kia sales boom

April 8, 2010

Kia is celebrating record-breaking sales figures.
With 12,227 new cars sold across the UK in March, it proved to be the company’s best month to date and was an incredible 93.5 per cent increase on March 2009.
And with just under 21,000 vehicles sold this year so far, that figure matches the sales for the whole of 2003.
Yaser Shabsogh, Sales Director at Kia Motors (UK) Ltd., said: “The industry as a whole is showing how the market has recovered from the dark depths of economic gloom at this time last year.
“The success of Kia in the first quarter shows that the brand has become a true mainstream competitor amongst retail customers and that is a tribute to the efforts of our dealers over the past year and more.”
