Kia Motors India reported December wholesales at 11,818 units. That’s stupendous growth of 154.42 percent from wholesales reported at 4,645 units a year earlier. Volume gain stood at 7,173 units. MoM sales decline is reported at 43.78 percent, down from 21,022 units.

Volumes declined by 9,204 units. On the sales front, it appears December is traditionally a low sales period for Kia. This could be owing to annual scheduled maintenance but this hasn’t been confirmed by the company.

Alongside sales spurt, there’s another key concern that’s gotten everyone’s curiosity. In early December 2020, it was ascertained that Kia Motors India is prepped for a price hike wef January 1, 2020. And that this was to be substantial, and to be communicated at a later date. Well later is here now. And the ex sh price hike is in the range of 1k to 20k depending on vehicle and variant. There’s also those that aren’t going to be any pricier in the new year.

Change in On-road prices up to Rs 70k

Though ex-sh price hike is only up to Rs 20k, bump in ex-sh prices is up to Rs 70k, depending on vehicle price slab and taxes in the respective State. For example, HTX Diesel MT entails a price hike of 20k on 2020 ex-sh price. It now shifts from the under Rs 10 lakh slab to above Rs 10 lakh bracket. This increases tax percentage.
