The company's January–October sales have already surpassed its total volume for the full year of 2025.

Kia India achieved its highest-ever monthly wholesales of 33,462 units in October 2026, according to a report by RushLane. This figure represents a 13.22 per cent year-on-year increase from the 29,556 units sold in October 2025.

The monthly total also grew by 4.51 per cent compared to the 32,017 units recorded in September 2026. Between January and October 2026, cumulative wholesales reached 2,86,470 units, which is 21.31 per cent higher than the 2,36,138 units sold during the same period last year.

Kia has already exceeded its full-year 2025 sales of 2,80,286 units by 6,184 units. The Seltos and Sonet were the primary contributors to the October figures, with Seltos sales exceeding 13,000 units.

The company also reported its highest monthly electric vehicle sales in October, with volumes rising 31 per cent over September 2026. Contributions came from the Syros EV and Carens Clavis EV, while CNG variants of the Carens and Carens Clavis accounted for nearly 10 per cent of total sales.

Atul Sood, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Kia India, said the record results were due to festive demand, existing models, and the reception of new products. He noted interest in the Sorento's hybrid efficiency and the rising role of CNG and electric models.
