Kia Cars News & Top Stories

Beginning in April 2024, Kia automobiles will be more expensive

Kia, a Korean automaker, has declared that it will raise the cost of its vehicles starting on April 1, 2024. Every mass-market model will be impacted by the price increase, with the Seltos, Sonet, and Carens seeing price increases of up to 3% starting next month. This is the first price increase for Kia models in 2024; the last price increase for Kia automobiles was announced in October 2023.

What Caused The Price Increase?

Kia cars

According to Kia, supply chain-related inputs, increased input costs, and commodity price increases are the reasons behind the company’s pricing increases for its vehicles.

“At Kia, we consistently strive to deliver premium and technologically advanced products to our esteemed customers,” stated Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, National Head – of Sales and Marketing, Kia India, in response to this move. Nonetheless, we are forced to enact a partial price hike as a result of the ongoing rise in commodity prices, the unfavorable exchange rate, and growing input costs. Customers may keep driving their favorite Kia vehicles without suffering severe financial hardship because the firm is taking up a sizable amount of the increase.

Price Range For Current Kia Vehicles

ModelsPrice Range
Kia SonetRs 7.99 lakh to Rs 15.69 lakh
Kia SeltosRs 10.99 lakh to Rs 20.30 lakh
Kia CarensRs 10.45 lakh to Rs 19.45 lakh
Kia EV6Rs 60.95 lakh to Rs 65.95 lakh

In India, Kia presently sells four cars, one of which is an EV called the Kia EV6. All models will be affected by the price increase, except the EV6, which is not a mass-market vehicle. Furthermore, the Kia Sonet’s promotional prices will expire in April 2024 due to a midlife upgrade that was received in January 2024.

Kia’s Future Plans

Kia is preparing to release a new generation of the Kia Carnival in India, as well as its flagship electric SUV, the Kia EV9. For additional information about forthcoming Kia vehicles in India, click this site.

Volkswagen ID.4 News & Top Stories

Launch Schedule for Volkswagen ID.4 in India Unveiled; Will Competitor Hyundai Ioniq 5

  • In India, the Volkswagen ID.4 will be the brand’s first electric vehicle.
  • will probably only be available in one well-equipped version when it arrives in India as a fully constructed unit (CBU).
  • With a 77kWh battery pack, ID.4 is reportedly able to go over 500 kilometers (WLTP) worldwide.

Volkswagen India announced its product plans for the remainder of the year at its annual conference, where the German automaker also revealed the date of the debut of its first pure EV in the nation. The Volkswagen ID.4 electric SUV crossover made an appearance on stage, and it was revealed that it would be available as a premium CBU import by the end of 2024. When the item arrives at our place, let’s investigate everything that might be included in its shores.

Exterior

The Volkswagen ID.4 has an elegant appearance on the outside. The Volkswagen logo is front and center, encircled by wraparound LED headlights that draw attention to the car’s aerodynamic design because the front radiator grille has been removed. Additionally, there are dynamic components like the honeycomb air dam running the length of the front bumper and the air scoops on either end.

Volkswagen ID.4

The car has a sleek and futuristic appearance because of its sharp edges and clean lines. Though it is classified as a crossover, the ID.4 has remarkable proportions; it is marginally shorter and lower than the Volkswagen Tiguan SUV. It yet has tough stylistic cues like the thick sheathing that surrounds the entire bottom. The ID.4 has a low drag coefficient of 0.28, which is perfect for extending range, because of its streamlined form. The ID.4 also has a sleek and expensive-looking design on the back, with a tall rear bumper and connected LED taillamps. The chrome skid plate stands tall in an attempt to enhance its SUV status.

The ID.4 GTX, a more aggressive variant of the electric crossover, was spotted in India last year.

Interior

Volkswagen ID.4

The Volkswagen ID.4 maintains its futuristic feel inside, with touch or voice commands controlling the majority of its features. A 5.3-inch digital display known as ID. The cockpit replaces the conventional instrument cluster and takes center stage on the leather-wrapped steering wheel, providing important data like range and battery condition. Lighting controls are neatly located to the left, and a sizable rocker switch has taken the role of the shifter next to the display. A sizable touchscreen in the center of the dashboard manages entertainment, navigation, and other functions. Drivers can customize this screen.

Features

The ID.4 is equipped with all of the usual comfort and convenience features found throughout the Volkswagen range. Dual-zone climate control and a motorized tailgate with Easy Open & Close are included in the electric Volkswagen as a premium feature. A 12-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, augmented reality heads-up display, wireless mobile charging, wireless App-Connect, and linked car technology are among the technological features offered by the ID.4.

Six airbags, a 360-degree camera, and an extensive array of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are among the ID.4’s standard safety features. The battery is protected from road dangers by a detachable aluminum underbody panel. To be extra safe, the battery is automatically turned off in the event of a serious collision.

Performance, Range, and Battery

cars

Rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) are offered on four separate VW ID.4 versions sold internationally. The battery-pack choice that Volkswagen will offer in India has not yet been confirmed, but here is a quick rundown of the several powertrain options it may get:

VariantsBase RWDLong Range RWDLong Range AWDGTX
Power (PS)170 PS286 PS286 PS340 PS
Battery Pack52 kWh77 kWh77 kWh77 kWh
DrivetrainSingle-motor rear-wheel driveSingle-motor rear-wheel driveDual motor all-wheel driveDual motor all-wheel drive
Claimed Range360 km541 km521 km510 km

Note: These are the ID.4 specs as they are available in the UK market.

You can top off the ID.4 battery from 10 to 80 percent in 28 minutes with its 135kW DC fast charging capability. A full recharge of the battery from empty would require eight hours of 11kW AC fast charging.

Price and Competitors

The Volkswagen ID.4 is anticipated to retail for approximately Rs 65 lakh (ex-showroom) when it arrives in India. It will compete with the future Skoda Enyaq, the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Kia EV6, and the Volvo XC40 Recharge.
