Kia India Announces Up to 3% Price Hike Across All Models Starting April 2025
New Delhi: Kia India has announced a price hike of up to 3% across its entire vehicle lineup, effective from April 1, 2025. This decision is primarily driven by the increasing costs of commodities and challenges related to the global supply chain.
The price adjustment was explained by Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, Sr. Vice President – Sales and Marketing at Kia India. He stated, “Due to rising costs of raw materials and input materials, we are implementing a price increase of up to 3% across all our models, effective April 1, 2025. While we understand that price hikes can be challenging, this decision was made to help us manage the rising costs while continuing to deliver the quality and advanced technology that our customers expect. We are absorbing a significant portion of these increased costs to minimize the impact on our customers.”
This move comes amid a challenging global economic environment where raw material prices and logistical expenses have surged. Kia’s decision aims to address these ongoing pressures, while ensuring it remains capable of providing technologically advanced and reliable vehicles to its customer base.
Kia India has achieved significant sales figures since its inception, with a total of 1.45 million units sold across both domestic and international markets. Among its most popular models, the Kia Seltos stands out with over 690,000 units sold, making it the brand’s best-seller. The Kia Sonet follows with over 500,000 units sold, and the Kia Carens has surpassed 232,000 units. The Kia Carnival, a premium MPV, has also seen notable success with more than 15,000 units sold.
Despite the price hike, Kia has made efforts to reduce the impact on its customers by absorbing a considerable portion of the cost increases. The company’s focus remains on providing customers with high-quality, value-driven vehicles, even as it navigates the challenges posed by the global supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures.
