Ssangyong Motor, Total Sales of 8,009 Units Including Domestic and Export in June

4585 Units Domestic Sales, 3424 Units Exported
Surpassing 8000 Units for 4 Consecutive Months

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Ssangyong Motor announced on the 1st that it sold a total of 8,009 vehicles last month, including 4,585 units domestically and 3,424 units for export.

This performance marks the fourth consecutive month since March with sales exceeding 8,000 units, driven by an increase in export volume; however, due to supply constraints of parts such as semiconductors, sales decreased by 5.8% compared to the same month last year.

Nevertheless, despite the recovery in exports, the ongoing parts supply constraints have caused a backlog of shipments exceeding 10,000 units. Due to export-focused operations, domestic sales decreased by 19.9% compared to the same month last year, but maintained an upward trend with a 5.8% increase compared to the cumulative sales of the previous year, sustaining the recovery momentum.

In particular, the new model Torres set a record for the highest number of pre-orders on the first day and surpassed 25,000 units as of the 27th, brightening the sales outlook for the second half of the year.

Most notably, exports, which surpassed 4,000 units last month marking the highest monthly performance in six years, recorded 3,424 units, continuing a significant growth trend of 23.2% compared to the same month last year and 42.7% compared to the cumulative sales.

Ahead of the full-scale launch of Torres, Ssangyong Motor held a ceremony for the first mass-produced vehicle at the Pyeongtaek plant on the 30th, reaffirming its commitment to producing new vehicles of perfect quality.

Ssangyong Motor stated, “Despite parts supply constraints, sales in the first half of the year increased by 18.3% compared to the cumulative sales of the previous year, showing a clear recovery trend,” and added, “We will significantly expand sales volume in the second half of the year through the establishment of a stable mass production system for the new model Torres.”
