Kia India with its rather small line-up managed to record sales of 23,523 units in September 2024, marking a YoY growth of over 17 per cent. The carmaker could only sell a total of 20,022 units in the country in the same month last year. However, in August 2024, Kia sold 22,523 units, which is a mere difference of 1,000 cars. Talking of model-wise sales numbers, the company's most affordable offering - Sonet, managed to find 10,335 buyers, while the Seltos and Carens registered sales of 6,959 and 6,217 units, respectively.
