Kia is fully prepared to increase its production for 2022. As per sources, Kia India’s Anantapur facility will contribute to almost 10 per cent of its global production. This translates to almost 3 to 3.5 lakh vehicles. For last year, i.e. 2021, this facility contributed to almost 8 per cent of the brand’s total global output. Kia’s sales figure in the domestic market is increasing at a very rapid pace. In fact, the carmaker was the fastest-growing carmaker in India for 2021. As per data, Kia India predicts that its sales will grow by almost 33 per cent, which is close to 2,43,000 units for 2022.

Being a relatively new carmaker, Kia has its presence in almost all corners of the country. This helps in targeting more customers, thus boosting sales. Kia’s selection of vehicles for the launch in India has also been perfect. With the growing demand for SUVs, the Kia has nailed it with the Seltos and Sonet.
