Kia Georgia Corporation has begun mass production of its new telluride hybrid model with accumulated production exceeding 5 million units.

Kia Georgia Corporation held an event to celebrate the achievement of 5 million cumulative units at its West Point plant in Georgia on February 24 local time. The 5 millionth production vehicle is a 2027 "all-new telluride" hybrid model, the first hybrid to be produced at a Georgia plant.

Kia Georgia Corporation, which first began operations in 2009, has grown into a key production base for the southeastern U.S. auto industry and established itself as a regional representative employment destination. In particular, Telluride, which is entirely produced here, has been raising Kia's brand status by dominating the "North American Tea of the Year" and "World Tea of the Year" in 2020 as a strategic model for the North American market.

The start of hybrid model production is significant in that it further expanded its production portfolio following internal combustion engines and electric vehicles, proving the flexibility and technology of the factory. Yoon Seung-kyu, president of Kia's North American regional headquarters, stressed that the achievement clearly shows Kia's technological progress and future strategy direction.

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, who attended the event, called the achievement the result of a close partnership between the community and the state, noting that telluride is a successful model that is only produced in Georgia. Stuart Countes, head of Kia's Georgia production unit, also expressed pride in creating a new future through the dedication of executives and employees.

Kia plans to actively respond to the demand for eco-friendly cars in the North American market by introducing an all-new telluride hybrid model.
