Commenting on Kia’s consistently strong performance, Tae-Jin Park, MD and CEO, Kia India, said, “It brings us great joy to see Kia India going from strength to strength in a year punctuated by supply-side issues and rise in the cost of raw material. We have sold more than 3.7 lakh units since entering the Indian automotive market in August 2019, a remarkable feat for a new entrant; not just that, till date, we have exported to around 90 countries across the world. Kia India has always focused on providing quality after-sales services to our esteemed customers. Topping the Dealer Satisfaction Study 2021 and 2020 in a row and customer purchase satisfaction by NCBS 2020 demonstrates our unwavering commitment to the same.”
