Kia Celebrates Another Milestone

August 9, 2016 By Jeff Reiners

Following a record-setting month of new-vehicle sales in July, Kia’s commitment to affordable excellence extends to pre-owned vehicles, too, as the Korean brand celebrates an all-time sales high in the Certified Pre Owned segment this summer.

Kia is one of the fastest-growing brands in the industry, with an impressive three percent market share in Certified Pre-Owned sales for the month of July. Following an all-time high in June, July marks Kia’s second-strongest month in CPO sales ever. With gains of over 20 percent in both months over the same periods last year, these consecutive sales records give the automaker major reason to celebrate its CPO segment this summer.

Kia’s sales boost is reflective of an overall industry trend, with CPO sales on the rise in a major way. Previously dominated almost exclusively by the luxury market, leasing is now more widely available across all brands. As vehicles come off lease, they create a substantial pool of late-model, low-mileage cars that can be remarketed as Certified Pre-Owned.

Our own Lindsay McGrath is proud to represent the Kia brand and would like to offer an opportunity to capitalize on buyer confidence in Kia, which is currently at an all-time high. McGrath will even cut you a deal so you can experience Kia excellence first-hand.

KMA’s rigorous CPO program accepts only Kia vehicles that are five years or newer with fewer than 60,000 miles on the odometer and every vehicle undergoes a meticulous 150-point Quality Assurance inspection by certified Kia technicians. CPO vehicles also come with Kia’s industry-leading 10-year /100,000-mile powertrain warranty[2] and 12-month /12,000 mile-Platinum Coverage. Whether it’s the iconic Soul, the standout Sportage, or the midsize Optima sedan that drivers desire, customers get a great price matched with guaranteed quality, bypassing the stress, risk and uncertainty that typically comes with buying a used car.

There’s no slowdown in sight for the Certified Pre-Owned market. In 2015, total CPO sales across all brands hit a high of 2.6 million vehicles, while Kia has seen double-digit gains in CPO sales (12 percent from January to April) as more vehicles come off-lease.
