Kia India has reported its highest-ever February sales since starting operations in the country, selling 27,610 vehicles in February 2026. The milestone reflects a 10.3% year-on-year growth compared to February 2025 and marks the company’s second consecutive month of double-digit expansion, driven by strong demand across its SUV and MPV portfolio.
Kia India sold 27,610 units in February 2026, surpassing its previous February record and improving on the 25,026 units sold in February 2025. The 10.3% year-on-year growth demonstrates consistent market momentum and strengthening brand appeal.
This performance is particularly significant as it represents the second straight month of double-digit growth for the automaker, signaling stable demand and effective product positioning in India’s highly competitive passenger vehicle market.
The company’s steady rise highlights its ability to respond to shifting customer preferences, including growing interest in feature-rich SUVs and electric mobility solutions.
Among Kia’s models, the new version of the Kia Seltos continued to receive a strong response from customers. The Seltos has long been one of Kia’s flagship offerings in India, known for its modern styling, advanced features, and diverse powertrain options.
Meanwhile, the Kia Sonet maintained its leadership momentum in the compact SUV segment. The Sonet’s popularity stems from its urban-friendly size, premium interiors, and technology-rich offerings, making it a preferred choice among first-time buyers and young professionals.
The consistent performance of these two SUVs has been central to Kia’s growth story in India.
Kia’s presence in the family mobility space also contributed to the February numbers. The Kia Carens Clavis variant strengthened its position among customers seeking spacious, practical, and feature-loaded MPVs.
The Clavis lineup has been positioned to cater to families prioritizing comfort, safety, and long-distance travel convenience. By blending SUV-inspired styling with MPV practicality, Kia has managed to carve out a unique space in the segment.
In addition, the Clavis EV has started gaining traction among buyers looking to transition to electric vehicles, reflecting the broader industry trend toward sustainable mobility.
At the premium end of the portfolio, the Kia Carnival continued to reinforce Kia’s position in the luxury MPV segment.
The Carnival caters to customers seeking executive-level comfort, advanced technology, and spacious three-row seating. Its sustained demand indicates that Kia has successfully established itself not only in the mass-market SUV category but also in the premium vehicle segment.
The model’s consistent performance strengthens Kia’s brand image as a versatile automaker capable of delivering across price points.
Commenting on the company’s February 2026 performance, Atul Sood, Senior Vice President – Sales & Marketing, Kia India, highlighted the importance of portfolio strength and adaptability.
He noted that the strong response to models such as the All-New Seltos, Sonet, and the Clavis lineup reflects the company’s well-planned strategy and agility in adapting to evolving customer aspirations. He also emphasized the increasing shift toward electric mobility, which Kia is addressing through its expanding EV offerings.
This strategic focus on innovation, product refreshes, and electrification appears to be driving sustained demand across multiple segments.
Beyond product strength, Kia India’s growing sales network has played a crucial role in its success. The brand now operates 849 touchpoints across 382 cities, significantly enhancing customer accessibility for both sales and after-sales services.
This wide network ensures that customers across urban and semi-urban markets can easily access Kia vehicles and service facilities.
Additionally, Kia supports its retail presence with 122 Certified Pre-Owned outlets. These outlets cater to customers seeking quality-assured used vehicles, further expanding the brand’s reach and strengthening customer trust.
Kia India’s record February sales reflect a combination of product innovation, expanding network presence, and responsiveness to market trends. With strong performances from SUVs, MPVs, and emerging electric models, the company is well-positioned to sustain growth in the coming months.
As consumer preferences continue to evolve toward feature-rich vehicles and electrified options, Kia’s diversified portfolio and strategic agility are likely to remain key growth drivers in India’s dynamic automotive market.
