Kia Unveils Gravity Edition: Enhancing the Seltos, Sonet, and Carens Experience
Kia has made a significant splash in the Indian automotive market over the past five years, carving out a niche that blends style, efficiency, and comfort. To celebrate this milestone, the brand recently introduced the exciting Gravity Edition variants of its popular models: the Seltos, Sonet, and Carens. These new iterations come with cosmetic enhancements and feature additions that elevate their appeal, making them a remarkable choice for buyers looking for both functionality and flair.
Kia Seltos Gravity Edition: What’s New?
The Kia Seltos Gravity Edition, based on the mid-spec HTX trim, is designed to cater to those who crave a bit more sophistication. Priced at Rs 16.63 lakh for the 1.5 Petrol MT variant and going up to Rs 18.21 lakh for the Diesel MT, it maintains the Seltos’ core strengths while integrating several features typically reserved for higher trims.
Powering this striking SUV is a choice between a 1.5-litre petrol engine churning out 115 hp—which can be mated to either a manual or a CVT gearbox—and a 1.5-litre diesel engine with a modest 116 hp, available in manual configuration. It offers buyers three stunning color options: Glacial White Pearl, Aurora Black Pearl, and Dark Gun Metal (Matte).
What sets the Gravity Edition apart is its blend of aesthetics and advanced tech. With a dashcam for that added peace of mind, ventilated front seats for those hot summer drives, and a Bose sound system that transforms your cabin into a concert hall, this model promises comfort across the board. The 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster adds a touch of modernity, while the 17-inch alloys and ubiquitous Gravity emblem ensure it stands out on the road. Inside, the Indigo Pera color scheme delivers a fresh and upscale feel that enhances the driving experience.
Kia Sonet Gravity Edition: What’s New?
Next in line is the Kia Sonet Gravity Edition, an enticing upgrade to the popular compact SUV, designed for urban dwellers who prioritize both space and technology. The starting price of Rs 10.50 lakh for the 1.2 Petrol MT climbs to Rs 12 lakh for the Diesel MT variant. Like its larger sibling, the Sonet’s Gravity Edition is also loaded with features and offers a choice between three engines, including a spirited 1.0-litre turbo-petrol that generates 120 hp via an iMT gearbox.
Available in Pearl White, Aurora Black Pearl, and Matte Graphite, the Sonet holds a commanding presence, especially with its distinctive white brake calipers and exclusive Gravity Edition logos. Comfort is well-covered thanks to numerous upgrades over the HTK+ trim, such as a wireless charger, a front-door armrest, and rear adjustable headrests that aim to cater to the everyday requirements of modern families. The 16-inch alloy wheels and rear spoiler add a sporty touch that enhances its aesthetic appeal.
Kia Carens Gravity Edition: What’s New?
Lastly, the Kia Carens Gravity Edition rounds out the lineup, targeting families in search of spacious and versatile transportation. Positioned just above the Premium (O) trim, this edition starts at Rs 12.10 lakh for the 1.5 Petrol MT variant, advancing to Rs 14 lakh for the Diesel MT. Like its counterparts, the Carens provides a selection of robust engines, including the new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine generating 160 hp—perfectly catering to the power-hungry audience.
This Gravity Edition offers a blend of luxury and practicality, providing a single-pane sunroof, artificial black leather seats, and LED map and room lamps that brighten up this sizeable cabin. The interior’s touchpoints are enhanced by leatherette door center trims and comfortable armrests, providing an inviting ambiance for long journeys. The introduction of the Gravity emblem throughout keeps the theme consistent.
Conclusion
As the automotive landscape continues to evolve, Kia’s move to introduce the Gravity Edition variants reflects its commitment to providing enhanced features at attractive price points. Each model now not only fulfills its practical role but also elevates the owner’s experience, making them much more than simple means of transportation. Whether you’re drawn to the rugged versatility of the Seltos, the urban charm of the Sonet, or the family-oriented Carens, there’s a Gravity Edition that resonates with every driver’s aspirations. With these refreshing offerings, Kia is poised to capture even more hearts in the Indian market—proving once again that they understand and cater to the ever-changing demands of the modern automotive enthusiast.
Speeding into the future, the Gravity Editions stand testament to Kia’s innovative spirit, promising exhilarating journeys for all who choose to take the wheel.
