Kia adds GTX Variant for Sonet and Seltos

Kia has updated its SUV lineup, introducing new variants and reshuffling powertrains for the Seltos and Sonet models. Both SUVs now feature a new GTX variant positioned between the HTX+ and GTX+ trims. The Seltos GTX, priced from Rs 18.99 lakh, offers 18-inch alloys, dual-zone climate control, ventilated front seats, and ADAS features. It's available with 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and diesel engines, both with automatic transmissions.

The Sonet GTX, starting at Rs 13.71 lakh, includes 16-inch alloys, LED fog lamps, 360-degree cameras, and ventilated front seats. It comes with either a 1.0 turbo-petrol-DCT or 1.5 diesel-AT powertrain.

Both models' X-Line variants now offer an Aurora Black Pearl color option. Kia has also discontinued some variants, including the Seltos GTX+ (S) and X-Line (S). The Seltos HTX+ is now diesel-manual only.

The Sonet sees more extensive changes, dropping the base HTE diesel variant and removing diesel manual options from HTK and HTX+ trims. The 1.0 turbo-petrol is now available in the mid-spec HTK variant, lowering the entry price for this engine to Rs 9.60 lakh.
