Kia India has refreshed its lineup ahead of the festive season by launching a new ‘Gravity Edition’ on the Sonet, Seltos, and Carens. These celebrate the manufacturer’s fifth year of operations in India. The Gravity edition adds a few upgrades, more features and new colours to the range.
2024 Kia Sonet Gravity Edition: Highlights
The Sonet is Kia’s smallest offering in India. The Gravity Edition brings a bunch of notable changes to the SUV. It gets a rear spoiler, R16 alloy wheels and a ‘Gravity’ badge on the exterior. On the inside, the Gravity edition gets Indigo Pera seats with Navy stitching, a leatherette gear knob and steering cover, split rear seats with adjustable headrests, and a rear central armrest with cupholders. The vehicle also gets a wireless charger and dash camera.
The Sonet Gravity Edition is available with all three engines- 1.0 TGDi, 1.5 diesel and 1.2 NA petrol. The 1.2 NA petrol is available with a 5-speed manual, while the turbo-petrol comes with a 6iMT. The diesel can be had with a 6-speed manual gearbox.
There are three colour options available- Pearl White, Aurora Black Pearl, and Matte Graphite. The Gravity Edition is positioned above the HTK+ variant and below the GT Line.
