Kia has detailed its long-term India strategy at its 2026 Investor Day, revealing plans to introduce 10 new models by 2030, with 8 of these being electrified offerings (hybrids and EVs). This ambitious roadmap aims to significantly scale up the brand's presence in India, targeting over 4 lakh annual sales and a 7.6% market share by the end of the decade. The strategy emphasizes a move beyond incremental updates to a more substantial push into electric and hybrid segments.
Key upcoming models include the Kia Syros EV, expected to share its platform and powertrain with the Hyundai Inster EV, offering various battery pack options. Additionally, the Sorento Hybrid is slated to arrive as a three-row SUV positioned above the Seltos, potentially featuring a 1.6-litre or 1.5-litre hybrid petrol powertrain. The Carnival Hybrid is also confirmed, further diversifying Kia's electrified portfolio in the Indian market.
