Mr. Atul Sood, Senior Vice-President and National Head, Sales and Marketing, Kia India, commented that this achievement “marks a historic milestone in Kia India’s journey” and is a “testament of the trust of millions of customers”.
Product Portfolio Drives Milestone Performance
The record-breaking performance was driven by strong demand across Kia’s entire product range.
- Kia Sonet led the charge, registering its highest-ever sale of 12,745 units, making it the key contributor to the overall milestone.
- The recently launched Carens Clavis and the Carens Clavis EV accelerated the growth, achieving a combined record of 8,779 units.
- The Seltos, Kia’s flagship SUV, continued to see robust demand with 7,130 units sold.
EV Demand Signals Future-Ready Mobility
The Carens Clavis EV, Kia’s first made-in-India 7-seater mass-premium electric vehicle, was a notable entrant, receiving an encouraging customer response. This model underscores Kia’s growing strength in the sustainable mobility space and validates its direction toward “future-ready, sustainable mobility solutions for India”.
Strong Year-to-Date Growth
The impressive monthly performance contributes to Kia India’s strong Year-to-Date (YTD) figures:
- Kia India has reported a YTD growth of around 10% in 2025.
- The company has sold 236,138 units so far in 2025, compared to 2,15,443 units during the same period last year.
- This steady growth is supported by recent GST reforms that improved affordability, as well as the positive buying sentiment boosted by the festive season.
The company’s success is further supported by localized production, continued investments in network expansion across Tier 2 and 3 markets, digitalization, and India-focused products. Since commencing mass production in August 2019, Kia’s manufacturing facility in Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh, has an installed annual production capacity of 300,000 units.
