April showers bring increased sales-power for Kia

For Midwesterners, spring means rain and eventually the blossom of flowers and crops. Well,  it seems that this spring the showers did more than just help the flowers grow – your Kia dealer in Normal, IL is helping Kia to make more sales than ever!

On the heels of a design transformation, the South Korean automaker has seen strong sales in 2010 so far. To date, they have sold over 106,000 vehicles, 12.9% more than were sold at this time last year. In April alone, 30,036 cars were sold in a 17.3% increase from last year. With numbers increasing every month so far this year, things are looking very good for Kia!

So what accounts for these increased numbers? Is it really a product of the April showers? Perhaps, but more than likely it is due to customers taking notice of the brand’s high quality products and unparalleled design. One great example of how Kia’s new and exciting design style is contributing to sales is the all-new Kia Sorento. Since the 2011 model was introduced it has been a leader for Kia. Of the total 30,036 vehicles sold through April, 8,486 of those were Sorento vehicles. That’s over 28% of the sales! It’s no surprise that the Sorento is selling so well. With an MSRP starting at $19,995, fuel economy ratings of 21/29 mpg city/highway, and a 175 horsepower L4, this SUV from Kia packs a pretty punch!

Other top sellers include the new Forte sedan, Forte Koup, and the Kia Soul. Kia has sold 5807 and 5223 respectively of each of these vehicles. Combined, the three aforementioned vehicles have accounted for 65% of Kia’s total sales this year! These vehicles are not to be missed!

Although Kia’s brand is undergoing a transformation, the older models should not be forgotten! The Bloomington preowned Kia Amanti is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a large sedan. The Optima, Sportage, and Rondo serve as great options as well.
