Kia India is refreshing its trim line-up for Seltos and Sonet with the introduction of 5 new variants and X-Line in a new avatar. The vehicles now have 21 and 22 variants, respectively, with the addition of 4 GTX variants in Petrol DCT and Diesel AT powertrain and transmission options.
Customers now also have the option to buy a Sonet with a turbo petrol engine under Rs 10 lakh with the introduction of the Smartstream G1.0 HTK iMT variant.
The GTX+ variants in Seltos now get Solar Glass and White callipers in front and rear, while the X-line gets the Aurora Black Pearl colour option with an all-black glossy look along with the existing Matt Graphite option. The new GTX variant gets ADAS, a sliding armrest, and a 360-degree camera, to name a few, over the HTX variant.
With the Sonet, the changes aim to bring features like ISOFIX, wireless phone charger, rear wipers and washers, and alloy wheels, to name a few, to the lower trims as well.
Commenting on the launches, Myung-sik Sohn – Chief Sales Officer, Kia India, said, “Constant evolution and customer centricity have been the key to Kia’s success in India. The product enhancements are part of the same strategy, offering our customers the latest technology, features, and best value for the money they spend.”
He added, “The introduction of GTX trims will not only offer our customers the thrill of driving a GT line but also keep them abreast of the latest and best automotive innovations packed in a car. Other offerings like a turbo petrol Sonet under 10 Lakh and black-themed X-line are part of offering our customers the utmost choice so that they don’t have to compromise on their aspirations.”
