Recently, Kia announced the sales situation in March and the first quarter, of course, this refers to the sales situation of Yueda Kia, that is, including export figures and domestic sales figures, and finally domestic and foreign sales in March reached 18,665 units, a year-on-year increase of 94.5%, as of the first three months of this year, Kia's domestic and foreign sales were 50,038 units, a year-on-year increase of 76.9%.
Of course, there is no doubt about this, mainly contributed by export sales, although the official appeal did not announce the ratio of the two in March, but it can also be seen through February that Kia's domestic sales figures are only about 1/3 of the total sales, more than 60% are export sales, and the official is also very clear about this, claiming that in 2024, Yueda Kia's domestically produced models will be exported to more than 80 countries. The Kia EV5 model is already being exported to Australia and other countries, while the Sonet, for example, will be exported to Latin American countries such as Mexico, Dominica, and Colombia.
Kia K5 will be exported to Uzbekistan and will aim to achieve an annual export target of 170,000 units. Even as early as 2023, a medium- and long-term development plan for the Chinese market has been formulated, making China an important production area for Kia outside of South Korea, and it is a good thing that Chinese production and sales are sold all over the world, and it can also make a certain contribution to domestic GDP. It is worth looking forward to what kind of performance will be held in the future.
