Looking at the domestic market, Kia recorded a 5% year-over-year (YoY) growth with 25,025 units dispatched in January 2025, compared to 23,769 units in January 2024. This marks an increase of 1,256 units. When compared to December 2024, where 8,957 units were dispatched, January’s sales show a significant rise.
Breaking down the sales, the Kia Sonet led the charge with 7,194 units sold in January 2025, followed by the Seltos at 6,470 units. The newly launched Kia Syros secured the third spot with 5,546 units dispatched. The Carens came in fourth with 5,522 units sold, while the Carnival sold 293 units.
Without the 5,546 Syros units, Kia still managed to sell 19,479 units, a solid performance. With the Syros now in the market, its sales are expected to grow further in the coming months, especially with the competitive pricing.
