Kia India on Thursday said it recorded its best-ever December since inception, with wholesales of 18,659 units in the month, marking a 105 per cent year-on-year increase from 8,957 units in December 2024, driven by strong customer focus and improved consumer sentiment.

The strong finish capped a steady calendar year for the carmaker, with total wholesales in CY2025 reaching 280,286 units, a 15 per cent increase over 245,000 units sold in CY2024.

Atul Sood, Senior Vice President – Sales and Marketing, said 2025 marked a year of consistent and sustainable growth for Kia India, driven by strategic product actions, including the introduction of the Carens Clavis and Carens Clavis EV, trim optimisation across high-volume models such as the Seltos, Carens and Sonet, and improvements in operational efficiency across sales, service and customer engagement.

The Sonet remained the company’s volume driver, crossing the 100,000-unit sales milestone for the second consecutive year, with the Seltos also contributing significantly to overall volumes. The Carens, Carens Clavis and Carens Clavis EV saw positive customer response during the year, while the Carnival Limousine and EV6 continued to attract buyers in the premium segment.

Looking ahead, Kia expects the recently introduced New Seltos to play a key role in driving growth in 2026, supported by consistent performers such as the Sonet and Carens Clavis range.

During CY2025, Kia India expanded its sales and service network to 821 touchpoints across 369 cities, strengthening its nationwide reach.
