Retail sales In its monthly sales data report, Kia lists also 5,773 retail sales of the Kia EV6 outside of South Korea, The retail sales outside of South Korea of other electric car models - Kia BEV sales last month: • EV6: 5,773 retail sales outside South Korea (9,671 wholesale - 1,894 in South Korea and 7,777 exported) • Niro EV: 4,105 retail sales outside South Korea • Niro Plus EV: 22 retail sales outside South Korea • Soul EV: 161 retail sales outside South Korea • Total*: at least 11,955 (down 4.5% year-over-year) or 4.5% of the total volume *South Korea (EV6) + overseas retail sales data (EV6, Niro EV, Niro Plus EV, Soul EV) Unfortunately, Kia does not report PHEV numbers. For reference, 2030 Goal: 1.6 Million BEVs Annually Kia’s updated 2030 annual sales target is 4.3 million units, of which 1.6 million units will be all-electric vehicles (over 133,000 a month). If achieved, it would mean that all-electric cars will represent 37 percent of the total global volume (plus an additional share for plug-in hybrids and conventional hybrids). As we can see, within seven years, we should see an increase in Kia BEV sales by more than an order of magnitude, compared to 2022. See also

In the past few years, Hyundai and Kia vehicles have skyrocketed to the top of Edmunds’ rankings in some of the most popular vehicle segments. For example, you’ll find a Hyundai or Kia in the top spots for three-row midsize SUVs, midsize sedans, and multiple categories of electric vehicles. This changing of the guard can come as a surprise for car shoppers expecting to see more familiar brands like Chevrolet, Ford, Honda and Toyota. This success isn’t attributable to one single factor, such as short-lived marketing schemes like rock-bottom pricing or unsustainable rebates. Let’s take a closer look at what these sister South Korean automakers are doing well and where they’re still coming up short. Distinctive design First impressions matter, and this holds true when people are shopping for a new vehicle. Hyundai and Kia clearly recognize the importance of standing out in a crowd. Whether it’s a family-friendly SUV with three rows of seating or an electric SUV on the technological cutting edge, a bold exterior draws attention and holds interest. We’ll start with EVs. While they share a platform and electric powertrains, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 take very different approaches to turning heads in the EV market. The Ioniq 5 is all edges and sharp angles, evoking Marty McFly’s time-traveling DeLorean from 1984’s “Back to the Future.” The Kia EV6, on the other hand, is more traditionally handsome with its pointed front end, chunky fenders and sleek tapered tail.

• • It will offer a GT performance model with 576 horsepower and all-wheel drive. • The EV6 should go on sale in the U.S. later this year. Kia has surprised us with a high-performance version of its new electric car, the Kia's performance claims for the GT are impressive: a sprint to 62 mph in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 162 mph. It also features software that is said to to mimic the behavior of a limited-slip differential. Hyundai has not announced any sort of performance version of the related Kia EVs • 2022 Kia EV6 Boasts a Bold, Sleek Design • EV6 Will Be First of 11 New Kia Electric Cars The GT looks a bit different than other EV6s thanks to larger wheels and tires and more aggressive front and rear fascias. Yellow brake calipers match with yellow accents found inside the cabin, and the seats look sporty and aggressively bolstered. There will also be a GT-Line version of the EV6 with similar visual changes as the GT but less powerful drivetrains. Kia The various configurations for the standard EV6 and GT-Line models include a 167-hp one-motor RWD model with a 58.0 kWh battery pack and a 225-hp single-motor RWD and a 320-hp two-motor AWD model with the Long Range (77.4 kWh) battery pack. EPA range figures are 232 miles for the single-motor configuration with the small pack, 310 miles for the more powerful rear-drive EV6 with the larger pack, and 274 miles for the all-wheel-drive variant. We should get more detailed U.S. information for the EV6 within the next few mo...

