Kia India has announced that it will increase prices across its model portfolio from July 1, 2026. The carmaker said the revision will be up to 2 percent and was necessitated by rising input costs and higher operating expenses.The upcoming hike will apply to all Kia models sold in India, including mass-market offerings like the Sonet, Syros, Seltos, Carens and Carens Clavis, as well as premium models like the Carnival MPV and EV6 and EV9 electric SUVs. The Carens Clavis EV will also be affected by the revision.While Kia has not disclosed any price changes in the model, the increase will vary depending on the vehicle and variant. Based on current prices, the revision could translate into an increase of around Rs 2.6 lakh on select models and variants. In an official statement, the company said it absorbed a significant portion of the cost escalation internally in an effort to minimize the impact on customers. The announcement makes Kia one of several manufacturers to review prices amid rising production and operating costs. The company said the decision was taken after carefully evaluating the increase in input costs and overhead.Customers considering buying a Kia vehicle still have a short window to shop at current prices before the revised rates come into effect next month. The new pricing structure will be applicable at all dealerships across the country from July 1, 2026.Kia currently has a diverse portfolio in India that includes internal combustion engine, electric and imported models.
