Kia is on fire in 2025, and October proved it once again with the Korean brand posting its best October sales month ever in the US, moving a total of 69,002 vehicles. This set a new monthly record and propelled Kia toward its third consecutive year of record-breaking annual sales. Year-to-date, the company has sold over 705,000 vehicles in the US, reflecting an 8% increase over 2024, underscoring the brand’s accelerating momentum.
Several models are driving Kia’s success. The Carnival MPV, Sportage, and K5 sedan each set new personal bests for October sales, with year-over-year gains of 35%, 17%, and 1% respectively. The Niro electric crossover recorded an eye-popping 75% increase in October sales, reinforcing Kia’s foothold in the electrified vehicle segment. Kia’s SUV and electrified model portfolios both saw double-digit growth, highlighting a well-rounded product mix that appeals to a diverse customer base.
The success story isn’t limited to the US. In India, Kia reported its strongest sales month since entering the market, with 29,556 units sold in October an impressive 30% year-over-year increase. Models like the Sonet and Carens Clavis EV fueled this growth, confirming Kia’s expanding global footprint and resonance with consumers across different markets.
Kia’s 2025 performance confirms that the brand’s strategy of blending style, technology, and value is striking a chord worldwide. With such strong momentum, Kia looks poised to continue setting new records and shaping the future of automotive sales well beyond this year.
