Kia just posted its best first half of sales ever, and that momentum continues into July. The automaker sold 71,123 cars last month, up 12 percent compared to July 2024.
Kia has sold 487,634 vehicles through July. That’s 37,000 more than it sold in the first seven months of 2024. Eric Watson, Kia America’s vice president of sales operations, said the brand “is steadily progressing toward its highest annual sales record and an all-time high market share, fueled by record-breaking consumer sales growth.”
