"In these tough times, the relentless efforts of our teams and partners have enabled Kia India to achieve a healthy sales momentum in 2021. We are optimistic that the future will witness an uptick in demand for personal mobility with the ease in COVID-19 curbs and heightened vaccination drive across the country," Kia India Chief Sales and Business Strategy Officer Tae-Jin Park said in a statement.

The company is also expecting that the supply chain of the auto industry will be further streamlined in the upcoming weeks, he added.

"In line with this commitment, we have recently announced a wave of finance schemes for our customers to make their Kia ownership experience seamless, hassle-free and we remain focused to provide the best customer experience with futuristic mobility services," Park noted.

Recently, Kia topped the dealer satisfaction study 2021 by FADA in association with PremonAsia with 879 points, exceeding the nearest OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) by 101 points.
