NEW DELHI: Owning a car is great—until insurance renewals, maintenance reminders, and resale calculations start haunting your calendar. Acknowledging this modern reality, Kia India has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Avis Leasing, further strengthening its Kia Lease Program and expanding its footprint in India’s fast-growing leasing and subscription ecosystem.
This strategic partnership marks Kia India’s third alliance in the leasing space, reinforcing its belief that flexibility is the new luxury. As customers increasingly prefer usage over ownership, Kia is quietly saying, “Why buy the cow when you can lease the milk—and upgrade later?”
Leasing, but Make It Simple
Through the collaboration with Avis Leasing, Kia India aims to offer customers a seamless way to experience Kia vehicles without the traditional ownership baggage. The Kia Lease Program caters to customers with long-term mobility needs, offering flexible tenures ranging from 36 to 60 months, along with multiple mileage options.
The biggest relief? No initial down payment. Add to that bundled maintenance, insurance renewals, and resale-related coverage, and the program promises a worry-free experience that feels more like a subscription to comfort than a car deal.
At the end of the lease tenure, customers can either return the vehicle or smoothly transition to a new Kia model—because commitment is great, but options are better.
What Kia Has to Say
Commenting on the development, Atul Sood, Senior Vice President – Sales & Marketing, Kia India, said the leasing and subscription segment is emerging as a key growth driver for the Indian automotive market. He noted that the partnership with Avis Leasing strengthens Kia Lease as a scalable platform designed to meet evolving customer needs while generating demand beyond conventional ownership models.
In simpler terms: Kia wants customers who prefer flexibility today, upgrades tomorrow, and zero paperwork headaches always.
A Growing Mobility Ecosystem
Kia India first introduced the Kia Lease Program in 2024 to align with changing ownership preferences and long-term mobility requirements of Indian customers. With the addition of Avis Leasing, Kia now has three leasing partners, alongside Orix India and Ayvens India, further solidifying its presence in the leasing and subscription space.
As India’s auto market evolves from “owning assets” to “accessing mobility,” Kia’s expanding lease ecosystem ensures customers can drive a new car without being tied down—financially or emotionally.
