Kia America's Record Sales Milestone Continues Through April 2025
Kia America has reached a significant achievement in the automotive sector, delivering a record-breaking 74,805 units in April 2025. This marks a
14% increase compared to the same month last year, and extends Kia's impressive sales streak to an astounding
seven consecutive months of growth. The surge in sales has further solidified Kia's position in the competitive market and reflects the company's strong commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
Strong Sales Across Models
April saw standout performances from several popular models. Notably, the
Telluride,
Sportage,
Carnival, and the recently introduced
K4 all set new sales records for the month. The
Telluride experienced a substantial
21% increase, while the
Sportage and
Carnival followed closely with sales rising by
18% and an impressive
79% respectively, fueled by a successful hybrid launch during the latter half of the previous year. Furthermore, Kia's electric vehicle (EV) sales soared by
21% year-over-year, highlighting the brand's shift towards electrification and sustainable mobility.
Commitment to Innovation and Customer Satisfaction
Eric Watson, Vice President of Commercial Operations at Kia America, commented on the consistent sales growth stating, "Achieving record sales for seven consecutive months has only strengthened the Kia brand. We are committed to enhancing our product line and improving customer satisfaction through continuous innovation." This dedication is evident with Kia's recent launch of the
EV6 and
EV9 models at their manufacturing plant in Georgia, both of which are eligible for federal tax incentives. The transition to adopting CCS and NACS charging standards has also enabled Kia EV customers access to
over 40,000 charging points nationwide, enhancing the convenience and flexibility of ownership.
Debuting New Models at the International Auto Show
Kia continued to showcase its forward-thinking approach at the 2025 New York International Auto Show, presenting significant updates to its model lineup. The unveiling of the
K4 Hatchback, which builds on the success of its sedan counterpart, adds greater flexibility and interior space for drivers and passengers alike. The
EV9 Nightfall Edition made waves with its sleek black details and exclusive 20-inch glossy black wheels. Kia also introduced the fully electric
EV4 which aims to expand the appeal of electric vehicles with innovative design, technology, and range to meet diverse customer needs.
Prestigious Recognitions
Kia's commitment to excellence has not gone unnoticed. At the Auto Show, the
Kia EV3 was awarded the title of
World Car of the Year 2025, marking the second consecutive year Kia has achieved this significant accolade, following the
EV9's win in 2024. Additionally, Kia was honored as the
Sustainable Disruptor of the Year at the 2025 Newsweek Auto Disruptor Awards, a testament to its dedicated collaboration with
The Ocean Cleanup and its efforts to eliminate plastic waste from our oceans.
