Looking ahead to 2026, Kia India remains focused on delivering value-led offerings and strengthening the brand ownership experience to drive steady and sustainable growth in a dynamic market.”

Strong Model Performance Drives Growth

Kia India’s popular compact SUV Sonet crossed the 100,000-unit sales milestone for the second consecutive year, emerging as a key growth driver, supported by sustained demand for the Kia Seltos. Other models in the portfolio, including the Kia Carens, Carens Clavis and the Carens Clavis EV, received a positive customer response during the year.

At the premium end, the Kia Carnival Limousine and the Kia EV6 continued to attract luxury and EV buyers, strengthening Kia’s presence across multiple segments.

Outlook for 2026

Building on the momentum, the new Kia Seltos, introduced recently, is expected to play a pivotal role in driving growth in CY2026, further reinforcing the brand’s position in the highly competitive SUV segment. This growth will be supported by consistent performers such as the Sonet, Carens Clavis and Carens Clavis EV.
