Meanwhile, Kia India has announced up to 2 per cent price hike across its entire line-up, effective from January 1, “primarily due to rising commodity prices and escalating supply chain-related costs”.

“We are committed to delivering exceptional, technologically advanced vehicles of the highest quality to our valued customers. However, due to the persistent rise in commodity prices, unfavourable exchange rates, and increased input costs, a necessary price adjustment has become unavoidable,” said Hardeep Singh Brar, senior vice president, sales and marketing, Kia India.
