Kia, recently released its sales figures for the third quarter of 2024. Notably, the company reported significant sales growth in India, North America, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region, primarily attributed to the popularity of recreational vehicles available in these markets. In India, Kia promotes the Carens as a recreational vehicle.
Despite the positive sales performance in these specific regions, Kia has observed an overall decline in global sales. The company recorded sales of 763,693 units in the third quarter of 2024, reflecting a 1.9 per cent decrease compared to the previous year. This decline has been linked to a temporary halt in production at certain Kia facilities due to ongoing upgrades.
