Kia America reports 58,338 vehicle sales in the United States in November, which is 2.9% more than a year ago, and the best-ever November. So far this year, the company sold 722,176 vehicles (up 14% year-over-year) setting a new annual record with one month remaining in 2023.<\/p>\n

Even more interesting things are happening in the all-electric segment, as Kia started customer deliveries of the all-new three-row SUV Kia EV9. In November, the first five EV9s were sold in the U.S. We guess that it will quickly escalate to double- and triple-digit numbers in the coming months, with a chance for four-digit sales a month in 2024 (it all depends on the supply for South Korea). Kia noted that the EV9 reservation program received deposits from customers in every one of the 50 U.S. states.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, sales of the Kia EV6 more than doubled year-over-year, reaching 1,290 units (up 101%) and about 2.2% of the brand’s total volume.<\/p>\n

Kia reports that its total all-electric car sales increased by 120% year-over-year, without providing a precise total number (the data for the Kia Niro EV\u00a0is not available because it’s counted together with the ICE version). However, knowing the Niro EV’s past sales from a different source, we can estimate that potentially more than 1,100 units were sold in November. This would probably bring the total BEV volume to roughly 2,400 or so.<\/p>\n
