Kia Motors looks to ace SUV segment in India with Seltos and Sonet

South Korean automaker Kia Motors is vying for the top slot in the high selling entry-level, mid-SUV segments in India with Seltos and Sonet generating robust volumes for the company, according to a senior company official. The company, which reported its highest-ever retail sales in the country in September, has already raced to number one position in the sub-four meter compact SUV segment last month with its newly launched model Sonet dominating the segment. Kia sold 9,266 units of Sonet in September thus getting the better of the likes of Hyundai Venue and Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza. Similarly, it sold 9,079 units of Seltos last month to take the second spot behind Hyundai Creta which sold 12,325 units.

Both the models are high on design and features and come with wide range
