IRVINE, CA -- Oct. 1, 2014: After posting the best first-half performance in company history, Kia Motors America's (KMA) momentum continued with record third quarter sales, including 40,628 units in September, up 6.9-percent over the same period last year. As Kia celebrates its 20th anniversary in the U.S., the fast-moving brand continues to grow and mature with year-to-date sales up 6.9 percent and its aggressive new product cadence continues with two important new products – the all-new 2015 Sedona and the company's first all-electric, zero-emissions vehicle in the U.S., the Soul EV – now beginning to arrive in dealerships.

"September capped off the strongest summer selling season for Kia in its 20-year history, and with the launch of two all-new vehicles now underway, we continue to introduce the brand and our outstanding products to new customers who turn to Kia for our world-class quality and design, advanced technology and tremendous value," said Michael Sprague, executive vice president of sales and marketing, KMA.
