- Kia electric car prices in India will increase from July 1, 2026
- Price hike of up to 2%
- Applies across the entire Kia lineup (ICE and Electric)
- Rising commodity and supply-chain costs cited as reasons
Kia India has announced a price increase of up to 2% across its electric vehicle range. The revised prices will come into effect from July 1, 2026. The reason for this price hike is cited as “rising input costs and an overall increase in operational expenditure” by the Korean brand.
All Kia Models To Be Affected
The upcoming price hike will affect all the cars in Kia’s electric vehicle lineup sold in India. This includes the Kia Carens Clavis EV, the Kia EV6, and the Kia EV9. Here are the latest prices of these models:
| Kia Electric Car | Ex-showroom Price |
| Kia Carens Clavis EV | Rs 18.01 lakh to Rs 25 lakh |
| Kia EV6 | Rs 66 lakh |
| Kia EV9 | Rs 1.3 crore |
(*all prices are ex-showroom)
So, from July 1, 2026 expect a price hike of up to Rs 2,60,000 depending on the model and variant chosen by the buyer. Also, Kia isn’t the only automaker to announce a price hike in recent times. Brands such as Tata, Hyundai and Maruti Suzuki have also raised prices of their electric cars, for similar reasons.
What We Think
Just like several other manufacturers, the Korean brand has been facing higher input costs across various components and raw materials. The latest price hike will help the brand partially offset these pressures while maintaining product quality and customer service standards.
The latest price hike announcement means Kia buyers can expect to pay more for EVs starting next month. While the increase is capped at 2%, it could mean a noticeable jump in on-road prices, especially for higher-end models like the Kia EV9.
