Kia India reported a sales growth of 18.3% in April 2025, with 23,623 units sold in the domestic market compared to 19,968 units in April 2024, continuing its upward trajectory in the Indian automotive sector.
The Sonet compact SUV remained the company's best-selling model with 8,068 units, followed by the Seltos mid-size SUV at 6,135 units. The Carens MPV maintained strong demand with 5,259 units, while the recently introduced Syros contributed 4,000 units. The premium Carnival Limousine accounted for 161 units of the monthly total.
Hardeep Singh Brar, Senior Vice President and Head of Sales and Marketing at Kia India, attributed the growth to "the enduring success of the Sonet and the positive market response for the new Syros," adding that the performance reflects growing customer trust in the brand's product excellence.
The company has recorded a 16.2% year-on-year growth in calendar year 2025 so far, following the successful launch of the Syros model. Kia is now preparing to unveil its newest offering, the 'Clavis,' on May 8, which the company claims will set new standards in its segment.
Kia established its manufacturing presence in India in April 2017 with a memorandum of understanding with the Andhra Pradesh government to build a facility in Anantapur District. Mass production began in August 2019, with an installed annual production capacity of 300,000 vehicles.
Since entering the Indian market, Kia has launched seven vehicles: the Seltos, Syros, Sonet, Carens, Carnival, EV6, and EV9. The company has dispatched nearly 1.6 million vehicles from its Anantapur plant, including over 1.2 million domestic sales and approximately 367,000 exports.
Kia has also established itself as a leader in connected car technology in India with more than 450,000 connected vehicles on Indian roads. The automaker currently operates 725 touchpoints across 315 cities in the country and continues to focus on strengthening its nationwide presence.
