Kia on a roll: February saw best month of sales on record

February was a great month for Kia, as it saw sales increase around 9% versus the same time frame last year.  That is really great news, especially in, let’s say it straight up, a crappy economy.  How many units were sold in Feb (a few included in this figure were sold at your Gurnee Kia dealership):  24,052 to be exact.  The previous record was set in 2007 when 23,512 went to excited drivers.

Why this success for Kia?    The biggest reason is the investment the company has made in the U.S. market.  They opened their first ever US manufacturing plant in West Point, Georgia.  This gives area residents a chance for a stable job and brings some notoriety to that community.  The Kia Sorento is the first vehicle manufactured in the Georgia plant.  People are recognizing that Kia is dedicated to making quality, safe, and technologically advanced cars and SUV’s.

I think this is a great time to head to your Kia dealer Gurnee car lot and see why purchasing a Kia has made millions of customers happy.  There are many options to choose from, there’s no doubt you’ll find one that suits you perfectly.  Let’s take a look at the new Sorento!

The 2011 Sorento is a great choice if you are looking for an eye-catching SUV with plenty of cargo room.  The EX model starts out just under $30K and has a V6 3.5 L engine. The base will start your around around $20K. The EX produces 273 horsepower and 247 pound-feet of torque.  Makes for pretty good driving, if I say so myself!   The car-like feel of this SUV is also very nice.  There isn’t cabin noise to deal with and it drives smooth.  The Sorento is available at Gurnee Kia, so check it out today!

Moving to the interior of the Sorento.  It is nice and although it may not be as luxurious as SUV’s made by other car companies, but it does the job!  I enjoy the tilting and telescoping wheel.  A driver who is comfortable and ready makes for safer roadways.  There is also the dual zone climate control and ample safety features throughout.

Kia is where it’s at.  The company is building cars here in the United States, had record February sales, and has great dealerships throughout the country, including your Gurnee Kia store.  Check out the Sorento and other Kia cars now!
