The most popular model in Kia’s range remained the Sportage SUV with over 34,500 delivered. Kia also sold just over 12,300 variants of the all-new Ceed range, while the Picanto city car recorded just under 18,000 sales.
Paul Philpott, president and chief executive, said: “Our dealers have done a fantastic job delivering more Kia models to customers than ever before and I am delighted that motorists continue to recognize our unmatched quality and value tied to our industry-leading seven-year warranty.
“Looking forward, we are committed to helping our dealer network continue to supply even more vehicles to their customers whilst at the same time recognizing the challenge of lower CO2 targets and the need to broaden our electrified vehicle performance. Our aim is to move from one-in-ten vehicles being electrified to one-in-three this year.”
