Yueda Kia, the joint venture between Kia Corporation and Yueda Automobile Group, recently disclosed its sales data for May 2025, and the figures are truly remarkable. The company achieved a single – month sales volume of 22,075 vehicles, marking a year – on – year growth of 15.7%. This achievement is a clear indication of the effectiveness of its “parallel development of gasoline and electric vehicles” strategy.
The success can be attributed to the company’s dual – pronged approach in both the fuel – powered and new energy vehicle sectors. In the fuel – powered vehicle segment, the upgraded 2025 Kia Sportage has played a significant role. Launched in April, the new Sportage combines the high – quality heritage of its five – generation model evolution and 32 – year – long history, trusted by nearly 8 million global users. It has been optimized with features like a panoramic sunroof, driver – seat electric adjustment, power – folding and heated exterior mirrors, SVM 360° panoramic imaging, and BVM rear – side imaging, all of which better meet the needs of Chinese consumers.
On the new energy front, the Kia EV5 stands out. As a strategic model produced in China and sold globally, the EV5 has won market recognition with its diverse product matrix and the strategy of adding more features without price hikes. It offers multiple versions with different battery capacities and configurations, catering to a wide range of customer demands.
This robust sales performance not only reflects Yueda Kia’s successful market adaptation but also its ability to meet the diverse needs of Chinese consumers. With this momentum, Yueda Kia is expected to further expand its market share and contribute more to the development of the Chinese automotive market.
In the future, as the company continues to roll out new models and improve its product lineup, it will be interesting to see how it maintains this growth trend in the highly competitive automotive industry.
