The company registered 17.19% year-on-Year growth, selling 22,523 units compared to 19,219 units in August of the previous year.

These numbers underscore Kia’s ability to cater to a wide range of customer preferences, from compact SUVs to family vehicles and luxury electric cars.
On the export front, Kia’s commitment to the ‘Make in India’ initiative continues to bear fruit, with 2,604 units exported in August 2024. This further solidifies Kia’s position as a key player in both the domestic and global auto markets.
Commenting on the company’s performance, Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, Senior Vice President and National Head of Sales & Marketing at Kia India, stated, “Our sustained strong sales performance highlights the trust our customers have in the Kia brand. This achievement is a result of our strategic focus on delivering vehicles that are not only value for money but also meet the evolving needs and aspirations of our customers.

Looking ahead, Kia India has exciting plans with the upcoming launches of its global models, the World Car of the Year EV9 and the new Carnival, in the Indian market.
