Kia India publicly stated that its Anantapur facility has completed 5 lakh dispatches, spanning both local and international markets.

Since starting to ship the Kia Seltos in September 2019, Kia India has sold over four lakh automobiles in the nation and has already shipped over one lakh cars to more than 91 countries. Kia India also became the country's biggest utility vehicle exporter in 2021, with a market share of over 25 percent, according to the company.

Kia India has unveiled the Kia Carens, its fourth model for the Indian market and prices start at Rs 8,99 lakh (ex-showroom). The three-row Kia Carens recreational vehicle is a Made-in-India-for-the-World product that blends an MPV and SUV experience. Launched earlier this month, the Kia Carens has already received an extremely positive response from the Indian market.

Tae-Jin Park, Managing Director and CEO, Kia India, said, "Half-a-million is a big number and we are proud to have attained this milestone in less than 2.5 years. Ever since our inception in India, we have focused on providing great value to our customers through our ground-breaking products and services. Today, Kia is a part of 4 lakh Indian families and we are extremely grateful for the affection bestowed upon us by our esteemed customers. Now, with the Carens already launched, we are confident of achieving our next milestones at a much faster pace, creating new benchmarks that will chart the course of our growth journey in the country."
