Kia India, one of the fastest-growing premium carmakers in the country, 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 10 Lakh with the introduction of Smartstream G1.0 HTK iMT.
Further enhancing the value proposition of top-of-the-line trims, the GTX+ variants in Seltos now get Solar Glass and White callipers in front and rear. Strengthening the X-line offering, Kia India has launched the Aurora Black Pearl colour option with an all-black glossy look along with the existing Matt Graphite option. The new GTX variant will boast features like ADAS, a sliding armrest, and a 360-degree camera, to name a few, over the HTX variant.
In Sonet, the changes aim to bring in-demand new-age features like ISOFIX, Wireless Phone charger, Rear Wipers and Washers, and Diamond-Cut Alloy Wheels, to name a few, to the lower trims as well. The introduction of GTX variants in the line-up further enhances the value proposition of GT Line trims in Sonet.
Commenting on the launches, Mr. 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. 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.”
