en.Wedoany.com Reported - Kia's electric vehicle sales in the U.S. market showed divergent trends. In May, Kia EV6 sales fell 13% year-over-year, dropping from 801 units in May 2025 to 708 units; meanwhile, sales of the EV9, a sibling model to the EV6, surged from 37 units to 1,647 units, an increase of 43.5%.

Looking at cumulative data for the first five months, EV6 sales declined from 5,195 units to 3,459 units, a drop of 33%. During the same period, EV9 sales rose from 4,095 units to 5,726 units, an increase of 29%. The EV6's market performance contrasts with that of its competitor, the Hyundai IONIQ 5. Both models are built on the same platform, yet their sales trajectories have diverged.

Kia recently lowered the price of the EV6, with reductions ranging from $5,000 to $5,900 depending on the trim. This price adjustment is expected to boost EV6 sales performance. Industry observers predict that the EV6 may achieve positive growth in the second half of the year. After the price adjustment, the EV6's starting price is now lower than that of the comparable Hyundai IONIQ 5, which could help it regain market share.

In the broader market environment, competition in the U.S. electric vehicle market is intensifying. As a key model in Kia's electrification transition, the EV6's subsequent sales performance will attract market attention. Kia stated that it will continue to adjust its product strategy based on market feedback.
