Kia reports that its global vehicle sales in January increased by 9 percent year-over-year to 232,437 units. That’s a pretty strong start to the year and a continuation of the rebound trend, which started in mid-2022.<\/p>\n

The South Korean manufacturer is also expanding sales of its E-GMP-based all-electric cars. Last month, the all-electric Kia EV6<\/a> noted 6,919 wholesale sales (closely related to production), which is 8.5 percent more than a year ago.<\/p>\n

Kia reports wholesale sales (on the manufacturer level or plant sales), unaudited and on a preliminary basis.<\/em><\/p>\n

An interesting thing is that the data indicate zero sales in South Korea (all\u00a06,919 units are export sales). We can’t say why it’s like that, but January 2022 was slow as well.<\/p>\n

In its monthly sales data report, Kia lists also 3,913 retail sales of the Kia EV6 outside of South Korea, including 1,110 in the US<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The other electric car models – Kia Niro EV<\/a> and Kia Soul EV<\/a> – noted another year-over-year decrease in retail sales outside of South Korea: respectively 4,127 (down 24 percent) and 222 (down 58 percent). We don’t have numbers for Kia’s home market.<\/p>\n
