Kia Motor India has announced a price hike on its models like the Seltos, Sonet, Carens, and the EV6 that have come into effect from January 2023.

Their new prices start from Rs 9.45 lakh (ex-showroom) for the entry-level HTE 1.5, going up to Rs 14.39 lakh (ex-showroom) for the X-line automatic trim.

The South Korean automaker’s highly popular compact SUV, the Seltos sees a price increase of Rs 20,000 to Rs 50,000 depending on the variant selected. The 1.5-litre petrol models have received a hike of Rs 20,000 while the 1.4-litre turbo-petrol is now Rs 40,000 dearer. New prices for petrol Seltos variants now range from Rs 10.69 lakh to Rs 18.69 lakh (ex-showroom). Talking about the diesel models, then they have gone up by Rs 50,000. The updated prices now stand at Rs 11.89 lakh to Rs 19.15 lakh (ex-showroom).
