Kia India achieved its strongest-ever November sales performance, registering a robust 24% year-on-year growth with 25,489 vehicles sold in the month, up from 20,600 units in November 2024. The company announced the figures on December 1, 2025, attributing the surge to sustained festive-season demand that extended into the post-Diwali period, coupled with growing consumer preference for its refreshed product lineup. Models such as the Sonet, Seltos, and Carens continued to drive volumes, collectively accounting for the bulk of dispatches, while the recently updated EV6 electric vehicle also contributed to the positive momentum. This marks Kia’s third consecutive month of double-digit growth, reinforcing its position as one of the fastest-growing mainstream carmakers in the country.

Atul Sood, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Kia India, hailed the milestone as evidence of deepening brand affinity among Indian buyers. “Delivering our best-ever November performance is a testament to the growing affinity for Kia among Indian consumers. The festive period not only boosted market sentiment but also validated the strong desirability of our products,” Sood stated. He further credited a supportive policy environment—including stable fuel prices and continued infrastructure development—as well as rapid advancements in Kia’s retail network, which now spans over 350 touchpoints across 200 cities. The company also highlighted enhanced financing schemes and attractive exchange bonuses introduced during the festive window as key enablers of the sales uptick.

The November results bring Kia India’s year-to-date domestic sales to over 235,000 units for calendar year 2025, maintaining a healthy growth trajectory despite a moderately cooling passenger vehicle market. Exports remained steady at around 3,500 units for the month, primarily destined for Middle Eastern and Latin American markets. Industry analysts note that Kia’s focus on feature-rich SUVs at competitive price points, combined with aggressive localization that keeps input costs in check, has helped it capture a larger share of the highly competitive compact and mid-size SUV segments, where it now commands nearly 10% market share.

With the festive boost fading, Kia India is gearing up for a strong finish to 2025 by rolling out year-end offers and preparing for the launch of the updated Carnival MPV early next year. The company expressed optimism about sustaining momentum into 2026, supported by new product introductions and an expanding electric vehicle portfolio. As the Indian automotive sector looks toward a projected 6-8% growth for the full year, Kia’s November performance underscores the enduring appeal of premium-yet-accessible offerings in a market increasingly favoring SUVs and crossovers.
