Kia America Sets New Record in July Sales

Kia America has announced impressive sales figures for July 2026, selling a total of 75,857 units, marking a 7% increase compared to July last year. This sales performance stands as the highest in the company’s history for the month of July, following their strong performance in the first half of the year.

Sales through Kia retailers also saw a robust growth, with figures rising by 8% year-over-year. Cumulative sales through July reached 506,584 units, indicating a 4% increase over the same time frame last year. Kia appears well on its way to achieving its fourth consecutive annual sales record.

Several key models contributed significantly to this success. Notably, the Sportage hybrid saw a remarkable increase of 76%, along with other models including the Seltos (up 61%), Carnival hybrid (up 16%), Sorento hybrid (up 16%), Telluride (up 13%), and K4 (up 8%). The company's commitment to electrification is reflected in the electrified lineup, which saw hybrid model sales increase by 108% and overall electrified sales rise by 52% year-over-year.

Eric Watson, Vice President of Sales Operations at Kia America, commented on the ongoing momentum, stating, “Kia's continued success across various models—ranging from sedans to hybrids and electric powertrains—indicates strong consumer demand, despite challenges faced in the automotive industry. With the launch of the all-new Seltos and the much-anticipated affordable EV3 later this year, we envision sustaining this record-setting trajectory.”

In addition to their remarkable sales achievements, Kia America recently introduced the 2027 Kia Seltos to representatives from national and automotive media outlets in Newport Beach, emphasizing the vehicle’s enhanced capabilities and modern features that cater to adventurous drivers.
