Kia Seltos, Sonet, Syros, and More to Get Costlier by up to 3% from April
Kia India attributes the latest price adjustment to rising commodity prices as well as escalating supply chain-related costs.

Kia India has announced a price hike across its product lineup, set to take effect from April 2025. Popular models like the Seltos, Sonet, and the recently launched Syros will see an increase of up to 3% in their prices. The company attributes this adjustment to rising commodity prices and escalating supply chain-related costs. While the exact revised prices will be disclosed closer to the implementation date, buyers planning to purchase a Kia vehicle can still take advantage of current pricing until the end of March. This price revision follows similar hikes by automakers like Tata Motors and Maruti Suzuki. With demand for Kia’s SUVs remaining strong, prospective buyers may consider finalising their purchases before the new rates come into effect next month.
What Kia Has to Say
Commenting on the price adjustment, Hardeep Singh Brar, Sr. Vice President, – Sales and Marketing, Kia India said, 'As a brand committed to providing exceptional value and quality to our customers, we have always strived to offer the best vehicles at competitive prices. However, due to the rising costs of commodities and input materials, we will be increasing up to a 3% price hike across all Kia models, effective from 1st April 2025. While we understand that price adjustments can be challenging, this decision has been made to ensure we can continue delivering the high-quality, technologically advanced vehicles that our customers expect from Kia. To minimise the impact on our customers, Kia is absorbing a significant portion of the increased costs, ensuring that the price adjustment remains as manageable as possible for our valued customers.'

As mentioned before, the price hike announcement from Kia India follows a similar trend in the industry. Tata Motors recently disclosed plans to increase prices by up to 2% across its passenger vehicle (PV) lineup, whereas Maruti Suzuki has already implemented a price revision of up to 4%. These price adjustments are primarily driven by rising production expenses and fluctuating market conditions, making vehicle purchases costlier in the near future.
Kia India Model Range
Notably, the South Korean carmaker offers a diverse range of vehicles in India, covering multiple segments with models such as the Seltos, Syros, Carens, and Sonet. The brand also sells the premium Carnival MPV, while its electric vehicle lineup includes the likes of the EV6 and EV9, reinforcing its presence in the EV market.
