Since its launch in 2019, Kia India has established itself as a prominent name in the automotive industry. Recently, it reached a significant milestone, exporting more than 2.5 lakh units from its Anatapur plant in Andhra Pradesh. With 149,952 units, roughly 59 per cent of these exports are contributed from the Seltos SUV.

Commenting on this initiative, Mr. Myung-sik Sohn, Chief Sales Officer, Kia India said, “Our dedication to quality and innovation has driven us to this milestone. The success of our Made in India vehicles internationally shows our commitment to quality. We’ve quickly become a major market for Kia Corporation and aim to maintain this momentum.
