Kia Motors Corp. has ambitious growth goals for Europe. "In western Europe we will sell about 290,000 units in 2011. In 2013, we want to sell 450,000 units," said the company's vice president, Hyoung-Keun (Hank) Lee, in an interview with Automotive News Europe. Last year, Kia sold 263,000 units in western Europe.

In greater Europe, which includes Russia and the former Soviet republics, Kia aims for sales of 470,000 in 2011, Lee said. "In 2012, we will have the first full year with the Rio and Picanto and half a year with the Cee'd, so it should be no problem at all to sell more than 500,000 units in Europe," he added.
