IRVINE, Calif. — Southern California automaker Karma has expanded its luxury electric vehicle experience to three new cities, including Seattle, Chicago, and Westlake Village, Calif., the company announced. The expansion will increase Karma’s footprint to 15 dealerships.
Executives said the move into new markets is part of the company’s strategic vision led by Karma’s CEO, Dr. Lance Zhou.
“We’ve continued to partner with best-in-class dealers in key markets to serve our luxury customers,” Zhou said. “Each of the new dealerships have rooted history in the luxury automotive segment and will contribute to our continued growth in the U.S. market.”
Karma Seattle is set to open in the Bellevue area next month. Karma Chicago will join the locally renowned Hawk Auto Group and Southern California’s Rusnak Automotive Group will add Karma Westlake to its family of highline stores.
