Syros Sucess
One of this quarter's key highlights was the launch of the Kia Syros. With its competitive pricing and stretching placement in the segment, the SUV sold 15,986 units within two months of its launch.
March Sales
The Kia Sonet sold the most units in March, followed by the Seltos, Carens, and Syros. The Kia Sonet remains the brand's most successful model, with respectable sales figures since its launch. However, as showcased by its sales in two months, Syros might take away Sonet’s crown in the coming months.
Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, Sr. VP and Head of Sales and Marketing, commented: "Our strong sales growth is a testament to the trust our customers have in Kia’s products and our commitment to delivering world-class mobility solutions. The overwhelming response to the Kia Syros within just two months of its launch reaffirms our understanding of evolving consumer preferences and our ability to cater to them effectively. As we continue to expand our presence and strengthen our portfolio, we remain focused on innovation, quality and customer satisfaction. With this momentum, we are confident of further solidifying Kia’s position as one of India’s most loved auto brands"
Conclusion
Kia’s steady growth in March 2025 highlights its increasing foothold in India’s competitive market. With a nearly 20% year-on-year sales boost and a strong first quarter, the company has shown resilience and adaptability in a dynamic market. The successful launch of the Kia Syros, alongside continued demand for the Sonet and Seltos, further underscores Kia’s ability to align with consumer preferences.
