- Surpassed this milestone within 59 months of India's operation
- Seltos contributed over 48 per cent to the overall sales
Kia India is celebrating its fifth anniversary in the country and has announced a huge milestone. The Korean automaker has surpassed 10 lakh unit sales within just 59 months of the commencement of the brand’s operation in India.
The Kia Seltos, model which the automaker entered the Indian market has contributed over 48 per cent to the overall sales. Meanwhile, the Sonet and Carens contributed 34 per cent and 16 per cent, respectively. Currently, the brand has four models including Sonet, Seltos, Carens, and EV6 in India. However, this line-up will soon be joined by a new compact SUV, the Kia Clavis. It is set to make its debut later this year with an early 2025 launch.
Commenting on the milestone, Joonsu Cho, Chief Sales Officer, Kia India, said, 'We have been achieving milestones constantly since our launch in record time. These milestones become even more important when you face diversity at every step of this country and competition from legacy players with more than a decade of experience. Achieving 10 lakh domestic sales is a testament to our continued focus on the Indian market and the need gap of the Indian customers. My heartfelt thanks to all our customers who have shown trust in our brand and made us one of the most loved carmakers in the country.'
