Kia Sonet Turbo GTX DCT Updates

Tuesday, 09 July 2024 08:58 AM Kia has introduced the new GTX trim for the Sonet, positioned between the HTX+ and GTX+ trims, priced at Rs 13.71 lakh ex-showroom. This variant comes with a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, or a 1.5-litre diesel engine mated to a 6-speed automatic. The Sonet GTX features a 360-degree camera, ventilated front seats, and a 4-way powered driver’s seat. I think this new trim offers a great balance of performance and features, making it an attractive option for buyers.

Thursday, 04 July 2024 08:17 PM The Kia Sonet GTX trim has been enhanced with several new features, including 16-inch crystal cut alloy wheels, a tiger nose grille with dark metallic surrounds, and front and rear skid plates. Inside, it boasts all-black interiors with sporty white inserts, sporty alloy pedals, and black leatherette seats. The GTX trim also includes a 360-degree camera and a blind spot viewing monitor. I believe these additions significantly elevate the Sonets appeal in the subcompact SUV segment.

Wednesday, 03 July 2024 09:36 PM Kia India has revamped the variant lineup for the Sonet, introducing the GTX trim which includes advanced safety features like ADAS, although it is limited to the GTX+ and X Line variants. The Sonet GTX, however, gets a 360-degree camera and a blind spot monitor. This trim is available with either a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol or a 1.5-litre diesel engine. I think the absence of ADAS in the GTX trim might be a slight drawback, but overall its a solid upgrade.

Wednesday, 03 July 2024 05:54 PM The new Kia Sonet GTX trim is part of Kias strategy to offer customers the latest technology and best value for their money. According to Myung-sik Sohn, Chief Sales Officer at Kia India, the introduction of GTX trims aims to provide customers with the thrill of driving a GT line while keeping them updated with the latest automotive innovations. I think this approach will help Kia maintain its competitive edge in the Indian market.

Wednesday, 03 July 2024 06:57 AM Kia has also introduced a new colour option, Aurora Black Pearl, for the Sonet GTX and other variants. This all-black glossy look is part of the X-Line avatar and adds a sleek, sporty appearance to the vehicle. Additionally, the Sonet GTX features dual 10.25-inch screens for the infotainment and instrument cluster, along with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. I believe the new colour and tech upgrades will make the Sonet even more appealing to potential buyers.
