This comes on the back of intelligent product strategy that brings to the market what the market wants. And with a company like Hyundai to depend on, Kia India has swiftly climbed the sales order. And now goes on to report sales numbers that are almost at half the cars Hyundai India sells each month. Progress has been vigorously stable.
Hardeep Singh Brar, Vice President and Head of Sales & Marketing, Kia India said, “The demand that all Kia products have managed to generate in the Indian market, signifies exciting times for the brand. It tells us that our product strategy was right on point since the very beginning. We have already crossed the 2 lakh sales mark in CY 2022 and with two months still remaining, we are confident of ending the year on an unprecedented high.”
He added, “With consistent strong sales for successive months throughout the year, Kia India has truly established itself as a force to reckon with in the Indian automobile industry. 35% y-o-y YTD growth over 2021 shows the growing affinity for Indian consumers for the Kia brand. A strong market response to EV6 shows the strength of brand Kia in the premium & luxury space as well.”
