Sales of the company’s most popular model in the UK, the Kia Sportage, also grew by 21.5 per cent (to 2,986 units), making it the second best-selling model in the UK in January, while the wider Niro model family, including Self-Charging Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid variants, also featured in the UK’s top 10.
