Kia Global Sales (By Model) : 2019 (Jan-July)

Kia had nearly 1.6 million factory sales for the first seven months of the year. The Sportage is the most popular by some distance with 18% of the total. The small cars Rio, Cerato and Picanto come next. Production in China isn't going well and that will impact on global sales if that persists. At least Kia isn't that reliant on that market.

Hyundai Global Sales (By Model) : 2019 (Jan-July)

Hyundai and Genesis managed 2.5 million factory sales of cars and commercial vehicles in seven months of 2019. Although a strong passenger car maker, SUVs are taking more share each year, like everywhere else.

The Tucson SUV is the best selling vehicle, ahead of the Avante (aka Elantra) with the i20 super mini. It may surprise some that the Creta (ix25) SUV comes in fourth and the new Kona already up to fifth. The Accent (Verna, Solaris) pips the Sante Fe into sixth.
