Kia India has announced that it will increase prices across its model portfolio from July 1, 2026. The automaker said the revision would be up to 2 percent, driven by increased input costs and higher operating costs.The upcoming increase will apply to all Kia models sold in India, including mass-market offerings like the Sonet, Syros, Seltos, Carens and Carens Clavis, as well as premium models like the Carnival MPV and EV6 and EV9 electric SUVs. Carens Clavis EV will also be reviewed.While Kia has not disclosed price changes by model, the increase will vary depending on the car and variant. Based on current prices, the revision could translate into an increase of 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 increase internally to minimize the impact on customers. The announcement makes Kia one of several manufacturers to review pricing amid rising production and operating costs. The company said this decision was taken after careful assessment of the increase in input costs and overall costs.Customers planning to buy a Kia still have a short window to buy at the current prices before the revised rates come into force next month. The new pricing structure will be implemented at dealerships across the country from July 1, 2026.Kia currently has a diverse portfolio in India that includes internal combustion engine, electric and imported models.
