The Korean auto giant has been posting consistent growth in sales figures year on year
Kia India has registered a total of 142,139 sales in the first half of 2025, marking an impressive 12.7% growth in comparison to the same time last year. We know that Kia is one of the most successful foreign car marques in India. Ever since commencing operations in our market back in 2019 with the Seltos, the brand has only seen an upward trajectory. Subsequent products like the Sonet and Carens have contributed heavily towards growing sales each month. That has resulted in Kia being the fastest car company to reach 1 million (10 lakh) sales in our market.

My View
Kia has become quite popular among new-age car buyers due to its expanding portfolio. It is offering cars in all major segments to capture a huge chunk of the market share. It distinguishes itself from the rivals by offering affordable luxury. As a consequence, all its products are among the most feature-laden in their respective segments. In fact, it also caters to the high-end spectrum of our market with products like the EV6, Carnival Limousine and EV9. Let us see how well it performs going forward.
