Kia reports that its global vehicle sales in April increased by 8.3 percent year-over-year to 259,524 units. During the first four months of 2023, the company sold 1,027,775 vehicles (up 11 percent year-over-year).<\/p>\n

The South Korean manufacturer is also increasing sales of its E-GMP-based all-electric cars, achieving another decent result.<\/p>\n

In April, the all-electric Kia EV6<\/a> noted 9,421 wholesale sales (closely related to production), which is 30 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

The total number includes 2,694 sales in South Korea and 6,727 export sales. So far this year, export is stable at around 7,000 units per month.<\/p>\n

An interesting thing for us is that another 19 units of the Kia EV9<\/a> appeared in the stats (after the first seven in March), which indicates that the preparations continue. Usually, there is a few months of low number production, before it increases to four digits a month. This model will be produced also in the United States, starting in 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So far this year, Kia EV6 wholesale sales exceeded 36,200 (up 29 percent year-over-year).<\/p>\n

In its monthly sales data report, Kia lists also 4,551 retail sales of the Kia EV6 outside of South Korea, including 1,241 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 4,241 (down 0.7 percent) and 173 (down 70 percent). We don’t have numbers for Kia’s home market.<\/p>\n
