In February 2026, Kia India truly showcased its strength by selling over 27,600 passenger vehicles, marking a remarkable 10.32 percent increase compared to the previous year. As someone who has followed the South Korean automaker closely, I was particularly impressed by how the division achieved its best ever sales in the domestic market. This milestone was not just a number—it reflects the growing trust of Indian customers in Kia’s diverse portfolio, which includes both internal combustion engine and electric vehicles.
What stood out to me personally was Kia’s robust network of 849 touchpoints spanning 382 cities across the country. Experiencing their customer service firsthand, it’s clear that the company’s reach and commitment are contributing to these record-breaking units sold. The fact that they revealed, announced, and achieved such results in just one month highlights their focus and execution in the Indian automotive space. Twenty seven thousand six hundred units in a single month is not just a number—it’s a testament to the careful planning and strategic expansion by this automaker.
Expanding Presence and Vehicle Portfolio
In February 2026, Kia India recorded impressive monthly sales of 27,610 units of passenger vehicles, showing a strong increase of 2,584 units compared to 2025. This represents a 10.32 percent growth in year-on-year domestic vehicle sales and reflects the growing confidence of customers in the automaker.

The portfolio includes standout models like the Sonnet, Syros, Seltos, Clavis, Carens, Clavis EV, Carnival, EV6, and EV9, catering to different preferences and lifestyles. What I find most remarkable is how Kia balances innovation with accessibility, ensuring both ICE and electric vehicles are available across a wide network. This approach has helped the automaker maintain steady growth and meet the increasing demand for passenger vehicles in the domestic market, making Kia India a prominent player in the industry.
Leadership and Customer-Centric Approach
In February, Atul Sood, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Kia India, highlighted the record performance as a clear testimony to the growing trust of Indian consumers in the brand. The strong response across their portfolio, including the All-New Seltos, Sonet, and Clavis line-up, shows how the company’s strategy and agility allow it to adapt to evolving customer aspirations and the shift toward electric mobility. From my experience observing the market, Kia isn’t just responding to market trends but actively shaping them with innovation, premium design, advanced technology, and a relentless focus on delivering customer value.
