Mumbai, India, Apr 1: Kia India, one of the country’s leading mass-premium automakers, announced its best-ever sales performance for the month of March at 29,112 units, registering a robust 14.5% y-o-y growth over 25,525 units sold in March 2025. The company also delivered its strongest-ever quarterly performance, with Q1 2026 sales at 84,316 units, registering an 11.6% increase over 75, 576 units in Q1 2025.
Mr. Atul Sood, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Kia India, said, “We delivered our best-ever March sales and strongest-ever quarterly performance, driven by sustained demand across our portfolio. The new Seltos, backed by its 5-star BNCAP rating, continues to lead momentum, while Sonet and Carens line-up remain steady volume drivers with continuous enhancements aligned to evolving customer needs.”
This milestone reflects Kia India’s steady growth trajectory, supported by a well-rounded product portfolio that continues to resonate across segments.
Kia India’s performance is led by strong demand across its portfolio. The new Seltos drives growth momentum by consistently achieving over 10,000 units in monthly sales since launch, reflecting strong customer preference and sustained demand. Its bold design, advanced ADAS features and the benchmark-setting 5-star BNCAP rating—India’s highest-scoring ICE vehicle to date— further strengthens its market position as a premium family SUV. The Sonet remains a key contributor in the compact SUV segment, now offering wider accessibility to automatic transmission across petrol and diesel variants from under ₹10 lakh, enhancing accessibility and everyday convenience. Additionally, the Carens line-up continues to see steady traction, with the Clavis ICE and EV adding a more premium appeal through GT-Line and X-Line trims, along with a 6-seater layout featuring captain seats, while retaining its core strengths of practicality, comfort and versatility.
Over the years, Kia India has steadily evolved from a new entrant into a trusted mobility partner for customers. The company’s consistent focus on advanced safety, premium features, and a holistic ownership experience has played a pivotal role in building long-term customer confidence. Importantly, evolving customer feedback has actively shaped product enhancements, driving higher repeat interest and customer progression within the brand.
Looking ahead, Kia India is well-positioned to drive this growth trajectory through a planned mix of new product interventions and strategic market expansion, while continuing to deliver future-ready mobility solutions anchored in a strong customer-centric approach.
With a robust nationwide network of 862 touchpoints across 390 cities, Kia India continues to strengthen its presence enhancing accessibility to sales, service and ownership support across both urban and emerging markets.
