Two millionth unit to roll off the assembly line at Kia Mexico manufacturing plant is a 2025 Kia K4 compact sedan
Production record achieved less than 10 years after starting operations
Vehicles produced in Mexico exported to more than 190 countries
All-new 2025 Kia K4 slated to go on sale later this fall
PESQUERIA, Nuevo Leon, Mexico – August 5, 2024 – Kia Mexico plant celebrated a significant milestone today as the two millionth vehicle – a 2025 Snow White Pearl K4 – rolled off the assembly line at their state-of-the-art facility, which began operations in May 2016.
“Producing two million vehicles in less than ten years is a testament to Kia Mexico’s commitment to the brand,” said SeungKyu (Sean) Yoon, president & CEO, Kia North America, and Kia America. “Kia Mexico is a key factor in Kia’s success, serving as a manufacturing hub for several crucial markets and producing high quality vehicles like the Forte compact sedan, one of Kia America’s best-selling models in the first half of 2024.”
The K4 is the new moniker for Kia’s all-new, next-generation compact four-door sedan. It builds upon its predecessor with new standards for design, technology and roominess, with a powerhouse of standard, segment-above technology, refinement, and class-leading leg room[1] . An available turbocharged engine amps up the fun-to-drive quotient and standard multi-link rear suspension on the GT-Line (2.0 and 1.6 turbo) to offer a responsive driving experience. The K4 will be available in five trim levels: LX, LXS, EX, GT-Line and GT-Line Turbo. The LX, LXS, and EX go on sale later this year, followed by the GT-Line and GT-Line Turbo. The K4 will be exported to more than 190 countries.
