Kia registered a domestic total of 27,286 units in April 2026 as against 23,623 units during the same period last year with a YoY growth of 16 per cent
Kia India posted 27,286 units in April 2026 with a 16 per cent year-on-year jump over 23,623 units during the same period last year – down 6 per cent sequentially from March 2026’s 29,112 units. The month-on-month dip is a familiar story across the industry with March typically elevated on end of financial year retail momentum.
The more substantial number is the year-on-year growth and at 16 per cent Kia is holding its ground well in an increasingly competitive market. The Seltos and Sonet together accounted for over 77 per cent of total April sales – a concentration that has been consistent for Kia over the past years and shows how deeply both models have embedded themselves in their respective segments.
The Seltos led with a domestic total of 10,566 units – a 72 per cent year-on-year jump from 6,135 units in April 2025 with the strongest growth rate in the lineup. Sequentially, it dipped 4 per cent over the previous month’s tally of 11,041 units. The Sonet finished behind in the second position with 10,537 units – growing 31 per cent year-on-year from 8,068 units.

The sequential decline of 12 per cent from 12,012 units in March is more pronounced but again largely a reflection of the March rush. Both the Seltos and Sonet individually crossing the 10,000-unit mark in April is a notable achievement and one that very few models in their respective segments can claim.
The Carens held steady in third with 5,465 units – up 4 per cent year-on-year from 5,259 units – a modest but consistent contribution from the family mover. The Syros had a curious month – just 554 units against 4,000 units in April 2025 with a decline of 86 per cent year-on-year but the 839 per cent month-on-month jump from March’s 59 units shows the updated model has been decently received.
