Kia Sonet Gets A New ‘Aurochs’ Edition; Priced From Rs 11.85 Lakh

This new visually-enhanced-looking edition is based on the HTX Anniversary edition variant

• Gets tweaked front and rear skid plates and side door cladding with tangerine accents. 

• No changes to the interior and features list. 

• Continues with the same 1-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines, with the choice of iMT and automatic. 

• Commands Rs 40,000 over the HTX variant. 

Kia has silently introduced a new ‘Aurochs’ edition to the Sonet lineup. The limited-run edition is based on the existing HTX Anniversary Edition variant and is priced from Rs 11.85 lakh (ex-showroom). 

The Aurochs edition doesn’t exactly replace the Anniversary Edition, but you now get the latter only with this package. As a result, it doesn’t demand any premium over the Anniversary edition and is priced from Rs 11.85 lakh to Rs 13.45 lakh. Compared to the HTX variant, it’s Rs 40,000 costlier. 

What’s New?

The changes to the Aurochs Edition are just cosmetic. Up front, you get a tweaked skid plate design with tangerine accents. The same finish is seen on the grille and there’s the exclusive ‘Aurochs’ badging as well. It gets the same 16-inch alloy wheels but with the tangerine wheel cap surround. The side profile is further enhanced by a new skid plate with tangerine door garnish. The rear skid plate has also been tweaked with the redesigned which gets the tangerine accents. 

While the HTX variant can be had in six shades, this edition is available only in four options - Gravity Grey, Aurora Black Pearl, Sparkling Silver, and Glacier White Pearl.
