In May, Kia's sales have increased in all of its overseas regions: North America (up 48.4% - 55,140 cars), China (up 28.8% - 33,624 cars), Europe (up 19.2% - 41,139 cars) and general markets (up 7% - 39,924 cars). However, sales in Korea declined by 5.0% (38,012 cars).
“Nearing the midway point of 2011, we are encouraged to see that customers’ continued changing perceptions about the quality, styling, performance and value of Kia products in positive directions has resulted in sales growth outpacing our initial annual forecasts. We look forward to maintaining strong momentum in all of our strategic markets in the coming months, buoyed by the arrival of the next generation versions of the Morning and Rio,” explains Senior Executive Vice President & COO of Kia Motors Corporation, Thomas Oh.
