today reported best-ever July sales of 59,969 units, up 6.5 percent over the same period last year. The brand's sixth monthly sales record in seven months included:
· The highest July sales totals for the Forte family of compact cars and Sportage compact CUV in company history
· Double digit increases for Rio, Forte, Sportage and Sedona over July 2015 "Showroom traffic and sales have shot up over the last six weeks since J.D. Power recognized Kia as the highest scoring nameplate in the industry for initial quality and bestowed four APEAL awards to our world-class offerings in some of the largest and most competitive segments," said Michael Sprague, chief operating officer and EVP, KMA. "With the market cooling and customers looking for smart choices, these recent accolades reflect the satisfaction of our owners – many of whom are new to the Kia brand – and help strengthen our position as so much more than simply a value leader."
What Kia and Hyundai offer standard on their vehicles have made all manufacturers upgrade their models.
Quality we have seen in Volkswagens from Mexico matching Kia and Hyundai.
Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus and all domestic brands have raised their quality.
Jaguar and Land Rover have shown that the brilliance of Tata Motors and their designers and engineers have raised the bar on premium luxury brands.
Audi has shown that their German heritage continues to impress customers worldwide. Their sales have been moving up every month for the last 67 months.
