Kia India has released its May 2023 sales report. The carmaker sold a total of 24,770 units for the given period. Kia further clarified that the overall domestic sales stood at 18,766 units. Meanwhile, the exports accounted for about 6,004 units for May 2023. The carmaker is fully preparing itself to bring in the facelifted Seltos in July this year.
The Kia Sonet sold a total of 8,251 units. Meanwhile, the Seltos and the Carens sold a total of 4,065 units and 6,367 units, respectively. Kia also mentioned that it sold 82 units of the EV6 flagship electric car. We are aware that last month, Kia brought the Sonet Aurochs Edition. Special editions like this help in adding more value to the existing model. Thus, this Aurochs Edition too will aim to attract more footfall thus adding to its increase in sales.
The Kia Seltos will soon receive its first mid-lifecycle update for the Indian market this year. Recently the SUV was spied testing in its top-spec X-Line guise. We are aware that the Seltos facelift was revealed about a year ago for international markets. Now, very soon we will get to see it on the Indian roads as well. The SUV will come with a revised front and rear design. We will also get to see a tweaked dashboard and a lot of new equipment. Talking of the engine options, Kia will carry forward with the existing 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engines. Additionally, there are talks of Kia bringing in a turbo-petrol engine as well.
Seltos has been a top performer for Kia for a long time. And now with the updated facelifted model, it will aim to attract more customers. This facelift update will give Seltos its much-needed midlife refreshment thus adding to its new looks both inside and outside.
