Kia to hike prices by up to 2 percent from July 1

Kia India has announced it will increase prices across its model range by up to 2 percent from July 1, 2026. The carmaker has cited “rising input costs and an overall increase in operational expenditure” as the reason for the move.

1. Kia hiking prices due to rising input costs and increased operational expenditure
2. Up to Rs 2.6 lakh increase in prices likely, depending on model and variant

Kia stated that it remains “committed to offering its customers the best-in-class products and ownership experience” and has “endeavoured to keep the price increase to a minimum” by absorbing a significant portion of the cost escalation internally. “The extent of the price increase will vary across models and variants, ensuring that the overall value proposition of each offering is maintained,” said the brand.
