Kia reports that its global vehicle sales in November increased by 1.7% year-over-year to 260,227 units. After 11 months of 2023, the South Korean brand sold 2,872,092 vehicles (up 7.7% year-over-year).<\/p>\n

These positive numbers are accompanied by even better sales results for all-electric cars, which proves that the brand’s electrification is in full swing.<\/p>\n

Kia’s EVs have been a major success story for 2023<\/p>\n

While other “legacy” automakers often struggle with all-electric car production, Kia has had a great year of sales\u2014and more models are coming soon. The top models for the company right now are the EV6 and EV9.<\/p>\n

Last month, the wholesale shipments (closely related to production) of Kia’s E-GMP-based models amounted to 16,916 (up 118% year-over-year), which is an all-time record.<\/p>\n

It’s also worth noting that the vast majority of Kia’s production in South Korea was exported (over 15,000 EV6 and EV9).<\/p>\n

Kia reports wholesale sales (on the manufacturer level or plant sales)\u2014unless otherwise specified, the numbers are unaudited and on a preliminary basis.<\/em><\/p>\n

The wholesale shipments of the all-new Kia EV9 amounted to almost 8,456 units, which is a record and, interestingly, a slightly higher result than in the case of the Kia EV6 (8,108 units).<\/p>\n

On top of that comes the newly launched Kia EV5 (352 units), which is produced and currently offered only in China. It’s not clear whether the EV5 will ever be introduced in the U.S., but we can safely assume that at some point, we will see a compact, E-GMP-based SUV from Kia in North America, too.<\/p>\n
