Here’s a list of all upcoming Kia cars that are set to launch in India in 2024. Kia India’s upcoming cars in 2024 include a refreshed version of a sub-compact SUV, a new electric SUV and an all-new people carrier. For each car, we’ve also included tentative launch timelines based on our interaction with the brand as well as media reports and online rumours. Let’s begin the list with cars that are likely to launch in early 2024.

1. Sonet Facelift - January 2024

2024 Sonet

The Sonet facelift made its debut on December 14, 2023 and Kia commenced bookings for the B2-segment SUV on December 20. The full price list of the new Sonet facelift is expected to be revealed at its official launch event in early January and deliveries are set to begin the same month as well.

2. Kia Carnival (KA4) - Mid 2024

Carnival KA4

Kia showcased the new Carnival MPV with the KA4 moniker at the 2023 Auto Expo. The new Carnival KA4 adopts a more boxy, SUV-ish design language compared to its predecessor’s van-like design. The boxy design should appeal to a lot more customers when the D2-segment MPV goes on sale in September 2024. Meanwhile, Kia have launched the Carnival facelift in select global markets and we expect this version to make it to India.

3. Kia Clavis - Diwali 2024

Clavis

Kia recently trademarked the Clavis name in India and reports suggest it could be a potential rival to the Tata Punch and Hyundai Exter B1-segment SUVs. In a recent interaction with Kia’s national head of sales and marketing, Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, we learned that Kia India currently do not have any plans on launching hatchbacks or sedans in the country yet. Since entering India, Kia have quickly become the 5th largest carmaker in the country on the back of the success of its SUVs such as the Seltos and Sonet and MPVs such as the Carens and Carnival. Hence, we are confident the Clavis would definitely be an SUV. However, we are awaiting more details to see where the Clavis would fit into Kia India’s portfolio. But all the information we currently have point towards the Clavis being a B1-segment SUV. Know more about the Clavis by tapping the link below.

4. Kia EV9 - Late 2024

EV9

The Kia EV9 is currently Kia’s flagship electric vehicle in global markets. The EV9 was showcased in its concept form at the 2023 Auto Expo and is currently on sale in the US. The 3-row electric SUV is similar in size to the Kia Telluride and it is expected to cost between Rs. 80.0 lakh - Rs. 90.0 lakh in India. The Kia EV9 comes with a 99.8kWh battery pack that channels power to 2 electric motors. The dual motor long range model offers 385PS of power and 600Nm of torque. With boost mode, it can do the 0-100kmph sprint in a claimed 5.3 seconds. When launched, the EV9 will become the flagship Kia in India and go up against other premium electric SUVs like the BMW iX and Audi Q8 E-Tron. Learn more about it by clicking the link below.