Kia America COO Steve Center and CEO Sean Yoon met with California Governor Gavin Newsom this month to discuss their concerns, which Center later relayed in an interview with Automotive News published Tuesday: “We will make the EVs, and now we need California to continue effort on infrastructure and consumer education before industry EV volume exceeds capacity and consideration,” Kia COO Steve Center told Automotive News. [...] The state also achieved its goal to hit 1.5 million EV sales by 2025 two years ahead of schedule. But to get to the level of adoption it wants, Center said, the state must do more to advance its charging infrastructure, which includes electricity generation, transmission and dispensing. There are currently 87,707 chargers in California. But according to the California Clean Energy Commission, the state will need 1.2 million public and shared Level 2 and DC Fast chargers by 2030 to support 7.5 million EVs. EV growth will also require improved efficiency at California’s ports and shipping facilities, Center said. He described the ports as a “choking point” for bringing vehicles into the country. “If we cannot improve throughput, we will have to create other pathways into the U.S. market,” he said. “This issue impacts vehicle, parts and manufacturing needs, as well as the consumer.”

The Japanese and Korean automakers are making big strides in the EV market, so the current and upcoming Kia electric cars are quite exciting. More so than a hybrid, they epitomize efficiency and high fuel economy. As the charging network in the USA continues to grow, more and more consumers are showing interest in electric vehicles, so Kia EV cars should see even more sales.

As one of the early adopters of this new technology, all-electric Kia cars are quite well-rounded and there are a few available for purchase already. They also inherit many of the intrinsic qualities of their gas-powered siblings, for better or worse. Pros • Plenty of features from the get-go • Relatively affordable compared to rivals • Spacious and accommodating interiors • Easy-to-use infotainment suites Cons • Questionable material quality • Not as comfortable as some rivals • Aesthetics may not appeal to everyone FAQs Currently, you are only given a choice of several types of SUVs.

Vivid Sydney 2023 is currently in full swing, bringing the Harbour City bursting to life via a smorgasbord of innovative installations and eye-tickling light shows. Each of these injects our chilly winter nights with a welcome vibrancy designed to coax reluctant Sydneysiders out of our hibernation state. However, there’s one attraction this year that stands above the rest, giving Australia its first glimpse at the future of motoring while simultaneously providing a masterclass in the art of design. Yes, the star of this year’s show—apart from the stunning harbour itself—is the Kia Helix, a bold installation designed to showcase the marque’s astonishing Concept EV9. Described by Vivid Sydney as an “animated show set to a crescendo soundscape celebrating a balance of innovation and intuitive, natural design,” the Kia Helix blends futuristic design and organic shapes before unveiling the highly anticipated Concept EV9, an all-electric, seven-seat SUV, through which Kia serves up innovation and cutting-edge design like an all-you-can-eat buffet. Looking at the Future The result of AUD$2 million worth of development, as you take in the Concept EV9’s strong presence, it’s clear that not a cent of that budget was wasted. From its strikingly minimalist design to the interior’s immense sense of space, this one-of-a-kind vehicle (and the polygonal design language used to create it) combines looks and intelligence to create an SUV quite unlike anything you’ve ever seen before On appr...

6 Chevrolet Bolt EUV STARTING AT: $28,795 What's New for 2023? The ballistically quick GT model takes its place atop the EV6 lineup this year, complete with 576 horsepower and an adaptive suspension. A green button on the steering wheel unlocks the propulsion system's maximum potency, which we estimate will be enough to blast the EV6 to 60 mph in as little as 3.2 seconds in our testing. To go along with its enhanced performance, Kia has also added racier interior elements to the GT's cabin, including sport seats and neon green trim. Unfortunately, the additional juice needed to pump out the extra horsepower cuts the GT's driving range estimate to just 206 miles per charge, a significant drop from the maximum 310-mile range of the most efficient model. The Pricing and Which One to Buy $62,925 We're charmed by the top-spec GT, but we figure most EV buyers are more interested in maximum driving range over maximum performance. For those folks, we recommend the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive Wind trim level, not only because it's the most affordable way to get all-weather traction, but also because the dual motors generate a combined 320 horsepower versus the single motor's lower power output. Going with the standard 19-inch wheels also preserves driving range, and the EV6 Wind with all-wheel drive is said to be good for up to 282 miles of driving per charge. 10Best Trucks and SUVs for 2023 • 10Best Trucks and SUVs for 2023 • 2023 Kia EV6: 10Best Trucks and SUVs EV Motor, Power, a...
