ELECTRIFIED LINEUP AND UTILITY VEHICLE DEMAND POWERS KIA AMERICA TO BEST NOVEMBER SALES IN COMPANY HISTORY
12/03/24 ID: 22873- Kia’s record November sales increased 20-percent over 2023 marking best-ever November sales total in company history
- All-time best any month sales total for the Telluride SUV
- Best-ever November for Kia’s utility and electrified offerings
Kia's SUV models and electrified vehicles experienced significant growth, with increases of 38-percent and 45-percent respectively compared to the same period last year, driving the highest sales figures ever recorded for November. Individually, the Carnival MPV, all-electric EV6, Sportage (combined ICE, HEV and PHEV), Telluride, and K4/Forte set new November records, up 45-, 46-, 28-, 31-, and 12-percent, respectively, over the same period last year.
Kia has achieved a remarkable milestone by recording a 20-percent year-over-year increase in retail sales, excluding fleet sales, for the second consecutive month, setting a new record for November sales. Sales of SUVs and electrified models accounted for 75-percent and 16-percent of Kia’s overall November total.
“Kia is clearly a brand on the move with world-class ICE and electrified vehicles that far exceed consumer expectations that have helped us achieve back-to-back monthly sales records in Q4,” said Eric Watson, vice president, sales operations, Kia America. “The Telluride has had an immeasurable impact on Kia since launching in 2019, and to reach all-time best monthly sales in 2024 speaks to its enduring appeal. And with five all-new and significantly redesigned vehicles recently unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show, we have no plans of slowing down.”
In addition to the monthly sales performance, Kia America announced several initiatives, including:
- At the 2024 LA Auto Show, Kia unveiled the latest generation of the Sportage SUV, Kia’s longest-running nameplate and most popular model. The 2026 Sportage delivers more of everything for today’s savvy, adventurous consumers across three distinct powertrain variants – ICE, Turbo Hybrid (HEV), and Turbo Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) – with an expansive trim range that includes the rugged and capable X-Line and X-Pro Prestige trims.
- In addition, the high-performance 2026 Kia EV9 GT SUV and the significantly refreshed Kia EV6 were also unveiled at the at the show. With a Kia-estimated 501 horsepower[1] propelled through dual electric motors mounted front and rear, the EV9 GT is targeted to hit 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds[2] and represents the most powerful 3-row SUV Kia has ever produced. The 2026 EV6 features updated front and rear designs, enhanced premium interior touches, and newly packaged trim levels with added features and amenities. The EV6 continues to strengthen its position in the CUV and EV segments by building on its award-winning formula.
- Kia returned to the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas with two concepts that offered a peek into the future when vehicles will offer the ultimate in capability, adaptability, utility and organization, all with an eye on innovation. The two Kia concepts – the EV9 ADVNTR CONCEPT EV SUV and the PV5 WKNDR CONCEPT EV VAN – represented “leveled up” versions of the brand’s rugged and capable utility vehicles which have long been known for being versatile, adaptable and comfortable and for suiting the needs of a wide range of consumers.
