Sonet and Carens outperform every other model in the Kia line-up, including the company’s Hyundai Creta rival – the Seltos
September was an average month for Kia this year, with sales remaining nearly flat compared to last year. Similarly, the Sonet and Carens continue being strong contributors to the brand’s sales in our market.
Kia sold 22,700 cars in India last month, which marked a 3% year-over-year decline. For reference, the company had delivered 23,523 cars in the same month last year. The Sonet and Carens alone contributed 72% of the brand’s sales in September 2025, up 2% from September 2024.
The Sonet, which is the entry point into the Kia line-up in India, recorded 9,020 units in sales in September 2025. Compared to September 2024 (10,335 units), the Hyundai Venue rival’s sales reduced by 13%.

The Carens, on the other hand, is in a stronger position this year. Kia delivered 7,338 units of the MPV in September 2025, 18% more than in September 2024 (6,217 units). The three-row model saw the highest growth across the Kia line-up last month. Interestingly, it has overtaken Seltos in sales this year.
The Seltos’ sales were down 16% in September this year. Kia delivered just 5,816 units of the premium SUV, as compared to 6,959 units in the same month last year. The newly launched Syros sub-4 metre SUV, positioned above the Sonet, isn’t doing well. Kia was able to move just 465 units of this model last month.

Most of Kia’s imported models also performed poorly last month. The company delivered 61 units of the Carnival, which wasn’t on sale in September last year. It wasn’t able to sell a single unit of the EV6 last month, despite the facelift in March. In September last year, it delivered 12 units of the electric crossover.
The EV9, the flagship model in the Kia line-up globally, also logged zero in sales last month. Priced at 1.30 crore rupees (ex-showroom), the three-row SUV is even more expensive than the Mercedes EQS SUV.
