Kia America’s record-breaking sales streak continued into the new year with January sales of 64,502 units, a 13 percent increase over the previous high set in January 2025.
Six Kia models – Carnival (+60 percent); Sportage (+23 percent); K5 (+8 percent); Telluride (+7 percent); Seltos (+6 percent) and K4 (+2 percent) – posted best-ever January sales and sales of Kia’s electrified models (+45 percent) and SUVs (+14 percent) also set new January sales records.
“Building on three straight annual sales records, January’s record performance shows that Kia is not slowing down as the brand’s strategy of giving customers everything they need and more than they expect across a variety of segments and powertrains attracts more and more new customers,” said Eric Watson, vice president, sales operations, Kia America. “With the all-new flagship 2027 Telluride SUV, now available with a hybrid variant, and the highly anticipated K4 hatchback arriving in showrooms soon, 2026 will once again prove the value of offering a balanced lineup to U.S. customers and we are confident that our upward trajectory will continue.”
