Waukegan Kia news: Kia's September sales surge
Kia has quickly grown as a reliable and affordable provider of quality vehicles, and the numbers are spiking to prove the Korean manufacturer’s significance in a highly volatile economy. Truly, Kia represents a stalwart reminder that the automotive industry can deliver a quality product for an affordable price, and the US market is stepping up to give the manufacturer a reason to continue on in a heavily affected automotive climate.
Kia just recently announced its global September sales figures, and they are quite impressive. Kia passenger cars (export sales, domestic sales and sales from overseas plants), recreational vehicles (RVs) and commercial vehicles have logged a sales increase of more than 40 percent in comparison to last year’s figures. This isn’t exactly news for Waukegan Kia dealerships, who have been seeing some of the boosted sales numbers firsthand. The total units sold for September 2009 numbers 155,223.
Every Kia sales region saw a year-on-year increase, with Chinese sales posting a 130.3 percent increase, Korean numbers logging a 60.4 percent increase, European sales reaching 27.6 percent above last year, and North American figures boasting a 23.6 percent increase. The North American figures are especially appealing for Chicago Kia Soul dealerships, who have benefited from the massive attention Kia has received in the US.
The Korean manufacturer is continuing a trend of growth over 2009, posting an 11.8 percent sales jump in year-to-year comparisons. Over the first nine months of this year, Kia has sold 1,187,795 units—a staggering number to grasp in the midst of falling sales for nearly every other manufacturer across the spectrum of the automotive industry. The average Chicago Kia Soul driver would take comfort in the safety of these sales numbers.
In the general 2009 numbers, China again posted the highest sales increase for Kia with a 48.3 percent increase that represents 166,869 units to date. These numbers might be less significant to Waukegan Kia Sportage drivers, but they represent a much better brand awareness for the young manufacturer across global markets.
Kia Forte drivers have purchased Kia’s best selling vehicle in 2009. Called the “Spectra” or “Cerato” in some markets, the C-segment vehicle has logged 208,627 units sold over the course of the year. The Sportage and Rio models followed closely behind with 127,342 and 125,092 units sold respectively. While these sales numbers heavily favor the Forte, even Waukegan Kia dealerships don’t know what the manufacturer has up its sleeves for next year’s lineup.
These sales numbers not only represent a triumph for Kia, but also for the automotive industry as a whole and drivers who value more for less. Kia has shaken the automotive world to its core by offering the ability to purchase a quality vehicle at a low price. With sales numbers like these, there is no doubt that Kia will be sailing into the next phase of the car industry at the front of the pack. And Waukegan Kia Sportage drivers will gain a newfound respect from drivers everywhere. Stop by a Kia dealer today.
