KIA sold nearly 60,000 Tellurides as of August of 2020 with the demand growing continuously. Basha is excited about the 2021 model that is expected to take the brand to new heights. Although KIA is a Korean brand, vehicles are designed and manufactured in the U.S. as well. Specifically, vehicles are assembled in West Point, Georgia. It is the first KIA vehicle to be exported from the United States.
