Mumbai, INDIA : Kia India, a leading mass-premium carmaker, concluded Calendar Year (CY) 2025 on a strong note, registering total wholesale volumes of 280,286 units—marking a 15% annual growth over 245,000 units sold in CY 2024. This consistent performance underscores company’s focused customer centric approach, continuous product innovations, sustained customer demand and a supportive market environment.

The year ended on a positive note, recording the best-ever December since inception with sales of 18,659 units, translating into a 105% Year-On-Year growth compared to 8,957 units in December 2024, driven by the strong customer focus coupled with the improved consumer sentiments.

Commenting on the performance and outlook, Atul Sood, Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing said, “2025 was a year of consistent and sustainable growth for Kia India, driven by strategic product introductions like the Carens Clavis and Carens Clavis EV, trim optimization across key mass-selling models including the Seltos, Carens and Sonet; operational efficiencies, and continuous improvements across sales, service, and customer engagement. Supported by favourable macroeconomic conditions and government policies, including a consumer-friendly GST framework, these initiatives reinforced positive consumer sentiment.” He further added, “Looking ahead to 2026, Kia India remains focused on delivering value-led offerings and strengthening the brand ownership experience across its product portfolio to drive steady, sustainable growth in a dynamic market environment.”

The company’s popular model Sonet, which crossed the 100,000-unit sales milestone for the second consecutive year, was supported by Seltos and contributed significantly to overall sales. The other models in the portfolio – Kia Carens, Kia Carens Clavis and the Kia Carens Clavis EV witnessed a positive customer response while the premium Kia Carnival Limousine and EV6 continued to attract luxury car buyers around the year. 

Building on this momentum, the recently introduced New Kia Seltos is poised to play a pivotal role in driving growth in 2026, further reinforcing the brand’s position in the highly competitive SUV segment. This will be further supported by the consistent performers Sonet, Carens Clavis and Carens Clavis EV. 

Kia India also strengthened its footprint across the country during CY 2025, expanding its network to 821 touchpoints through 369 cities. The wider reach enhances customer accessibility across markets and supports sustained growth through a stronger sales and service ecosystem.

With a strong foundation, an enhanced product portfolio, and a clear roadmap for the future, Kia India is well positioned to build on its momentum and pursue profitable, responsible and sustainable growth in 2026.
