Kia Expands Buyback Programme with Up to 75% Residual Value

Kia India has expanded its Assured Buyback Programme across its internal combustion engine (ICE), hybrid and electric vehicle (EV) portfolio. The programme aims to give eligible customers greater clarity about their vehicles’ future value and simplify the process of exchanging or upgrading to another car. This initiative offers multiple ownership plans based on vehicle type, tenure and annual mileage, catering to different driving requirements.

Kia Extends Assured Buyback Benefits Across Its Vehicle Range

The expanded programme covers several Kia cars, including the Sonet, Syros, New Seltos, Carens, Carens Clavis and Sorento, across applicable powertrain options. These include petrol, diesel, CNG, hybrid and electric cars, allowing customers to select plans according to their preferred vehicle and ownership needs.

By establishing an assured residual value at the time of purchase, the programme helps eligible buyers estimate how much their vehicle may be worth at the end of the selected period. This can make future financial planning and vehicle upgrades more predictable, subject to the programme's terms and conditions.

Assured Buyback Value and Plan Options

The programme offers different residual value commitments and tenure options depending on the powertrain. Customers can choose from multiple annual mileage limits based on their expected vehicle usage.

Programme detail	ICE models	EV models
Assured residual value after 3 years	Up to 75%	Up to 70%
Available tenure options	3, 4 or 5 years	3 or 4 years
Annual mileage options	10,000, 15,000 or 20,000 km	10,000, 15,000 or 20,000 km
Maximum cumulative mileage	Up to 1,00,000 km	Up to 1,00,000 km

Enrollment Through Authorised Kia Dealers

Customers can enroll in the programme through participating authorised Kia dealer partners when purchasing an eligible vehicle. At the end of the selected tenure, they can access the assured buyback value in accordance with their agreement.

The programme is independently administered by the relevant programme partner. Enrolment, vehicle eligibility, valuation and settlement are governed by the applicable terms and conditions and the agreement between the customer and the programme partner.

Car Junction Insights

Kia India’s expanded Assured Buyback Programme could help buyers plan future upgrades with greater clarity about their vehicle’s expected value. Its coverage across multiple powertrains gives customers more flexibility when choosing a car based on their driving needs and ownership plans. However, buyers should carefully review mileage limits, eligibility criteria and settlement terms before enrolling.
