EV Uptake and SUV Demand Fuel Kia India’s Historic Sales Milestone in October 2025

Sonet led the charge with 12,745 units. Carens Clavis and Seltos followed close behind, helping Kia India post a record 29,556 units in October 2025, its highest-ever sales month, supported by festive demand, SUV popularity and EV adoption.

Kia India recorded its strongest monthly sales since entering the Indian market, clocking 29,556 units in October 2025. This marks a 30 percent year-on-year growth compared to the 22,735 units sold in October 2024.
The performance was led by the Sonet, which contributed 12,745 units. Carens Clavis and Carens Clavis EV together added 8,779 units, while the Seltos contributed 7,130 units. These three models were key to Kia’s record-breaking milestone.

The Carens Clavis EV, Kia’s first locally manufactured seven-seater electric vehicle in the mass-premium segment, has gained traction for its family-friendly layout and sustainable drive, making a notable entry in the Indian EV space.
Commenting on the achievement, Mr Atul Sood, Senior Vice-President and National Head, Sales and Marketing, Kia India, said, “October 2025 marks a historic milestone in Kia India’s journey. This is a testament to the trust of millions of customers who believe in Kia’s promise of innovation and progress. Our diverse product portfolio continues to connect strongly with evolving consumer needs. The growing contribution of our EV range further validates our direction toward future-ready, sustainable mobility solutions for India.”

Kia India has also reported approximately 10 percent Year-to-Date growth with 236,138 units sold in 2025 so far, compared to 215,443 units in the same period last year. According to the company, this growth has been propelled by festive season momentum, a strong SUV lineup, and favourable taxation under revised GST slabs.

Beyond products, Kia’s growth has been supported by its strategic expansion into Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, along with investment in digital platforms and localized manufacturing. The company has also maintained focus on customer-centric innovations, technology upgrades, and overall ownership experience.
Kia India’s latest numbers not only highlight its market competitiveness but also strengthen its positioning as one of the fastest-growing automobile brands in the country.
