(MENAFN) Kia Motors Corp. aims to sell over 26,000 units of its all-new K9 flagship sedan in global markets this year.
The major South Korean company said it started receiving preorders for the premium sedan as part of its efforts to help boost its lackluster sales this year, as it plans to launch the new sedan in the domestic market in mid-April.
Kia has set tough annual sales targets of 20,000 K9s locally and 6,000 units in overseas markets for this year, as 2017 domestic sales for the previous model of the K9 dropped 35 percent on-year to just 1,607 units, and its overseas sales declined 0.3 percent to 579 units.
Kia Executive Vice President said: "The turbocharged 3.3-liter gasoline model will be shipped to the U.S. from September and to other markets, such as the Middle East, from October."
