Kia India has announced up to a 2% price hike across its entire lineup. The price hike, effective from January 1, 2025, is primarily due to rising commodity prices and escalating supply chain-related costs.
Hardeep Singh Brar, Senior Vice President—Sales and Marketing, Kia India, stated, “At Kia, we are committed to delivering exceptional, technologically advanced vehicles of the highest quality to our valued customers. However, due to the persistent rise in commodity prices, unfavorable exchange rates, and increased input costs, a necessary price adjustment has become unavoidable. Despite these challenges, Kia is absorbing a significant portion of the cost increase to minimize the financial impact on our customers.”
The automotive sector continues to grapple with rising input costs, prompting manufacturers to adjust prices while striving to balance affordability for customers.
