Kia ends 2021 with 6.5% sales growth

Kia has turned in its 2021 sales numbers and announced a 6.5-percent increase from last year.

The South Korean car company sold 2,777,056 vehicles in 2021 with the Kia Sportage ranking first in the carmaker’s global offerings with 363,630 units sold. The Kia Sportage is followed by the Kia Seltos with 298,737 units and the Forte sedan (known as the K3 in Korea) with 240,627 units.

Kia achieved growth in total sales last year, thanks to its effective supply chain management strategies and the successful launch of new models, including the Kia EV6.

For 2022, Kia plans to maintain its sales momentum by minimizing the impact of supply chain disruptions with optimized production plans while securing leadership in the global electric vehicle market with its unique electrified mobility lineup.

This year, Kia will introduce several highly anticipated models, such as the Kia EV6 GT and the all-new Niro, reflecting the company's commitment to becoming a sustainable mobility solutions provider.

Kia targets a total sales of three million units globally this year.
