Kia Carnival – 550
Kia Cerato – 2052
Kia Niro – 36
Kia Optima – 0
Kia Picanto – 609
Kia Rio – 503
Kia Seltos – 1118
Kia Sorento – 542
Kia Sportage – 565
Kia Stinger – 163
Kia Stonic – 986
Until all manufactures can say they are running at full capacity or full required production rates it's virtually impossible to determine where each brand stands based on purely buyer preferences and no hinderance to actual product availability. Only Toyota claims it has no parts shortages.

WOW, I had my theories on why, but that's all be blown out the water because it was the seltos and cerato that did the best.
I would have thought the picanto did better and ford can't beat that. I would have thought the sorento and sportage would have done better because no one knows the everest or escape.
Instead it's because of the KIAs I never heard of anyway as well. Stonic? never heard of it. The cerato? I thought no one buys medium sedans/ hatchbacks anymore in Australia? That's what the media and manufacturers tell me. That's why mits have all but disappeared, nissan, honda, mondeo, commodore too.
