The Kia to success
Kia has recorded its best-ever May sales figure of 7,279, an increase of eight per cent compared to 2018 and ahead of the 2016 record of 6,912, with alternative-fuelled models driving the increase.
So far this year Kia has delivered 44,705 vehicles to customers – an increase of 5.6 per cent compared to the same period of last year. Kia’ alternative-fuelled-vehicles also reached new heights with 4,066 sold.
Paul Philpott, president and chief executive said, ‘It is encouraging that most of our growth in May came from retail customers especially as this sector remains very competitive. To be number eight in the rank of manufacturers in the UK is tribute to the efforts of our dealers, the excellent product coming from our factories and the faith customers have in us. But with another fall in the overall new car market we will not be complacent and seek to continue to make a compelling offer to new car buyers.’
