Electric vehicles (EVs) from Kia are currently available in the global market, but we don’t get them here yet. Kia Sonet: Better equipped for the price than many of its rivals and even larger SUVsįor now, SUVs and people carriers, both lucrative segments in India, are the bread-and-butter for Kia. Kia Seltos: Tech loaded SUV in its segment In late 2021 Kia introduced a ‘recreational vehicle’ (RV), the Carens three-row people carrier. It can seat anywhere from 7 to 9 people, and it slots above the Toyota Innova in the market. People carriers: The Carnival was Kia’s first people mover in India. For the Sonet, India’s sub-4m SUV segment is teeming with rivals such as the Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, and Mahindra XUV300. The former rivals 5-seater SUVs such as the Hyundai Creta, Skoda Kushaq and VW Taigun. SUVs: The Seltos and sub-4m Sonet form Kia’s SUV front. Since then, the automaker has introduced vehicles at multiple price points – a full-size people carrier, a more affordable alternative to the Seltos, the smaller Sonet SUV, and a smaller MPV. It was launched in the lucrative compact SUV segment that allowed Kia to price the car well in India. The Seltos was Kia’s debut car in 2019, based on the SP2 SUV concept that was globally unveiled in India at Auto Expo 2018. It has been in India for barely four years, but already, it’s a mainstream carmaker with multiple models on sale. Kia Motors set up a manufacturing facility to build cars in India in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, in 2017. Since then, it has become a globally renowned carmaker under its parent company, Hyundai.
It started out in 1944 as a bicycle manufacturer and graduated to producing cars in the 1980s. Korean automaker Kia has a long history of producing global cars for sale in Europe and other countries.
