Kia automobile brand ranks third in sales within Kazakhstan, witnessing a 4.1% growth. Last month, 2207 units were purchased, predominantly featuring the K5 and K8 models. The accomplishment is attributed to a supportive financing program.

heck yeah, let's talk Kia cars in Kazakhstan! Here's the lowdown on the Koreans ruling the roads in '25.

As April rolled around in '25, Kia proves it's a force to be reckoned with, nabbing third place among the big dogs in Kazakhstan's official new car sales. According to the Kazakhstan's Automobile Union, they peddled 2,207 Kia cars, a 4.1% jump from March. That's a helluva success! The Korean brand's market share increased from 11.2% in March to 12% in April. Now that's what I call a surge!

The dynamic duo, Kia K5 and K8 sedans, reign supreme in their respective segments D and E, scoring the best sales for both April and the January-April 2025 period. Meanwhile, the versatile Sportage crossover SUV held onto third place in the C-SUV segment, with 1,000 units sold, and as Kia's top seller in Kazakhstan!

From January to April 2025, Kazakh buyers snapped up 7,112 Kia cars, a whopping 8% hike compared to the same period in the previous year. That's a whole lotta Kias cruising around Kazakhstan!

So, what's the key to Kia's continued popularity? A fresh and expanded lineup of models, plus finance products that will make your mouth water! They've got attractive credit plans from 4% to 7 years on kid-approved Kia models like Seltos, Sportage, Ceed, Cerato, K5, and K8. That's a sweet deal if ever I've heard one!

Now, if you're in Pavlodar, wanna spill on your Kia experience, go for it! Here's a sampling of the buzz around Kia:

"Kia is great!" - KIA Cars Rating Павлодар

"Not so dynamic, especially the Kazakh-made ones. On the outside, they're like a tiger, but on the inside, it's like an elderly possum. Maybe the weight affects it. The engine and transmission seem to hesitate on normal modes. On sport mode, the dynamics become normal, like in Camrys or Mitsubishis." - Batyr

"Advertising is the engine of trade."

"They're not dynamic. They're Kazakh-made. All show and no go. The weight probably affects it. The engine and transmission feel sluggish in normal modes. Switch to sport mode and it's like driving a Camry or a Mitsubishi. In traffic, it's a middle-of-the-road car or slightly behind. But the exterior design is aggressively striking." - Tiger

"Advertising is the lifeblood of business."

As Kia continues to grow its reach in Kazakhstan, keep an eye out for their strategic moves like the upcoming plant in the Qostanay region, ready to crank out 70,000 cars a year! That's a whole lotta Koreans takin' over Kazakhstan roads!

  • In the heart of the automotive industry, finance plays a crucial role in Kia's surge in Kazakhstan's market, with attractive credit plans ranging from 4% to 7 years available for popular models like Seltos, Sportage, Ceed, Cerato, K5, and K8.
  • As Kia eyes further expansion in Kazakhstan's transportation sector, the anticipated plant in the Qostanay region aims to produce 70,000 cars annually, positioning Kia as a significant player in Kazakhstan's automotive industry and beyond, with a potential impact on both the finance and transportation sectors.
