Kia India raises vehicle prices by up to 2% from July 1, 2026

Kia India announced a price increase of up to 2% across its entire vehicle lineup, effective July 1 2026. The company attributes the hike to higher input costs and rising operational expenses. All models—including the Sonet, Seltos, Carens, Syros, Clavis, EV6, EV9 and Carnival—will see varied adjustments, with the most expensive Seltos variant expected to rise by about ₹40,000 and the lowest‑priced Sonet trim by roughly ₹14,000‑₹15,000.

Kia said it has absorbed part of the cost escalation internally but a partial increase is now unavoidable. The move follows similar price revisions by other Indian automakers such as Tata Motors, Hyundai and Maruti Suzuki, who have also cited cost pressures earlier this year.
