New Delhi: Kia India has rolled out a limited-period discount scheme combining Pre-GST savings and festive benefits, offering customers total savings of up to ₹2.25 lakh on select models. The initiative, valid till 22 September 2025, comes just before GST 2.0 rates officially kick in.
The savings are spread across popular models including the Seltos, Carens, and the recently launched Carens Clavis, with the benefit slabs varying by region. The company confirmed that these combined benefits include Pre-GST relief of up to ₹58,000 and festive offers up to ₹1.67 lakh.
From Kerala to Karnataka, the savings look different depending on the state. For instance, in Kerala, Seltos buyers stand to save the maximum of ₹2.25 lakh, while in Karnataka, the highest benefit is pegged at ₹2.1 lakh. Tamil Nadu buyers are seeing relatively higher benefits on the Carens Clavis, while Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are offering up to ₹2 lakh on the Seltos.
Here’s a snapshot of how the numbers break down across regions:
| Region/State | Seltos Savings | Carens Clavis Savings | Carens Savings |

Festive season deals have always been a big draw in India’s auto market. Buyers planning purchases around Dussehra and Diwali often wait for such schemes, and the timing of Kia’s announcement is no accident. Savings touching ₹2.25 lakh make the Seltos particularly attractive for middle-class families looking at an upgrade.
