The Seltos and Carens also contributed substantially to Kia India's overall performance. Kia India delivered a record-breaking 255,038 vehicles in 2024, a 6% increase from 2023. This achievement was driven by the popularity of models like the Sonet, Seltos, and Carens, alongside network expansion and the successful launch of the Carnival Limousine. The company expanded its reach with new dealerships and CPO outlets, focusing on Tier-I and Tier-II cities. Kia India also saw growth in international exports, solidifying its growing global presence. The company is looking forward to the 2025 launch of the Syros.
