The company says that the decision has been taken due to an escalation in commodity prices and supply chain-related inputs.
The premium carmaker, Kia has announced the price hike across the range. The company has confirmed the news via official release, saying the models will become 3 percent costlier compared to the current price range, starting from April 1.
This is the first price hike of the year, which is likely to be constant for months. It will impact the current lineup including Seltos, Sonet, and Carens. It has been reported by the brand that the decision has been taken due to an escalation in commodity prices and supply chain-related inputs.
Here’s What Company’s Top Official Says
Speaking about the decision, the company’s Sales and Marketing head, Hardeep Singh Brar said, “At Kia, we consistently strive to deliver premium and technologically advanced products to our esteemed customers. However, due to the continuous increase in commodity prices, adverse exchange rate and rising input cost, we are compelled to implement a partial price hike.”
In addition, he said, “The company is absorbing a significant portion of the increase, allowing customers to continue driving their favorite Kia cars without a major dent in their pockets.”
