Together with the Kia Seltos, which again began shipping to dealers a few days ago, the Kia Soul appeared in Russian car dealerships. The cars are transported from the Kaliningrad Avtotor plant, where they are assembled.
Surveyed dealers confirmed that deliveries of Kia Seltos and Soul crossovers from Avtotor resumed at the end of 2023.
“Cars are slowly being brought from Avtotor – Seltos and Soul. Although they started to be transported only now, according to the title they are manufactured in 2022,” said the manager of one of the Kia showrooms in Moscow. No other Kia models are expected from the Kaliningrad plant yet, but 2022 Sportage crossovers from old stocks remain in stock, along with 2023 cars with minimal mileage, which are supplied through parallel imports.
The St. Petersburg car showroom confirmed the arrival of at least two car transporters with new Kaliningrad-assembled Kia. Among them were Seltos crossovers in different trim levels.
“Cars were delivered before the New Year. There is a gray Seltos in the Luxe Plus package for 3.5 million rubles with a two-liter engine and a CVT. There are also three more cars in the Luxe configuration for 100 thousand. rubles cheaper – red, blue and white,” said the seller.
All cars assembled in Russia are provided with an official Kia warranty – five years or 150 thousand. km run.
