The Kia Sportage achieved significant sales milestones in October, ranking as the best-selling car in the UK for the month and marking Kia’s highest October sales to date.
This success contributes to Kia's overall performance as the fourth best-selling brand in the UK year-to-date, with over 100,000 units sold so far in 2024. The Sportage, now in its fifth generation, has become a key driver for Kia’s UK market share, holding the position of the second best-selling model overall for 2024. With strong performance from Kia's electrified models, one out of every two Kias sold is a fully electric, plug-in hybrid, or hybrid model.
Kia has also introduced a range of finance offers, including 7.9% APR on Sportage models, making it easier for customers to purchase their desired Kia vehicle with low deposits.
One in every two (49%) Kia cars sold is an eco model (either a fully electric, plug-in hybrid or hybrid model). These eco sales ensure Kia is on target to meet or exceed the UK ZEV mandate for 2024.
Kia now offers the fully electric EV3, new EV6, EV9 and Niro EV. The hotly anticipated Kia EV3 – Kia’s most affordable EV – is on sale now with prices starting from £32,995 on-the-road. The EV3 can travel up to 375* miles per charge** with the larger of two battery options, 81.4kWh or 58.3kWh.
More than 1,000 orders have already been placed for the EV3 following enormous customer interest. This was supported by national Kia dealer EV3 Electric Experience events throughout the year that offered the chance for customers to get hands-on with the car ahead of first customer deliveries. Furthermore, the car has already received hugely positive reviews and was the outright Electrifying.com Car of the Year for 2024.
