Kia finished December 2025 with a clear spike in sales, delivering 18,659 vehicles during the month. That is more than double the 8,957 units the brand sold in December 2024, resulting in a year-on-year growth of 105%.
Sonet did the heavy lifting again
That late surge helped Kia close calendar year 2025 at 280,286 units, up 15% over 2024, when it sold about 245,000 vehicles. The Sonet once again did the heavy lifting for the brand. Kia said the compact SUV crossed the 100,000-unit mark in 2025, making it the second year in a row that the model has achieved six-figure annual sales. The Sonet has remained Kia’s most reliable volume driver, particularly in urban and semi-urban markets.
