Kia India just pulled off a Diwali-worthy fireworks display — not in the sky, but on the sales charts. The company achieved its strongest-ever monthly sales since entering India, clocking an impressive 29,556 units in October 2025, a stunning 30% year-on-year growth over October 2024’s 22,735 units.
And no, this isn’t a typo — it’s pure, petrol-electric-powered performance.
Sonet Steals the Show
Leading the charge is the ever-popular Kia Sonet, which roared ahead with 12,745 units, marking its own record-breaking spree. It seems Indians still love their compact SUVs with big personalities and even bigger grilles.
Meanwhile, the dynamic duo — Carens Clavis and Carens Clavis EV — turned the family commute into a celebration of versatility, contributing 8,779 units together. The Seltos, Kia’s flagship SUV and the segment’s benchmark for stylish practicality, added another 7,130 units to the victory parade.
The EV Spark: Carens Clavis EV
The spotlight also shines brightly on Kia’s Carens Clavis EV, India’s first made-in-India 7-seater mass-premium electric vehicle, which has swiftly become the go-to choice for families who want to go green without compromising comfort. Its early success underlines that India’s EV revolution is now not just around the corner — it’s in the driveway.
A Word from the Driver’s Seat
Mr. Atul Sood, Senior Vice-President and National Head, Sales and Marketing, Kia India, couldn’t hide his excitement:
“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. The growing contribution of our EV range validates our direction toward future-ready, sustainable mobility solutions for India.”
Translation: Kia’s not just selling cars — it’s selling a lifestyle powered by design, tech, and that subtle feeling of “I’ve made it.”
Performance That Speaks Volumes
With 236,138 units sold year-to-date, Kia India is cruising along at a 10% YTD growth, outpacing last year’s 215,443 units. The brand’s diverse product lineup, festive sentiment, and the latest GST reforms improving affordability have all fueled this surge — and maybe, just maybe, the irresistible charm of a new car smell helped too.
From Tier 1 showrooms to Tier 3 towns, Kia’s expansion continues to accelerate with localized production, digital retail innovations, and EV-focused growth strategies. With every model, Kia is turning “The Power to Surprise” into “The Power to Outsell.”
So yes, Kia’s October sales weren’t just good — they were Seltos-sonet-clavis-tacular.
