KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How many cars did Kia sell in August 2022?

    Kia's total global sales for August is 239,887 units.
  • What are Kia's best-selling models globally?

    Kia revealed that its best-selling models globally are the Sportage and the Seltos.
  • Kia said that its increased numbers came to an SUV-led lineup that spurred the brand’s sales for the previous month. According to the Seoul-based brand, the Kia Sportage and the Kia Seltos were among its best-selling models with 35,408 and 22,487 units sold respectively. Kia’s EV6 also recorded a strong sales figure of 4,661 units.

    Other factors that have helped bring up Kia’s sales could be the string of recognition the brand has received. Kia’s accolades include the top rank in the 2022 Vehicle Dependability Study conducted by JD Power in the US as well as the “Car Brand of the Year” award from UK-based Which? Awards.

    Kia remained positive with its business outlook. The company stated in a recent press release that it will continue to adjust its production in line with inventory status flexibly and minimize production disruption. Kia also believes that by building on competitive new models such as the all-electric EV6 — named the 2022 European Car of the Year in February — the company can create positive sales momentum and enhance profitability while continuing to rapidly transition to a sustainable mobility solutions provider.
