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 been necessitated by rising input costs and higher operational expenses.The upcoming hike will apply to all Kia models sold in India, including mass-market offerings such as the Sonet, Syros, Seltos, Carens and Carens Clavis, as well as premium models like the Carnival MPV and the EV6 and EV9 electric SUVs. The Carens Clavis EV will also be affected by the revision.While Kia has not disclosed model-wise price changes, the increase will vary depending on the vehicle and variant. Based on current pricing, the revision could translate to an increase of up to around 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 escalation internally in an effort to minimise the impact on customers. The announcement makes Kia one of several manufacturers to revise prices amid rising production and operating costs. The company said the decision was taken after carefully evaluating the increase in input costs and overall expenditure.Customers planning to purchase a Kia vehicle still have a brief window to buy at current prices before the revised rates come into effect next month. The new pricing structure will be applicable across dealerships nationwide from July 1, 2026.Kia currently has a diverse portfolio in India spanning internal combustion engine, electric and imported models.
