Celebrating one year of the launch of Carens, the company has sold 76,904 units of the model, at an average of almost 6,000 units a month. The fourth product from the company’s stable, the Carens, has established itself as a compelling value proposition for modern Indian families, packing the sophistication of a family mover and the sportiness of an SUV in one. The vehicle disrupted the family mover segment in the country and gained instant popularity right after the launch, which it has maintained ever since. In CY2022, the Carens registered 62,756 unit sales, and was among the top 10 UVs sold in the year.

Achieving 35.8% growth against the industry’s growth of 10% shows the love and confidence the Indian consumers have for the brand. Our continued efforts to delight customers reflect in our sales figures every month across our product offerings. Kia India is known for developing products that create benchmarks in their segment and the industry, and the Carens is another example. We developed Carens sighting the need gap in the family mover segment, making it exciting with striking design, practicality, and comfort along with fun to drive element.“
