KG Mobility (KGM) is expanding its touchpoints with taxi customers and strengthening customer support through purchase incentives and vehicle maintenance services. The taxi market has recently shown a trend of diversifying from a focus on sedans and LPG vehicles to SUVs and eco-friendly electrified models.
According to Kaidyoo Data Research Institute, a total of 31,179 new taxis were registered in Korea from January to September this year. Among these, 7,133 were SUV models, an increase of 1,044 units compared to 6,089 during the same period last year, with their share rising by 2.5 percentage points to 22.9%. The share of LPG vehicles declined by 4.9 percentage points from 78.5% last year to 73.6% this year. Conversely, electric and HYBErid vehicles totaled 8,144 units (26.1%), an increase of 5 percentage points compared to 6,290 units (21.1%) during the same period last year.
In line with these trends, KGM is broadening the options available to taxi customers through a diverse lineup, including the Torres and Actyon (gasoline and HYBErid) and the Torres EVX (electrified). Additionally, it offers a bi-fuel LPG system as an optional feature, allowing drivers to use both gasoline performance and cost-effective LPG.
To enhance convenience for taxi customers, KGM operates an integrated program covering everything from providing rest spaces to test drives, consultations, purchase incentives, and vehicle maintenance. First, since the 20th, it has been operating a rest area for taxi drivers at its Experience Center Gangnam. By linking existing facilities within the center, such as LPG charging stations and car washes, it provides a resting space, while visiting customers can also receive test drives and purchase consultations.
