Kia India: South Korean carmaker Kia has announced its sales figures for October 2021. The company has sold 16,331 cars in the month of October. The Kia Seltos has once again become the best-selling Kia car in India and, for the second consecutive month, it has also become the best-selling SUV in the country. Despite the semiconductor shortage globally, Kia has achieved this success by performing well in the Indian market.
Seltos mid-size SUV sold 10,488 vehicles
Kia sells three cars in India – Seltos, Sonet and Carnival. Talking about the sales figures, the company managed to sell 10,488 units of the Seltos mid-size SUV in October 2021, which makes it the best-selling SUV in the country. Apart from this, the company sold 5443 cars of Sonet sub-compact SUV and 400 cars of Carnival premium MPV.
Sales of 1.50 lakh cars crossed in CY21
The company has also achieved another major achievement. Kia India has crossed the 1.50 lakh car sales mark in CY21. The company has sold 1,59,641 cars in CY21 till October, while in the same period of 2020, the company sold 1,07,657 vehicles. However, in October 2021, the company’s sales declined by 22.3 percent year-on-year, which could be due to semiconductor shortages globally.
Tae-Jin Park, MD & CEO, Kia India said, “Supply constraints were creating problems, but with consistent support from customers and vendors, we were able to perform well throughout the year. We expect this performance to continue for the next few months. We assure to ensure the earliest delivery to our customers. We are closely monitoring the situation and are ready to take necessary steps if required.”
