Kia finished FY26 with a total domestic sale of 2,89,035 units as against 2,55,207 units during the same period last year with a YoY growth of 13 per cent
Kia India ended last fiscal on a healthy note as cumulative domestic volumes rose to 2,89,035 units compared to 2,55,207 units in FY25 with an appreciable 13 per cent year-on-year improvement. The brand continued to rely on its SUV portfolio while MPVs and premium products added further depth to the lineup.
Notable demand for the Sonet, Seltos and Carens Clavis family ensured Kia remained one of the key players in the passenger vehicle market. Heading the charge was the Kia Sonet which remained Kia’s most sold offering with a tally of 1,14,142 units in FY26 against 99,805 units a year earlier.
The 14 per cent jump shows the continued popularity of the sub-four-metre SUV which competes in one of the country’s most crowded segments. Its broad variant spread, multiple engine options and long feature list have helped it retain consistent showroom traffic in the period between April 2025 and March 2026.

The Kia Seltos followed in second place with 83,747 units – improving from 72,618 units in FY25. The 15 per cent gain can be attributed to the arrival of a brand new generation a while ago as the model’s continued its run in the midsize SUV category as one of the top sellers. The Seltos remains an important growth contributor for Kia.
Kia’s MPV portfolio also delivered impressive numbers. The Kia Carens and updated Clavis range together posted 76,837 units in FY26 – up from 64,609 units in the previous year by registering a 19 per cent increase. The numbers made it Kia’s fastest growing volume product among the mainstream nameplates as the debut of the Carens Clavis in ICE and electric forms has worked wonders.
