Kia stated that “this strong performance during the month was led by the new Seltos, which continued its strong growth momentum by crossing the 10,000-unit sales every month since launched in January. Furthermore, the Sonet remained a strong contributor in the compact SUV segment, benefiting from enhanced accessibility through wider automatic transmission options across petrol and diesel variants. The MY26 Kia Syros has also received an encouraging response from customers, particularly for its refreshed variant strategy, enhanced accessibility to automatic transmissions and stronger overall value proposition.”
Commenting on the performance, Mr. Atul Sood, Senior Vice-President, Sales & Marketing, Kia India said, “Our highest-ever May sales performance reflects the strong alignment of our product portfolio with evolving customer preferences across segments. The continued strong demand for the new Seltos along with Sonet, coupled with the encouraging response to the Carens Clavis, Clavis EV and the MY26 Syros, has helped us sustain our growth momentum. At the same time, recent initiatives like our Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) program are playing an important role in making electric mobility more accessible and practical for customers. As we continue to strengthen our presence across the country, our focus remains on delivering innovative products, premium ownership experiences and technologies that are relevant to the evolving needs of Indian consumers.”
