Kia riding high

In the last few months, over 6,500 Kia Soul vehicles have been sold in Europe, which was more than Kia Motors had forecast. The launch of the Kia Soul in Australia and the USA was equally successful, with 3,200 new sales in April alone. In contrast to the overall trend in the market, Kia Motors increased its April sales figures in eight European countries. The biggest rises were in Slovakia (91%), Austria (51%) and Germany, where sales were up by 42%.
