While EV sales fell in the first quarter of 2024 by more than 15% compared to the previous three months — their first drop since 2020 — hybrid sales are booming. But Kia sees hybrids as an opportunity to get potential BEV buyers in the door. AdvertisementBut if you look at the largest and arguably most important segment these days, compact SUVs, hybrids account for nearly one-fifth of sales, Kosowski said. AdvertisementFor Kia, building hybrids instead of EVs affects its bottom line beyond the revenue it generates. EVs cost substantially more to build than ICE and hybrid vehicles.

CHICAGO – Kia Motors is adding a hybrid model to its Carnival minivan to meet increasing consumer demand for the technology and assist in meeting tightening federal fuel economy standards. Hybrids are a growing option for automakers as they strive to make vehicles more efficient and avoid costly federal fuel economy and emissions standards. Hybrid vehicles typically include a traditional internal combustion engine combined with EV technologies such as an electric motor and small battery. They function like traditional vehicles and do not need to be plugged in like EVs or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The Carnival hybrid, announced at the Chicago Auto Show, is expected to go on sale alongside an updated version of the traditional minivan in the summer.

☆ Hyundai and Kia agree to $200 million legal settlement over theft issues
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-18 | by ( Peter Valdes-Dapena | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

New York CNN —Korean automakers Kia and Hyundai have agreed to an estimated $200 million class action legal settlement over claims that many of the companies’ cars and SUVs are much too easy to steal. The settlement, which could cover up to nine million vehicle owners, provides a total of up to $145 million that will be distributed to owners whose vehicles have been stolen to help cover their out-of-pocket losses. Hyundai and Kia operate as separate companies in the United States, but Hyundai Motor Group owns a large stake in Kia, and various Hyundai and Kia models share much of their engineering. Hyundai dealers will also affix window stickers stating that the vehicle has anti-theft software installed. As part of the agreement, installation of the anti-theft software will now be done automatically along with any dealer service appointment without the owner having to specifically request it.

If you're on the fence about electric vehicles, Josh Aviv wants to alleviate one of your top concerns: "range anxiety." That's the nervous feeling EV owners or prospective buyers get when they're concerned that their electric vehicle won't have enough battery power to reach its destination. There are currently more electric vehicles on the road than ever before — with a record 6.6 million sold in 2021, double the previous year's total. SparkCharge has raised roughly $30 million from investors like Mark Cuban, Tale Venture Partners and rapper Pusha-T. The investments currently value SparkCharge at about $110 million, Aviv says.

"The impact of the Inflation Reduction Act on Hyundai's EV sales in the U.S. market seems inevitable as EV incentives are the key factor to U.S. EV shoppers," Lee Jae-il, an analyst at Eugene Investment & Securities. In a mixed outlook, Hyundai raised on Monday its full-year revenue growth forecast range by six percentage points to 19-20% from its previous estimate in January. Reuters GraphicsThe provision, announced last week, amounted to more than half of estimated third-quarter net profit of 2.4 trillion won drawn from 17 analysts. Revenue for the quarter jumped 31% to 37.7 trillion won, above the 36 trillion won analysts had expected. But overall vehicle supply remains tight globally due to the chip shortage and COVID-related restrictions.

☆ Kia, once the ‘value’ brand, now has the biggest price markups
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-27 | by ( Peter Valdes-Dapena | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

CNN Business —Reversing a century of tradition, most cars now sell for over the manufacturer’s sticker price. It isn’t some luxury or performance brand; it’s Kia, the South Korean car brand usually thought of as a value purchase. On average, Kia cars and SUVs are selling for about 6% over their sticker price, according to data from Edmunds.com. Roughly tied for second, at 4% above sticker price on average, are Honda, Hyundai and the luxury SUV brand Land Rover. Kia Motors AmericaAdding to the pressure is that, while manufacturing slowdowns have hit the whole industry, Kia models are especially hard to find.

☆ Apple и Hyundai объявят о партнёрстве в марте, а к 2024 году запустят производство электрокаров

Hyundai Motor и Apple Inc. планируют к марту подписать партнёрское соглашение о совместной разработке автономного электромобиля, который будет производиться в США, сообщила в воскресенье газета Korea IT News. Если соглашение будет подписано, то выпуск Apple Car может начаться «уже в 2024 году в Соединённых Штатах». В минувшую пятницу Hyundai Motor, комментируя появившиеся в сети слухи о её возможном сотрудничестве с Apple в сфере разработки автономных технологий, официально подтвердила факт ведения переговоров с производителем iPhone. Напомним, предыдущие версии слухов о сотрудничестве Apple и Hyundai гласили, что компании намерены выпустить беспилотный электромобиль в 2027 году. После этого из публикации Korea IT News исчезли детали о сроках подписания соглашения, местонахождении и мощности производства, а также о сроках запуска беспилотных автомобилей.

Obiectivul este producţia a 100.000 de vehicule în 2024, la o uzină care ar urma să aibă o capacitate anuală de producţie de 400.000 de vehicule. Korea IT News adaugă că Hyundai şi Apple intenţionează să lanseze o „versiune beta” a unui automobil Apple, în cursul anului următor. Luna trecută, agenţia de presă Reuters informa şi că Apple a făcut progrese în tehnologia maşinilor autonome şi intenţionează să producă, încă din 2024, un autoturism echipat cu propria sa tehnologie inovativă de baterii. Potrivit surselor citate de Reuters, Apple a înregistrat suficiente progrese şi îşi doreşte acum să producă un vehicul pentru consumatori. Strategia Apple se bazează pe un nou model de baterie, care ar putea reduce „în mod radical" costul bateriilor şi ar spori autonomia vehiculelor, susţin sursele.
