Kia India Expands Assured Buyback Programme Across ICE, Hybrid and EV Models

New Delhi, India, October 9, 2026: Kia India has expanded its Assured Buyback Programme across its internal combustion engine (ICE), hybrid and electric vehicle (EV) portfolio, offering eligible customers an assured residual value of up to 75% for ICE models and up to 70% for EVs after three years.

Announced on October 9, 2026, the programme aims to provide greater certainty around vehicle resale value and simplify the process of exchanging or upgrading to another Kia vehicle. By establishing the assured future value at the time of purchase, the initiative is designed to help customers plan their vehicle ownership costs and future upgrades with greater confidence.

The programme covers Kia India’s portfolio, including the Sonet, Syros, new Seltos, Carens, Carens Clavis and Sorento, across applicable powertrain options such as petrol, diesel, CNG, hybrid and electric.

Kia Assured Buyback Programme: Tenure and Mileage Options

Kia India is offering flexible tenure and annual mileage options under the expanded Assured Buyback Programme, allowing customers to choose a plan according to their driving requirements and intended ownership period.

For ICE models, customers can select tenure options of three, four or five years. EV buyers can choose between three- and four-year plans. Annual mileage options of 10,000 km, 15,000 km and 20,000 km are available, with coverage extending up to 1,00,000 km over the ownership period.

The programme’s key benefits include:

• Assured residual value: Up to 75% for eligible ICE models and up to 70% for eligible EVs after three years.
• Flexible ownership tenure: Three, four or five years for ICE models and three or four years for EVs.
• Multiple mileage options: Annual limits of 10,000 km, 15,000 km or 20,000 km.
• Broad model coverage: Applicable Kia models across eligible powertrain options.
• Simplified upgrades: An assured future value that helps customers plan their next vehicle purchase.

The actual buyback value and eligibility will depend on the applicable programme agreement, vehicle, selected plan and terms and conditions.

Kia India Highlights Resale Value and Ownership Confidence

Commenting on the expansion, Atul Sood, Senior Vice President – Sales and Marketing, Kia India, said customers increasingly seek greater certainty about future vehicle values and convenient upgrade options when making a long-term purchase decision.

He said the expanded programme would allow eligible customers to understand their vehicle’s assured residual value from the outset, helping them plan their ownership journey with greater confidence. The initiative also reflects Kia India’s focus on building long-term customer relationships and delivering value beyond the initial vehicle purchase.

Residual value has become an important consideration for Indian car buyers, alongside vehicle performance, technology, fuel efficiency and overall ownership costs. An assured buyback arrangement can help reduce uncertainty about a vehicle’s future value, although the benefits available to individual customers depend on the programme’s conditions.

How to Enrol in Kia India’s Assured Buyback Programme

The expanded programme will be available through authorised Kia dealer partners. Eligible customers can enrol in the relevant plan when purchasing a vehicle, subject to the applicable eligibility criteria.

At the end of the selected tenure, customers can avail themselves of the assured buyback value in accordance with the programme agreement and its terms and conditions.

With coverage spanning ICE, hybrid and electric models, Kia India aims to offer customers greater flexibility in choosing a vehicle and planning their next upgrade. The expanded programme adds another ownership-focused initiative to the automaker’s efforts to strengthen its presence across India’s mass-premium passenger vehicle market.
