Kia America reports 72,147 vehicle sales in the United States in August, which not only is a nine percent increase year-over-year but also the second-best monthly result ever. So far this year, the company sold 537,410 vehicles, which is 16.4 more than in 2022 at this point.<\/p>\n
The strong general sales results are accompanied by even better battery-electric vehicle sales, which according to Kia, increased 100 percent year-over-year (although, without providing an exact number).<\/p>\n
According to the report, in August, Kia sold in the US 2,449 EV6, which was a 33 percent increase year-over-year. That’s also about 3.4 percent of the total volume.<\/p>\n
It suggests that sales of the Kia Niro EV also noted a relatively strong sales result – we can estimate 1,600+ units or so, but we can’t say anything for sure (it’s counted together with the ICE version).<\/p>\n
Eric Watson, vice president, sales operations, Kia America said: “Exceeding 70,000 units for four consecutive months and doubling year-over-year sales of our electrified offerings is proof that Kia is ahead of the competition and delivering highly desirable and innovative models across many of the industry\u2019s largest segments. Kia\u2019s electrified offerings combined with our rugged and capable SUVs have strategically positioned the brand to not only increase our EV market share, but further establish ourselves as the leader in innovative mobility.”<\/em><\/p>\n Kia BEV sales last month:<\/p>\n\n
