The recent launch of the Sportage has been followed by record levels of demand for the Kia model.<\/p>\n
Released in March, the SUV is now one of the top ten UK best-selling cars, with a total of 1,521 being delivered during the first full month of sales, with more than 5,000 customer orders being placed so far this year.<\/p>\n
Kia’s market share in the UK stood at 3.46 per cent in February, with total sales reaching 7,955 since the start of 2016.<\/p>\n
Paul Philpott, president and chief executive of Kia Motors UK, welcomed the demand for the Sportage and explained it highlighted the market for quality, but affordable, SUV models.<\/p>\n
"Our dealers have been swamped by demand for the car with the high-specification trim versions being particularly popular. It is remarkable that Sportage has entered the UK’s top ten as the new car has enjoyed its first month on sale and I am confident that we shall see its performance maintained throughout 2016," he added.<\/p>\n
Buyers have a choice of 18 different Sportage models, with four different engine and transmission combinations. Prices start at £17,995 for the basic entry model.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
