Eric Watson, vice president, sales operations, Kia America, commented, "Kia's ability to consistently increase year-over-year monthly sales for 15 months in a row is a testament to our ability to provide consumers with a world-class lineup that caters not only to sedans and SUVs but also electric models. The upcoming 2024 EV9, set for release soon, has already garnered significant consumer interest with pre-orders, establishing its presence in the competitive electric SUV segment from the start." He added, "We anticipate surpassing our 2022 full-year sales by mid-November, putting us on track to achieve a record-breaking annual sales performance for 2023."

In October, six models, including Carnival (+172-percent); Rio (+44-percent); EV6 (+30-percent); K5 (+7-percent); Forte (+5-percent) and Telluride (+4-percent), recorded increased sales compared to the same month the previous year.

In addition to the monthly sales performance, Kia America announced several initiatives, including:

Adapters are expected to be made available through Kia dealers starting in Q1 2025
