The Korean manufacturer Kia has managed to gain a stronghold in the Indian markets with all its products on offer as it has scaled up to reach the pinnacle of the top five Indian car manufacturers just within three years of entering the country. The first product offered by Kia Motors in India was the Kia Seltos which gained decent sales figures over the years. Now, Kia Motors is all set to introduce a new electric SUV in the Indian markets. Stay tuned to know more about the Kia Electric SUV.
Kia Motors is planning to roll out a compact SUV with an electric powertrain for a country like India. As per the reports, the enterprise has kick-started the project with the code name AY and is expected this SUV to rule the Indian roads by the year 2025. This SUV would be developed on a brand new compact SUV platform so as to inculcate different powertrains with the same chassis in their portfolio. They plan on making this new platform flexible to such an expectation that they can either plonk in an internal combustion engine or run it on some battery juice.
Hyundai, Kia's sister brand, had already released the Hyundai Kona in its powertrain and is the only electric vehicle on offer in India. However, it wasn't able to see much success, but Kia is all set to release the iconic EV6 in the Indian homelands.

As most of the automotive manufacturers are in a hustle to switch to electric mobility, there are certain challenges to be faced but were overcome first by Hyundai, Morris Garages and Tata. Out of these three brands, Tata has a market share of ninety per cent electric four-wheeler passenger vehicles running on the Indian roads. Therefore, Kia Motors aspires to drive the automotive sector to electric mobility in India and wants to build a robust electric vehicle development infrastructure for the future by 2025. Kia Motors plans to launch at least fourteen new electric vehicles internationally by 2030 with a compact SUV and an EV pick-up truck on the cards for the next few years.
As per the sales figures, Kia is the fastest growing brand in terms of sales over the years and exports to more than 90 countries. Out of more than three lakh units manufactured to date in the year 2022, the enterprise has exported eighty thousand units of different vehicles internationally. With a comprehensive lineup on offer, it has become the choice of many folks in India and abroad.
