Kia’s global sales increase in 2022

Kia revealed that its  global sales for 2022 increased by 4.6 percent. The company sold more than 2.903 million vehicles last year.

In Korea, Kia sold 541,068 units while 2.362 million units were retailed outside the country in 2022.

By model, the Kia Sportage sport utility vehicle (SUV) topped the 2022 global sales ranking with 452,068 units, followed by Seltos with 310,418 units and Sorento with 222,570 units.

Per Kia, the brand achieved this growth last year thanks to the efficient supply chain management strategies and successful launches of the all-new Niro and the 2024 Seltos. Additionally, the all-electric EV6 demonstrated Kia’s competitiveness in the global electric vehicle (EV) market as it had a total sale of nearly 80,000 units.

In 2023, Kia is targeting global sales of 3.2 million units. By region, Kia expects to sell 585,120 units in Korea and 2.61 million vehicles overseas.

Further, the company will also look to strengthen its leadership position in the global EV market with its unique electrified mobility lineup. This year, Kia is set to introduce several highly-anticipated models, such as the EV9 SUV, helping the company achieve its goal of becoming a sustainable mobility solutions provider.
