IRVINE, CA - March 1, 2018: Kia Motors America today announced February sales of 40,672 vehicles, highlighted by best-ever February sales of the Sportage CUV. The month also saw the third straight monthly increase in retail deliveries of the all-new Stinger sportback sedan.

"Kia continued to buck market trends in February with double digit year-over-year increases for the Rio and Cadenza car lines despite a nearly 40-percent decrease in overall fleet deliveries compared to the same period last year," said Bill Peffer, vice president, sales operations, Kia Motors America. "Together, sales of the Sportage and Sorento CUVs were up 8.5-percent over February 2017, and there are a host of new and refreshed products headed to showrooms this calendar year that will continue driving traffic and attracting new customers."

* The Sorento and Optima GDI (EX, SX & Limited and certain LX Trims only) are assembled in the United States from U.S. and globally sourced parts.
