Domestic Sales Down 4.6% Year-on-Year



KG Mobility (KGM) announced on May 4 that it sold a total of 9,512 units last month, including 3,382 units in the domestic market and 6,130 units for export.


This represents an increase of 6.5% compared to the same month last year and a year-to-date increase of 4.7%, driven by a rise in export volume, including models such as the Musso.

Total exports rose by 13.8% year-on-year, surpassing 6,000 units for the first time in four months since selling 7,000 units in December of last year, mainly due to increased Musso sales.


By model, the Musso, which began its global market launch last month, recorded 1,336 units, while the Torres EVX posted 1,830 units, leading the upward trend.


Domestic sales fell by 4.6% year-on-year due to a decrease in sales volume.


KGM is strengthening its response not only in the export sector, which continues to show upward momentum, but also in the domestic market to boost overall sales volume.


On April 28 and 29, KGM hosted a global Musso launch and test drive event in Turkiye, its largest export market, inviting overseas dealers and journalists from 31 countries. In early April, the company also held a launch and test drive event for the Actyon Hybrid in the German market.


In March, Chairman Kwak Jaeseon met with Kim Long Motors, KGM's KD partner in Vietnam, to inspect production sites and discuss detailed cooperation measures, accelerating the company's push into global markets.



A KGM official stated, "As the Musso has received positive feedback not only in the domestic market but also at last month's global launch event, we will further increase sales volume by expanding launches in each export market and strengthening cooperation with local dealers."
