Kia Motors America (KMA) today announced best-ever February sales of 49,737 vehicles, a 13 percent increase over the same period last year. The brand's tenth consecutive monthly sales record was led by the Soul and Optima, with 11,842 and 9,630 units sold, respectively.

"With our Super Bowl ad, Presidents' Day Sales Event and prominent role in the NBA All-Star Game, February was a huge month for Kia as we extended our monthly record streak to double digits," said Michael Sprague, chief operating officer and EVP, KMA. "Positive economic indicators, low gas prices and mild weather nationwide also drove consumers into Kia showrooms at a record pace, where they discovered the 'New Kia's' line-up of world-class products."
