Picanto News: Picanto One Of The Best Sellers

2009 was a record year for Kia cars in the UK selling over 50,000 units.

The latest figures reveal things are going pretty much the same way with over 5,000 units already in the bag, a 200% increase over last January.

This now puts Kia 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 11th best-selling brand in the UK new car market.

Kia’s market share for the month now stands at 3.47 per cent – up from 1.52 per cent in 2009.

With a seven year warranty on the Picanto and also across the entire Kia range, we can see this trend continuing for the foreseeable future.
