Despite many, many shoppers keeping their old cars a little longer, Kia just couldn’t help having its best-ever May sales this year. The automaker sold a healthy 80,502 vehicles last month, a slight increase over May 2025’s 79,007 sales, with success largely buoyed up by the new and improved 2027 Telluride, plus a surprising little surge for the EV9 electric crossover and continued popularity of the Carnival minivan. Clearly, the South Korean automaker’s secret sauce is proving very appetizing with consumers.
