Kia America reported its highest-ever October sales, with 68,908 units sold, driven by growth in electrified vehicles and SUVs, the manufacturer said. Sales of Kia’s all-electric (EV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and hybrid (HEV) vehicles increased by 70%, 65%, and 49% respectively compared to last year, marking a record for electrified model sales in October. SUV sales also reached a record high for the month, making up 73% of total sales.

Three Kia models—Sportage, Carnival, and EV6—set new October sales records. Additionally, Sorento, Telluride, K5, and Soul models saw sales gains of 23%, 14%, 12%, and 10% respectively, compared to the same period last year.

“A number of Kia’s electrified models and SUVs realized double-digit sales increases, propelling Kia to our best October sales performance in company history,” said Eric Watson, vice president, sales operations, Kia America. “Kia continues to appeal to a broad range of consumers as we offer 10 compelling utility models many with a choice of all-electric, plug-in hybrid, hybrid and ICE powertrains. As the all-new K4 compact sedan and the first-ever Carnival Hybrid MPV are already generating significant foot traffic in Kia showrooms nationwide, we expect the positive growth to continue.
