KIA MOTORS TO KICK OFF INDIA SALES

Kia Motors to kick off India sales with 5 models spearheaded by SP Concept, compact SUV on the cards

                                                     

 South Korean carmaker Kia Motors is preparing for the India innings in the second 50% of 2019. The sister brand of Hyundai exhibited 16 universal models at the Auto Expo 2018 while it was tight-lipped about the India-spec models. Developing reports give some thought regarding the plausible line-up of Kia Motors in India.

   The carmaker supposedly plans to dispatch five autos in a traverse of year and a half. The principal show due for India will be the creation rendition of the SP Concept. The SP Concept SUV divulged at Auto Expo 2018 is solely made for India. The creation spec SUV is required to go up against Hyundai Creta and Renault Duster.

                                                         

 This SUV will be trailed by four models in the next months – two privately fabricated and two CKDs. It will have a line-up of five vehicles by 2021.

   A report in Autocar claims one of the privately fabricated models will be a sub-four meter SUV. It is relied upon to be estimated under Rs 10 lakh and the model will go up against the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Ford EcoSport. Kia minimized SUV will share the powertrains and underpinnings with the Hyundai's up and coming conservative SUV that has been reviewed as Carlino idea at Auto Expo 2016.

                                                                 

   Be that as it may, both Kia and Hyundai models will be shafts separated regarding the plan. Kia's mark outline characteristics, for example, 'Tiger Nose' grille, LED lighting and indulgent utilization of chrome on the outside points of interest can be normal in the conservative SUV. Likewise, Kia Motors is relied upon to offer more customization choices, for example, differentiate rooftop and inside shading decisions and others.

                                                               

   The report claims Kia Motors is yet to settle on the third auto to be fabricated locally. The CKD models expected in India are the SUV-seasoned Sportage and Sorento. Both these vehicles were a piece of Kia Motors' 16 universal model line-up uncovered at the Auto Expo 2018.
