Kia India has floored it on price with a substantial cut in prices across its entire range of ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles. With the government’s GST 2.0 reforms, the company has chosen to pass on 100% of the tax benefit to customers, making a strategic decision that comes at the perfect time for the festive season. From September 22, 2025, customers can save from ₹15,000 up to₹1.85 lakh, depending on the variant and model.
Kia, one of the best car company in India, is terming this as a “citizen-centric reform” and hopes that it will inject a new wave of interest among Kia buyers. By taking this aggressive move, Kia is not just making its vehicles more affordable but also trying to increase market demand in a slowing auto industry.
Kia Model-Wise Price Cuts:
Kia has launched steep price reductions across its Indian car brands list, and if you are in the market to purchase a Kia, let’s take a quick look at where the most savings are being made. We begin with the popular Kia Sonet, which has some of the largest percentage reductions in the lineup.
Kia Sonet
The Kia Sonet is undergoing a significant price reduction, particularly on its diesel models.
- Diesel models will witness a price cut of 10% to 10.5%
- Petrol models may witness a cut of about 9%
- The maximum cut is to ₹1.64 lakh, specifically on high-end models such as GTX Plus DT Turbo Diesel-Automatic.
Kia Syros
Similar to the Sonet, the Kia Syros is also going to see a significant price correction, particularly for diesel models.
- Diesel models will see a cut of 10% to 10.5%
- Petrol models are expected to witness a price reduction of approximately 9%
The highest cut is expected to reach as high as ₹1.85 lakh, specifically on the top model, HTX Plus (O) Turbo Diesel-Automatic.
Kia Carens and Carens Clavis
Both the Kia Carens and recently introduced Carens Clavis are set to gain from the GST cut, although the percentage decline is more modest:
- Price cuts on the majority of models vary from 1.15% to 3.7%
- The maximum reduction can be as high as ₹78,600, particularly on the HTX Plus 6S Turbo Petrol-Automatic.
Despite Kia Carens price drop is lower, the savings are considerable for family purchasers in search of practical three-row vehicles.
Kia Seltos
The mass-market Kia Seltos SUV also receives a price reduction, but not quite much on the base models:
- The majority of trims will receive a cut of around 3.5% to 3.7%
- Maximum savings can be as high as ₹75,300, especially on upper-end models, the X Line Turbo Diesel-Automatic and X Line Petrol-Automatic.
With this price cut and greater value for money vehicles, Kia India GST 2.0 benefit is now ready to increase its market size.
