Kia India has announced that it will increase prices across its entire model portfolio from July 1, 2026. The carmaker said the revision will be up to 2 per cent and has become necessary due to rising input costs and higher operating expenses.The upcoming hike will be applicable across all Kia models sold in India, including mass-market cars like the Sonet, Ciros, Seltos, Carense and Carense 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 revealed model-wise price changes, the increase will vary depending on the vehicle and variant. Based on current pricing, the revision could lead to an increase of up to Rs 2.6 lakh on select models and variants. In an official statement, the company said it has absorbed a significant portion of the cost increase internally in an effort to minimize the impact on customers. The announcement makes Kia one of several manufacturers to revise prices amid rising production and operating costs.
