Kia Carens MPV has crossed the 50,000 bookings mark in less than 2 months
The all-new Kia Carens was launched in India on February 15, 2022, and Kia stunned the market with the MPV’s aggressive pricing. The carmaker had opened the bookings for the MPV on January 14, 2022, and since then it has racked up over 50,000 bookings for the vehicle, solidifying its place as the fastest-growing carmaker in the country. Despite the global semiconductor shortage, Kia managed to sell 5,300 units in the month of February, within just 13 days of its launch. Of these 50,000 bookings, almost 60 per cent of the bookings were from Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities.
Upon reaching this milestone, Myung-Sik Sohn, Chief Sales Officer, Kia India said “This response for the Carens has created a never before excitement in family mover segment and it matches the excitement that our other SUVs have generated, and it is very encouraging.” He further added, “The Indian automotive industry is going through a tough phase as we face an acute shortage of semiconductors, hampering our production and hence the supply to the market”.
