Kia’s consistent double-digit growth tells me one thing, the brand has firmly cracked the Indian mass-premium formula. With the new-gen Seltos, Sonet and the expanding Carens lineup, Kia is intelligently positioned in the country’s highest-volume SUV and MPV segments. What stands out to me is its sharp focus on feature-loaded offerings, something Indian buyers actively prioritize today. Sustaining over 27,000 monthly sales reflects not just strong products, but a well-calibrated pricing and positioning strategy in an increasingly competitive market.
