Kia India future roadmap

 

At this moment, Kia India offers four models — Seltos, Sonet, Carens and EV6. The Carnival was discontinued, making way for the new-gen model that is on its way for the Indian market. While both the Seltos and Sonet have already been updated with major facelifts, the Carens is due for a facelift, which has already been spied on multiple occasions. The new Carens will offer a new design, putting the MPV in line with the new Kia models.

In addition to the Carens update, Kia India is also gearing up to introduce two new models in the Indian market — a small SUV slotted between the Sonet and Seltos and the new-gen Carnival MPV. The upcoming Kia models positioned in the high-volume segments will surely drive sales to Kia India, further enhancing the carmaker’s market share.
