Kia India continues to make significant inroads in the Indian automobile market with impressive sales figures for the year to August 2024. The company recorded a year-on-year growth of 17.19% with sales of 22,523 units compared to 19,219 units in August last year. This significant growth reflects Kia’s growing popularity among Indian customers, especially with the new Sonet emerging as the best performing model.
The Kia Sonet was a major contributor to this success, with 10,073 units sold in August alone. It was followed closely by the Kia Seltos, which sold 6,536 units. The Kia Carens also performed strongly, with 5,881 units sold, while Kia’s electric car, the EV6, sold 33 units. These figures highlight Kia’s ability to cater to a wide range of customer preferences, from compact SUVs to family cars and luxury electric vehicles.
On the export front, Kia’s commitment to the ‘Make in India’ initiative continues to bear fruit, with 2,604 vehicles exported in August 2024. This further solidifies Kia’s position as a key player in the domestic and global automotive markets.
Commenting on the company’s performance, Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, Senior Vice President and National Head, Sales & Marketing, Kia Motors India said, “Our continued strong sales performance underscores the trust that customers have in the Kia brand. This achievement is the result of our strategic focus on offering vehicles that are not only value for money but also cater to the evolving needs and aspirations of our customers. We remain committed to expanding our presence across the country.”
Looking ahead, Kia India has exciting plans to launch its global models, World Car of the Year EV9 and the new Carnival in the Indian market soon. The brand recently celebrated a major milestone of 1 million units sold in just 59 months of operations in India. Kia India continues to set new benchmarks in safety, design and innovation, reinforcing its position as a leader in the automotive industry.
