Kia India has recorded its highest-ever February wholesales since commencing operations in the country, dispatching 27,610 units in February 2026. The performance marks a 10.3 per cent year-on-year growth over the 25,026 units sold in February 2025, and represents the second consecutive month of double-digit growth for the brand.
The strong showing was led by sustained demand across Kia’s SUV and MPV portfolio. The new Seltos continued to draw strong customer response, buoyed by its refreshed design, enhanced safety package and advanced technology suite. The Sonet remained a key growth driver in the compact SUV space, supported by its feature-rich offering and value proposition.
In the family mobility segment, the Carens Clavis strengthened its foothold with its emphasis on space, comfort and practicality. Meanwhile, the Clavis EV witnessed steady traction among buyers looking for a simplified and accessible electric mobility experience. At the premium end of the spectrum, the Carnival continued to reinforce Kia’s presence in the luxury MPV segment.
Kia attributes its growth to a balanced product strategy that blends progressive design, advanced safety technologies including ADAS, connected car features and a premium ownership experience. The company’s mass-premium positioning, it says, has helped align its offerings with evolving customer aspirations, including the gradual shift towards electric mobility.
Commenting on the performance, Atul Sood, Senior Vice President – Sales & Marketing, Kia India, said the record February numbers reflect rising consumer trust and the brand’s ability to adapt quickly to changing market preferences. He added that Kia aims not just to respond to market trends but to shape them through innovation, design and technology-led differentiation.
Operationally, Kia’s expanding network has also supported its growth trajectory. The company now operates 849 touchpoints across 382 cities nationwide, including 122 Certified Pre-Owned outlets that aim to enhance transparency and convenience in vehicle transactions. Continued investments in digital platforms and customer engagement initiatives are further aimed at strengthening the ownership experience.
