'차박' 열풍에 대형 SUV 시장 폭풍성장....12만대 판매 돌파
South Korea is seeing a jump in sales of sport utility vehicles this year... in part because people are taking up camping in their cars as a safe form of recreation in the pandemic.
Industry data show sales of large, Koreanmade SUVs came to more than 122thousand as of November.
This is the first time the figure has crossed 100thousand... and is up four fold from 2018.
The increase is partly due to new models being released by local automakers... and people wanting to use their cars more to avoid the virus.
