- These sedans were not the only winners because K5 sales increased by 32.5% compared to a year ago.
- Kia America posted her best January and five models have set up sales records for the month.
The carpocalypse has claimed many victims, including the Chevrolet Malibu, Ford Fusion, Mazda6 and Nissan Maxima. Given that, it is surprising to see that the best -selling vehicle in Kia in January was a sedan.
The Korean car manufacturer sold 11,616 K4 and strong last month, which made them the best -selling vehicle in Kia in January. They were closely followed by Sportage, which found 11,357 buyers. Rounding the podium was aging, but extremely popular tellurid, which generated 8,771 sales.

Returning to the sedans, the K4 was not the only winner, because K5 sales increased by 32.5% compared to a year ago to 4,357 units. The carnival mini-dinner also had a good month, because sales increased by 21.6%.
Not all models were as lucky as the Seltos stumbled 29%. The Niro, Sorento and EV9 also had a decrease from year to year.
Despite the mixed results, Kia America reported her best sales in January while the dealerships moved 57,007 units last month. It was an improvement of 12% compared to a year ago and the company noted that five models established sales records of all time for January. They included carnival, K4 / Forte, Teluride, Sportage and Ev6.
The success of the K4 is not a big surprise because it has an elegant design as well as an affordable price that starts at $ 21,990. Most variants are equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine which produces 147 hp (110 kW / 149 PS) and 132 lb-ft (179 nm) of torque. However, the turbo K4 GT-Line Topping K4 has a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder developing 190 hp (142 kW / 193 PS) and 195 LB-PI (264 nm) of torque.
While K4 sales are grouped with the outgoing fort, the supplies dry out. A quick search reveals less than 350 new units in stock, so the model should not be too long.
