Future steps
Kia expects the continuing parts supply shortage to gradually improve in 2023. In line with improving market conditions, the company aims to expand production, launch new competitive vehicles and enhance profitability.
In 2023, Kia will continue to accelerate its electrification efforts and its transition into a sustainable mobility solutions provider by introducing innovative mobility products and services.
The company will continue to expand sales of its all-electric EV6, a model which has been recognized as the 2023 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year in January. Kia will also build on EV sales momentum through the introduction of the EV9, Kia's all-electric large SUV due for its global debut later this year.
With the EV9, Kia will provide an unparalleled EV experience that aims to revolutionize the EV market with its strikingly contemporary exterior and interior design, over-the-air (OTA) update services and level three autonomous driving capabilities.
