This represented  a total of  187,251 units sold.

"These are exciting times for the Kia brand," said Kia Motors Corporation vice chairman Hyoung-Keun Lee.

"We are seeing our new generation of products like the recently launched all-new Sportage CUV and Optima gain favorable acceptance  for their chic, striking styling and vastly improved, fuel efficient powertrains not to mention all the modern high-tech convenience and safety features that are driving home our value proposition to the worldís consumers.

"Building on this strong momentum for the brand, we will be launching our class-leading petrol-electric Optima hybrid at the end of this year as the next step in our plans to fortify the Kia product line-up with our EcoDynamics range of environmentally friendly vehicles."
