The Kia Sonet Anniversary Edition, based on the HTX trim, has been launched from Rs 10.79  lakh (ex-showroom). The special edition SUV comes right in time for the Sonet’s first anniversary and is available with four powertrain options. 

Take a look at the prices:

As seen in the table above, the Sonet Anniversary Edition commands a standard premium of Rs 40,000 over the HTX.  

For the extra dough, the Sonet Anniversary Edition gets bespoke skid plates with orange highlights on the front grille and bumper, doors, side skirts, and rear bumper. A tinge of orange can also be found on the alloy wheel hub caps while the grille features an “Anniversary Edition badging.” 

These updates nicely gel along with four shades that are on offer: Gravity Grey, Aurora Black Pearl, Glacier White Pearl, and Steel Silver.

Since there is no mention of the interior, we suspect it’s similar to the standard model. Even the features list is exactly the same as the HTX, which includes an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, climate control, cruise control, electric sunroof, rear sunshade, and keyless entry with push-button start. 

Passenger safety is taken care of by dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, electronic stability control, and ISOFIX child seat mounts.  

The Sonet Anniversary Edition can be had with either the 120PS 1-litre turbo-petrol or 1.5-litre diesel engine options. It can be had with both manual (clutchless in turbo-petrol) and automatic transmissions. 

Take a look at the detailed specifications:

Also on offer in the standard Sonet is the 83PS 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, paired with a 5-speed manual.  

The Kia Sonet locks horns with the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Mahindra XUV300, Nissan Magnite, and Renault Kiger.
