TL;DR
Kia India has recorded its highest-ever sales, surpassing previous annual records, and is set to launch the all-new Seltos SUV in January to further boost its market presence.
Kia Corp. has achieved its strongest-ever sales performance in India, solidifying the country as a critical market for its global growth strategy. The South Korean automaker sold 261,627 vehicles in India during the first 11 months of this year, an increase of 10.8% compared to the same period last year. This figure already surpasses the company's previous annual record set in 2022, with full-year sales for 2025 projected to approach 280,000 units.
The impressive sales figures underscore the growing demand for Kia vehicles in India. The company is now gearing up to launch a fully redesigned version of its global bestseller, the Seltos compact SUV, in January. Mass production of the all-new Seltos has already commenced at Kia's Anantapur plant in Andhra Pradesh, marking the first complete redesign for the model since its debut in 2019.
This strategic move aligns with Hyundai Motor Group's intensified focus on India, having recently established it as a separate operational region to allow for more tailored strategies and faster decision-making in the rapidly expanding market. With the introduction of the new Seltos, industry officials anticipate further growth in Kia's market share in India.
