SEOUL, Sept. 20 (Yonhap) -- Kia Corp., South Korea's second-largest automaker, said Sunday its cumulative electric vehicle (EV) sales in the domestic market have surpassed 100,000 units so far this year.

It is the first time an automaker operating in South Korea has reached the milestone in EV sales, the company said.

From January through Sept. 17, Kia's cumulative EV sales reached 100,118 units, more than doubling from 45,518 units during the same period last year, according to Kia sales data.

EVs accounted for 23.8 percent of Kia's total sales of 420,426 vehicles during the period, meaning nearly one in four vehicles sold was an EV.

Kia's EV lineup includes the EV3, EV4 and EV5 sedans, the EV6 and EV9 SUVs, and the purpose-built vehicle (PBV) model PV5.

The maker of the K5 sedan and Sorento SUV unveiled the PV7, its second PBV model, in Germany last month.

Kia plans to initially launch the PV7 Cargo Long and PV7 Passenger Long, both about 5.3 meters long, in South Korea and Europe in the second half of 2027.

"The company will strengthen its leadership in the domestic EV market by expanding its PBV lineup with the PV7," a Kia official said.

首尔，9月20日（韩联社）——韩国第二大汽车制造商起亚汽车公司周日表示，今年迄今为止，其在韩国国内市场的电动汽车累计销量已超过10万辆。

该公司表示，这是韩国汽车制造商首次在电动汽车销量方面达到这一里程碑。

根据起亚汽车的销售数据，从1月到9月17日，起亚汽车的电动汽车累计销量达到100118辆，比去年同期的45518辆增长了一倍多。

在此期间，电动汽车占起亚汽车总销量 420,426 辆的 23.8%，这意味着售出的汽车中近四分之一是电动汽车。

起亚的电动汽车产品线包括 EV3、EV4 和 EV5 轿车，EV6 和 EV9 SUV，以及专用车辆 (PBV) 车型 PV5。

K5轿车和索兰托SUV的制造商上个月在德国发布了其第二款PBV车型PV7。

起亚计划于 2027 年下半年在韩国和欧洲率先推出 PV7 Cargo Long 和 PV7 Passenger Long，两款车型长度均为约 5.3 米。

“公司将通过推出 PV7 来扩大其 PBV 产品线，从而巩固其在国内电动汽车市场的领先地位，”起亚汽车一位官员表示。
