Kia India Reaches 100 Certified Pre-Owned Outlets Milestone

In a major boost to India’s growing pre-owned automobile segment, Kia India has announced the inauguration of its 100th Kia Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) outlet, becoming one of the fastest automotive OEMs in the country to achieve this feat—within just three years of launching its CPO program.

The landmark moment underlines Kia’s rapid growth and strategic focus on creating long-term value for customers through a high-quality, transparent, and digitally empowered pre-owned vehicle ecosystem. With a presence now in over 70 cities, Kia’s CPO network accounts for nearly 60% of the brand’s total retail footprint in India, reflecting the strong consumer demand for certified, reliable used vehicles.

Designed to deliver a near-new ownership experience, Kia’s Certified Pre-Owned program offers industry-leading benefits, including warranty coverage of up to 2 years or 40,000 km, along with four complimentary periodic maintenance services. These features make Kia’s CPO initiative one of the most customer-centric and comprehensive certified used car programs in the Indian market.

Commenting on the achievement, Joonsu Cho, Chief Sales Officer, Kia India, said,

“Crossing the 100-outlet milestone for our Certified Pre-Owned network in under three years is a strong testament to the trust customers place in the Kia brand. Our CPO business has quickly evolved into a strategic growth driver—built on quality, reliability, and the confidence of owning a vehicle that lives up to Kia’s new car standards. With our premium outlet design and a seamless digital journey, we are reshaping the pre-owned car experience for today’s customer.”

Every vehicle sold through Kia’s CPO network undergoes a stringent 175-point quality inspection, and only those with less than 1,00,000 km on the odometer, no structural damage, and a verified ownership and service historyare eligible for certification. The vehicles are refurbished using genuine Kia parts to ensure quality and long-term reliability.

Kia’s CPO program is also more than just a resale platform—it functions as a full-service ecosystem. The outlets facilitate buying, selling, and exchange of pre-owned cars from any brand, offering customers complete flexibility. Powered by Kia’s proprietary vehicle evaluation app, the process is fully digital and ensures fair, fast, and transparent assessments. Customers also benefit from instant payments, secure ownership transfers, and tailored finance options, making the entire journey smooth and worry-free.

Amit Sagar, Executive Vice President, CV Domestic Business and Retail Finance at Kia India, emphasized the business value of the initiative, stating,

“The pre-owned electric and ICE passenger vehicle segments are evolving rapidly. Buyers today are seeking more than just affordability—they want assurance, durability, and convenience. Our Apé E-City Ultra and FX Maxx models were built with these needs in mind, and our growing CPO network is designed to complement that demand.”
