Kia Motors America Announces January Sales

Sedona Leads Way and Predicts Another Strong Sales Year for Kia

IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Kia Motors America (KMA) today

announced its second best January sales ever of 18,110 units, a 5.6-percent

increase over the same period in 2005. The Sedona minivan was the leading

seller at 5,484 units, a 42-percent increase over the previous month,

receiving a boost in momentum from the recent, media-lauded launch of the

all-new 2006 model. Both the Kia Sportage and Kia Spectra were strong

sellers, with 3,211 and 2,803 units sold respectively.

"Fresh on the heels of a record twelfth consecutive year of sales

increases, we've begun 2006 with a bang and our second best January ever,"

said Len Hunt, executive vice president and COO of KMA. "And we plan to

increase our brand momentum with the launch of six new products throughout the

year, offering customers even more standard fun, safety and value than ever

before."
