KIA MOTORS AMERICA ANNOUNCES DECEMBER SALES
01/03/20 ID: 15858Kia Achieves Highest Annual Sales Since 2016- Sportage SUV posts best-ever annual sales for the second consecutive year
- More than 58,000 Telluride SUVs sold within first 11 months of availability
The unprecedented consumer interest in Telluride boosted Kia’s sales and demand for the model continues to outpace supply more than 11 months after its introduction. In addition, the ever-popular Sportage SUV posted best-ever annual sales for the second year in a row.
In terms of key awards and accolades, Telluride was named the “2020 SUV of the Year” by Motor Trend magazine and was also named a “Best Buy” on KBB.com. Telluride was also one of Car and Driver magazine’s “10Best” Models of 2019 and is a finalist for the coveted North American Utility Vehicle of The Year Award (NACOTY). And thanks to a robust SUV model lineup, Kia was also named “Best SUV Brand” by U.S. News & World Report.
“This past year was truly historic for the Kia brand. The automotive market is constricting, yet Kia’s retail sales are up and our fleet sales are at their lowest point since 2014,” noted Bill Peffer, vice president, sales operations, Kia Motors America. “Telluride captured consumer attention, but our entire world-class model lineup kept consumers interested in the brand and propelled Kia’s sales growth. We look forward to continuing this momentum into the New Year starting with the all-new 2021 Seltos SUV going on sale during the first quarter.”

Record sales of 61,568 cars in 2019 marks 10 consecutive years of growth for Porsche in the U.S.A decade of consistent growth is a fitting way to kick off the 70th anniversary this year of Porsche's beginnings in North America, which started in 1950 with the first three cars sold by New York dealer Max Hoffman."It's now my honor, 70 years after those first steps, to be part of the Porsche team that delivered over 60,000 new cars in the U.S. last year," said Klaus Zellmer, President and CEO of PCNA. "Porsche has evolved over time, from building one exciting roadster to offering a full range of models developed on the track for everyday use. All of our cars remain the sports car of their segments – and the same is true as we enter a new era with the first U.S. deliveries of the all-electric Taycan in December."
December retail sales were led by the latest generation of the Cayenne, up 7.2 percent from a year ago, and the refreshed Macan, which gained 24.5 percent in the same period. The Panamera also enjoyed year-end demand, gaining 78.3 percent in December from the same month last year.

Kinda good to have low sales figures. You get ultra exclusivity. Very few people have a LC. Part of prestige has to do with how hard something is to find.
Someone who has both a Lexus LC and a Toyota Land Cruiser sure has some rare vehicles. Both V8s
