Highlights

    If there is one carmaker that upped the ante across segments with every new launch, it's Kia Motors. It literally has set the bar high for its counterparts and its sales graph very aptly substantiates that. In no time, it ranked amongst the top ten automakers in India with just one product in the market- the Seltos, and then the arrival of Kia Sonet added another feather to its cap. In few month, the Korean carmaker stood out to be the third largest carmaker in India, outperforming some well established brands.

    While right now, Kia Motors India is the fourth largest automaker in India, with regards to volumes, the company holds a market share of over 5 per cent in India. That too with just three models - Seltos, Carnival and Sonet. In less than two years of beginning its sales operations, Kia Motors India's car sales crossed the 2 lakh units mark, and the company became the fastest car manufacturer to reach the milestone in the country. The South Korean manufacturer sold the said number of cars in just 17 months.

    Even the Kia Carnival which is priced at the higher side of the price range has performed reasonably well for its segment, giving quite a tough competition to the Toyota Innova Crysta that has been the segment leader for over decade now. Then, at our awards too, both models that were launched last year- the Kia Sonet and Kia Carnival won in their respective categories. The Kia Sonet was crowned subcompact SUV of the year and the Kia Carnival bagged the MPV of the year trophy.
