Kia India Revises Prices for Seltos, Sonet & Carens Clavis from July 1, 2026
Kia India has officially revised the prices of its popular models—the Kia Seltos, Kia Sonet, and Kia Carens Clavis—with the new prices coming into effect from July 1, 2026.
According to the company, the price increase is due to rising commodity costs, higher raw material prices, increased manufacturing expenses, and overall operational cost inflation. Despite the revision, Kia stated that it remains focused on offering feature-rich vehicles and value to its customers.
Why Has Kia Increased Prices?
Kia has cited the following reasons for the latest price revision:
