#kia #hyundai #genesis #hybrid #sportage #telluride For the sixth consecutive month, Kia America has set new sales records as the brand achieved record overall and record retail sales in October. Kia sold 80,008 units in October, with 68,926 vehicles sold through the brand’s nationwide network of retailers. These record-breaking overall and retail performances represent respective increases of 16 and 20 percent over the previous records for each category. Kia also set new sales records for electrified vehicles and hybrids, with sales increasing 112 percent and 114 percent year-over-year, helping drive Kia’s record October performance. Eight Kia models achieved significant year-over-year sales growth, including: EV9 (+111 percent); Telluride (+63 percent); EV6 (+58 percent); Seltos (+43 percent); Sorento (+31 percent); Carnival (+17% percent); K4 (+14 percent); and Sportage (+12 percent). Of these, Telluride, Seltos, Carnival, K4, and Sportage each achieved best-ever October sales. Telluride, Sportage HEV and Carnival HEV delivered best-ever any month sales records. The hybrid variants of Sorento (+122 percent); Carnival (+88 percent) and Sportage (+57 percent) also posted impressive double- and triple-digit sales increases, thereby contributing to Kia’s record-breaking October sales. “With six consecutive months of record-breaking sales, Kia is accelerating toward a fourth straight annual sales record, powered by the strength of our world-class model lineup and our nationwide network of retail partners,” said Eric Watson, vice president, sales operations, Kia America. “An expanding hybrid lineup, the arrival of the all-new, all-electric EV3, and the success of the all-new Telluride and Seltos are adding even more momentum to our growth. We’re confident this record-setting pace will carry us through the fourth quarter and well into 2027.” In addition to the monthly sales performance, Kia America also made additional announcements, including: The arrival of the all-new, all-electric, 2027 Kia EV3 in Kia showrooms nationwide. The most attainable model in Kia’s growing electric vehicle lineup, the EV3 has a starting price at just under $30,000 MSRP[1] for the Light FWD. Offering up to an EPA-estimated 321 miles of all-electric range on the Wind FWD and the Land FWD, the EV3 was designed as an entry EV SUV, delivering efficient, all-electric performance in a smart, approachable and compact package. Pricing for the 2027 Sorento ICE powertrain, with the base LX trim price increasing by only $200. For 2027, changes to Sorento are minimal, with the popular SUV carrying over several previous model year updates. The most notable change for 2027 is the inclusion of Black Jade Green and the deletion of Jungle Green. This new exterior hue has performed well on the new Telluride, and so its availability has been expanded to the 2027 Sorento. 00:00 - Kia is cooking 08:25 - Hyundai best OCT 13:40 - Genesis update 15:54 - current offers 20:43 - Current market deals
