Kia lined up a refreshed Sonet and a face lifted Seltos for launch in May. Both models will sport the new Kia logo.

Kia has announced plans to bring one new model to India in early 2022, making it its fourth offering since its entry in mid-2019. The South Korean major claims to be the fastest brand to hit sales of 250,000 in India. The company achieved the feat in 22 months.

The announcement was part of the new brand identity adopted by Kia in India under which it has dropped the word 'Motors' from its company name. India is Kia's first international market to get the new brand identity.

However, Kia did not give details of the new model, the South Korean car brand confirmed that the launch will mark its entry into a new segment.

The plant, which currently has a capacity to produce 300,000 units per year and is operating in two shifts, has seen investments of $2 billion by Kia and its vendor partners.
