Kia attributed this growth to consistent demand for its key models, including the updated Seltos, Sonet and Carens lineup. The recently updated Seltos has been a major contributor, benefiting from design updates, connectivity features and a 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating. The Sonet continued to deliver stable volumes, while the Carens and Carens Clavis catered to family-oriented buyers.

Kia's electric vehicle portfolio is also gaining traction. The Clavis EV has seen encouraging demand, supported by favourable government policies and the company's Battery-as-a-Service initiative. This reflects Kia's ongoing efforts to make EV ownership more accessible in India.

Commenting on the performance, Atul Sood, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, said the record first-half sales highlight growing customer trust in the brand. He added that repeat purchases, particularly upgrades to the new Seltos, underline the strength of Kia's product strategy.
