New Syros Steals the Spotlight
The newly launched Kia Syros emerged as a dark horse, contributing 5,425 units (21.6% of total sales) within its debut month.

New Kia Syros
Core Models: Mixed Fortunes
- Sonet’s Decline: The subcompact SUV retained its title as Kia’s bestseller but saw a 16.52% YoY drop (7,598 units vs. 9,102 in 2024). Rising competition and anticipation of updates may have impacted demand.
- Seltos’ Steady Climb: The midsize SUV grew 2.89% YoY (6,446 units), bolstered by its reputation for reliability. The upcoming next-gen Seltos, already in testing, could rejuvenate its appeal.
- Carens’ Consistency: The MPV grew 10.06% YoY (5,318 units), underscoring its family-friendly appeal. A facelifted version is expected later this year.
Global Footprint: Exports Reflect ‘Make in India’ Prowess
Kia exported 2,042 units of India-manufactured vehicles to 70+ countries in February 2025. This global reach not only diversifies revenue streams but also reinforces India’s role as a hub for quality automotive production.
Leadership Insights: Innovation Drives Growth
Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, Kia India’s Senior VP of Sales and Marketing, attributed the growth to customer-centric innovation:
“Our strong YoY growth is fueled by the Syros’ stellar debut and sustained demand for the Seltos and Carens. With 46% of Syros buyers opting for top variants, it’s clear that Indian consumers prioritize advanced features and design. We remain committed to introducing cutting-edge mobility solutions.”
What’s Next for Kia India?
- New-Gen Seltos: Spied in camouflage, the updated SUV will likely debut sharper styling, enhanced tech, and hybrid options.
- Carens Facelift: Expected to refine its design and add connectivity upgrades.
- EV6 Facelift Deliveries: Bookings for the electric EV6 have commenced, with deliveries starting in Q2 2025.
Final Thoughts
Kia India’s February 2025 performance underscores its agility in balancing legacy models with fresh launches. While the Sonet faces headwinds, the Syros’ instant success and steady contributions from the Seltos and Carens paint a promising picture. With electrification and global expansion in focus, Kia is poised to accelerate its dominance in 2025.
Trending Takeaways:
- SUV Demand: Compact and midsize SUVs drive 60% of Kia’s sales.
- Premiumization: High-end variants gain traction (e.g., Syros).
- Electric Shift: EV6 facelift to tap into India’s budding EV market.
