Kia India : Reinventing Ownership with 7-Year Extended Warranty
Kia India has significantly upgraded its aftersales offering by expanding its Extended Warranty program from 5 to 7 years for its most popular models: Seltos, Sonet, Syros, and Carens. This strategic move reinforces Kia India’s commitment to customer satisfaction, long-term reliability, and value retention.
