Kia India Announces Price Increase Across All Models Effective April 1, 2025
Kia India has announced a price hike of up to 3% across its entire vehicle lineup, effective from April 1, 2025. This adjustment is attributed to rising commodity prices and escalating supply chain costs.
Official Statement
Hardeep Singh Brar, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Kia India, stated that the company remains committed to providing exceptional value and quality to its customers. However, due to increasing costs of commodities and input materials, a price increase has become necessary. To mitigate the impact on customers, Kia will absorb a significant portion of these increased costs.
Affected Models
The price increase will affect all Kia models available in the Indian market, including:
- Seltos
- Sonet
- Carens
- Carnival
- Syros
- EV6
- EV9
Sales Milestones
Since its entry into the Indian market, Kia has achieved significant sales milestones:
- Seltos: Over 690,000 units sold
- Sonet: More than 500,000 units sold
- Carens: Surpassed 232,000 units
- Carnival: Over 15,000 units sold
These figures contribute to Kia’s cumulative sales of approximately 1.45 million vehicles in both domestic and international markets.
Market Context
Kia’s decision aligns with similar moves by other automakers in India. Both Maruti Suzuki and Tata Motors have announced price hikes for their vehicles, citing increasing input costs and operational expenses as primary reasons.
Conclusion
The upcoming price adjustment reflects the broader industry trend of responding to rising production costs. Kia India continues to focus on delivering high-quality, technologically advanced vehicles while striving to minimize the financial impact on its customers.
