Korea's electric vehicle (EV) exports to the United States plunged nearly 90 percent last year, hit by Washington's auto tariffs and the rollback of subsidies under the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, industry data showed Wednesday. According to the data from the Korea Automobile & Mobility Association, Korea's EV exports to the U.S. totaled 12,166 units in 2025, down 86.8 percent from 92,049 units the previous year. It marks the lowest annual figure since 2022, when EV shipments began gaining momentum. The trend intensified near the end of the year, with Korea exporting just 13 EV units to the U.S. in November alone, logging the lowest monthly figure on record. As a result, the share of U.S. shipments among Korea's total global EV exports shrank to 4.6 percent last year, compared with 35 percent in 2024. Industry watchers expected EV exports to the U.S. to remain sluggish for the time being due to the tariffs and Washington's rollback of related subsidies. "Korean

GIMPO, Gyeonggi Province — The third-generation Peugeot 5008 family SUV has made a striking return with a lively yet composed driving feature that sets the vehicle apart from its rivals. After a decade, the vehicle has undergone a complete overhaul. Stellantis Korea hopes to jump on the booming SUV bandwagon by making the three-row family car its most strategic lineup this year. Peugeot has balanced the essentials of a large family SUV — flexible seating, usability and reasonable fuel efficiency — with a sense of refinement and unique driving dynamics. When the vehicle was taken for a round-trip drive between Gimpo and Incheon, with a distance of some 60 kilometers, the 5008 SUV dispelled the perception that a vehicle of this size would be relatively weak in responsiveness, compared to smaller, more typical sedans. However, the vehicle constantly delivered a breezy driving feel, powered largely by its well-balanced hybrid system. The 5008 SUV is equipped with a 1.2-liter PureTech

Kia has launched its second-generation Seltos compact SUV with a hybrid powertrain, pinning hopes for the vehicle to keep solidifying the carmaker’s leadership in the segment. The fully redesigned Seltos was revealed Friday, marking its first complete overhaul in six years. The model topped domestic compact SUV sales in 2024, buoyed by its competitive pricing and well-balanced driving performance. Kia expects the all-new Seltos SUV to continue the sales winning streak, as the carmaker has now released a hybrid powertrain option for the vehicle. Demand for hybrid cars has remained solid amid the mass adoption of electric vehicles. The carmaker set its sales target of 55,000 units in the home market this year, which Kia said is a “highly achievable” goal. “We will be able to attain the annual sales target, as its commercial value has dramatically improved, particularly with the launch of the hybrid lineup,” an official from Kia said during a media event.
