@Hyundai: Kia Motors America Announces March Sales

Best-Ever First Quarter Sales of the Sportage SUV

Kia Motors America today announced March sales of 45,413 vehicles, led by the Optima and Forte. The first three months of 2020 saw the Sportage SUV – Kia’s longest-running nameplate in the U.S. – realize best-ever first quarter sales of 20,057 units.

Our thoughts and prayers are with those directly and indirectly affected by this terrible virus and we hope that significant containment is achieved over the coming weeks,” said Bill Peffer, vice president, sales operations, Kia Motors America. To show both our customers and our dealer partners that we’re in this together, we implemented Kia’s Accelerate the Good program, which will help new and existing customers impacted by the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 outbreak with payment deferral programs that will continue until further notice.  Our primary concerns are for the health of our employees, those that work throughout our nationwide network of Kia dealers and our customers, as well as the future of our business.”
