KOREAN carmaker Kia aims to achieve a 20% growth in sales volume in India next year, targeting sales of nearly 3 lakh passenger vehicles (PVs).
The company expects to conclude the calendar year 2024 with sales of nearly 2.5 lakh units. According to Hardeep Singh Brar, vice-President & head of marketing & sales at Kia India, the projected growth will largely be driven by its newly launched compact SUV, the Syros. Additionally, Kia is reportedly planning to introduce a mass-market electric vehicle (EV) in 2025.
