Kia India Crosses 2.5 Lakh Units Export Milestone

Kia India has achieved a new significant milestone, crossing 2.5 lakh exports of its vehicles. The brand established its presence in India in 2019 and has exported to 100 markets from its facility in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh. While India has been a major export hub for Kia, it has now announced it is going to focus more on the domestic market. 

The Seltos has a 59 per cent share of the total exports, with nearly 1.5 lakh units exported since 2019. The Sonet and Carens account for 34 and 7 per cent of the 2,55,133 vehicles Kia India exported respectively. Kia India’s export markets include South Africa, Chile, Paraguay, Latin America among others.
