New Delhi, April 1, 2026: Kia India has reported its highest-ever monthly sales for March 2026, with 29,112 units sold, marking a 14.5% year-on-year growth over 25,525 units in March 2025. The automaker also achieved its strongest-ever quarterly performance, clocking 84,316 units in Q1 2026, up 11.6% YoY compared to 75,576 units in the same period last year.

The milestone underscores Kia India’s continued growth momentum in the mass-premium segment, driven by sustained demand across its product portfolio.

Seltos Leads Growth Momentum

The company’s performance has been spearheaded by the updated Kia Seltos, which has consistently delivered over 10,000 units in monthly sales since its launch. The SUV’s bold design, advanced ADAS features, and its 5-star Bharat NCAP rating—the highest for an ICE vehicle in India—have reinforced its strong appeal among buyers.

Alongside the Seltos, the Kia Sonet continues to be a key contributor in the compact SUV segment. The model now offers greater accessibility to automatic transmission variants across both petrol and diesel options, starting under ₹10 lakh, enhancing convenience for urban buyers.

Carens Line-Up Adds Premium Appeal

The Kia Carens lineup continues to witness steady demand, supported by the introduction of Clavis ICE and EV variants. With GT-Line and X-Line trims, along with a 6-seater configuration featuring captain seats, the Carens range enhances its premium positioning while retaining its strengths of practicality and versatility.

Leadership Commentary

Atul Sood, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing at Kia India, stated that the company’s best-ever March and quarterly performance reflects sustained demand across its portfolio.

He emphasized that while the Seltos continues to drive momentum, the Sonet and Carens lineup remain consistent volume drivers, supported by continuous product enhancements aligned with evolving customer needs.

Expanding Network and Customer Focus

Kia India has steadily strengthened its market presence with a nationwide network of 862 touchpoints across 390 cities, improving accessibility to sales and service in both urban and emerging markets.

The company also operates 124 Certified Pre-Owned outlets, enabling seamless vehicle exchanges, instant payments, and hassle-free ownership experiences, further enhancing customer convenience.

Outlook

With record-breaking monthly and quarterly sales, Kia India is well-positioned to sustain its growth trajectory in 2026. The company plans to build on this momentum through new product interventions, strategic expansion, and a continued focus on customer-centric innovation, reinforcing its position in India’s competitive automotive market.
