Also, Hyundai Motor maintained its EV sales momentum by selling nearly 14,000 units in January, led by IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6. The two models sold more than 9,000 units together.
In 2023, the company is aiming for global sales of 4.32 million units, including its Genesis luxury brand, with optimized business strategies tailored for each region. The company aims to sell 3.54 million units in overseas markets and 781,000 units in Korea.
