Kia registers best-ever quarter

Kia Motors UK has recorded its best-ever first-quarter market share in the first three months of 2021.

According to new data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), Kia has registered 20,365 vehicles so far this year, giving the brand a 4.79% share of the UK new car market.

Kia also strengthened its presence in the eco-car sector, and is the second best-selling battery electric vehicle (BEV) brand in the UK, year-to-date.

Paul Philpott, president and CEO, said: “March 2021 stands in stark contrast to previous years. However, alongside our dealer partners we have still been able to provide quality service and products to our UK customers by adapting to the major challenges posed by the pandemic.”
