Kia India July 2025 Sales Rise 8% : Kia India continues its upward trajectory in the Indian automotive market, registering notable growth in July 2025. Thanks to the positive response to its newly launched Carens Clavis MPV and its electric sibling, the Carens Clavis EV, the company posted strong year-on-year gains. Let’s break down the highlights of Kia’s performance and future roadmap.
🔼 Impressive July Sales Performance
In July 2025, Kia India recorded domestic sales of 22,135 units, reflecting a YoY growth of 8% compared to the 20,507 units sold in July 2024. This surge in sales has been largely driven by the success of the Carens Clavis range, especially the all-electric version, which has quickly gained traction among Indian EV buyers.
Additionally, Kia exported 2,590 units from its Indian manufacturing base in July 2025 to various global markets, further solidifying its role as an export hub.
📈 Year-to-Date Sales Cross 1.63 Lakh Units
Kia’s year-to-date (YTD) performance also paints a strong growth picture. Between January and July 2025, the company sold 1,63,439 vehicles, compared to 1,46,644 units during the same period in 2024. This translates to a growth of 11.45% — a testament to the brand’s growing acceptance in the Indian market.
