Kia records best ever UK January sales

Kia Motors (UK) Ltd., recorded its best-ever January sales with more than 5,000 vehicles delivered to customers during the first month of 2010.

A total of 5,030 vehicles were registered during January - almost 200 per cent up compared to January last year and Kia"s market share for the month increased to 3.47 per cent - up from 1.52 per cent in 2009.

Kia"s retail market performance was even more outstanding with the brand taking a 5.48 per cent share after delivering 3,548 units to private customers - more than four times the performance in January 2009 when the recession was at its deepest.

The January 2010 performance also saw Kia climb into the Top Ten of retail brands. The marque"s Picanto city-car claimed third place in the A segment retail Top Ten and was seventh in all retail sales. Overall Kia climbed six places to become the 11^th best-selling brand in the UK new car market.

Michael Cole, Managing Director, said: "Only a month ago we were celebrating hitting a record sales total for Kia in 2009 of more than 50,000 units and we have continued that form into 2010.

"I believe this shows that the brand is strengthening its position amongst retail buyers and even with the excellent support for the trade from the scrappage incentive it shows how strong our product appeal is to private motorists. Now with a seven year warranty right across our range, the launch of our stylish new Venga and an all-new flagship Sorento, I am convinced we will maintain that performance in 2010.

"Of course the market will get a lot tougher once the scrappage scheme ends shortly, but Kia dealers are poised to build on our growing reputation as a provider of stylish, safe and thoroughly reliable products and we will be looking to grow our market share this year," he added.

Kia"s last-highest January sales figure was in 2005 when the brand sold 2,477 units in what is traditionally a small sales month across most of the UK.

NO JOKE……

Car Dealer and Charity in the same sentence!

Comic Relief tops £1000 at Longley Park KIA.

During February and March 2009 Longley Park Motors and customers through various activities have raised and donated £1000 to the charity “Comic Relief”. Various RED NOSE activities were undertaken, which included competitions, charity car wash and a £700 donation from the company itself.

Kia Motors is the first car manufacturer to be a supporting partner to Comic Relief. Kevin Cahill CEO of the Red Nose Charity has stated that every penny raised by Longley Park Motors will help transform people’s lives across the UK and Africa.

Talking about the fundraising activities At Longley Park, John Waite Managing Director of the Paddock based Kia Dealer commented.

“We have had a plenty of interest and support in fundraising from existing customers and also lots of showroom activity with the launch of the All New KIA Soul. Recent news over the last 6 months has made it difficult to remain truly confident so it is remarkable that business and fundraising has remained so positive. We have done what we can to help and really hope that this money will make a difference to the people who really need it”

John reports that despite the continuing economic gloom business at Longley Park Motors is brisk “Sales of NEW KIA CARS in Huddersfield, particularly in January and March have been very good, better than 2008 and because we specialise in the more budget conscious sector of the NEW and USED car market, means the outlook for 2009 is very positive”

This is the first event of its kind the dealership has been associated with in its 28 year history.

"So a big thank you to all you kind spirited customers who have made this possible"

Student from Huddersfield wins brand new Kia Picanto

Not many people can say their first car was a brand new motor with no miles on the clock. But student Ross Allen from Huddersfield can - after he triumphed in the Examiner’s Win A Kia Picanto competition.

Ross 19 won the brand new £6,000 car donated by local Kia dealership Longley Park Motors in a grand final contest at the Kingsgate shopping centre on Saturday the 13th October.He was one of ten finalists who had to try and collect the most golden tickets from the Crystal Maze type booth. Each contestant had 30 seconds in the booth to catch the blowing tickets watched by supporters and curious shoppers. Ross managed to collect 40 tickets making him the winner.

A delighted Ross plans to take his brand new Diamond Blue metallic Picanto back to Manchester University where he is in his second year of a chemistry degree.He said “I didn’t have a plan for winning I just went there and tried to grab as many tickets as I could. I thought it would be a good idea to enter I’m really glad I did ”

He was presented with the keys to his new car by John Waite, Dealer Principal of Longley Park Kia . “ The competition has given us six weeks of high profile publicity for our Kia range and the Picanto in particular. It can be no coincidence that in the last week alone we have sold 7 new Picanto models. We have great offers right now and the competition has done a great service to get Longley Park Motors noticed by local drivers”

Everyone’s a winner!

Being the first Kia that is built in Europe, for the European market, the cee’d marks an extraordinary turning point for Kia and wanted to promote its new cars to consumers who wouldn’t ordinarily consider the brand.
