KIA AMERICA CONTINUES “SHIFT” TO STRONG ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE SALES

05/03/22 ID: 18839

Best-Ever April Sales Total for Kia’s Electrified and EV Models

All-New Sportage Sales Increased More Than 40-Percent Year-Over-Year, Achieving Best-Ever April Sales

Brand Achieves Historic 10 Millionth Vehicle Sold in the U.S.

IRVINE, Calif., May 2, 2022 – Kia America today announced April sales of 59,063 units, marking the brand’s best-ever April sales total for EV models and pushing the total number of Kia vehicles sold in the U.S. past the 10 million mark. In addition, the Sportage SUV, now in its 5th generation as the brand’s longest running nameplate, achieved its best-ever April sales total with 11,380 units sold.

Overall electrified models recorded fourth consecutive same-month sales record, with EV sales reaching 14th consecutive same-month sales record and surpassing the April 2021 mark by over 480-percent.

Kia America also registered its 10 millionth sale in the US since deliveries to buyers began in 1993. Additional details on this historic achievement will follow later this month.

“Kia’s proud history and exciting future are both on display this month as we mark the 10 millionth Kia vehicle sold in the U.S. at the same time that we are experiencing an increase in sales of our electrified vehicles - all in spite of the challenges facing the industry overall.” said Eric Watson, vice president, sales operations, Kia America. “Our enduring success with electrified models, coupled with a strong start of sales for the all-new 5th generation Sportage SUV, solidifies Kia’s leadership position in two of the most popular and important segments in today’s market.”

  • Debut of the refreshed Telluride SUV and all-new hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery electric Niro models at the New York International Auto Show
  • Kia secured the naming rights and became official automotive partner of the Kia Forum, the only arena-sized venue in the U.S. dedicated to music and entertainment.
  • The Kia Carnival MPV was named “Family Vehicle of the Year” by AutoGuide. Carnival MPV was recognized as the top family vehicle due to its impressive interior capacity, extensive safety features, and modern design

we've had the discussion before about whether hyundai/genesis/kia sales can be considered together (like GM)... since i think it's fair to, we see h/k/g at 35% higher volume than honda/acura. and toyota/lexus is 100% higher!!!

Motorola, what's the source for that chart?

It's from Automotive News:

https://www.autonews.com/sales/april...gain-chip-woes

At this point, it's a test of which manufacturer has the most solid supply chain. I'm not surprised Hyundai-Kia are managing it better than Honda since they have a much larger global presence, while Honda has almost none outside of North America.

I'd like to see Nissan's numbers for last month because so far they've been doing even worse than Honda.
