Kia Hikes Prices Of Sonet, Seltos, Carens Clavis And Carnival By Up To Rs 33,000
Kia has decided to leave out some models from the latest round of price hikes, including the Syros and Carens Clavis EV
- Write a comment
We have recently seen multiple brands across industries increase the prices of their products due to various factors. Multiple carmakers, too, have initiated price hikes across their lineup, and now Kia has joined the list. The Korean marque has cited rising input costs and an overall increase in the operational expenditure, and has hence raised prices of its cars by up to two percent. Kia has implemented the price correction on the Sonet, Seltos, Carens Clavis as well as the Carnival.
In this story, we bring to you the revised variant-wise prices of all the affected Kia cars. So let’s take a look:
