Kia India has launched the Sonet Aurochs Edition in the country from Rs 11.85 lakh (ex-showroom). This new special edition model is based on the mid-spec HTX trim and comes with the choice of either the turbo-petrol or diesel powertrain options. And as for the premium you need to pay, we have detailed the variant-wise pricing in the table below:

You’d have to shell out Rs 40,000 more for the Aurochs Edition over the HTX trim it’s based on. 

Orange is the theme for the Aurochs edition. As you can see, the inserts in the grille, bumper, doors and wheel hub caps get a very tasteful (yet not overdone) splash of orange. Also exclusive to this trim are the skid plates at the front and rear that lend a rugged look. And lastly, on the outside, there’s an ‘Aurochs’ badging on the nose to remind you what you’re driving. 

The Sonet Aurochs Edition comes in four shades: Gravity Grey, Aurora Black Pearl, Sparkling Silver and Glacier White Pearl.

Note: Top-end variant's interior image used for representation purposes. 

Changes on the inside are even more limited. Subtle splashes of orange can be found on the stitching of the gear lever and steering wheel and that’s about it. Also, this being based on a mid-spec trim means it misses out on niceties such as ventilated front seats, a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and six airbags. 

But as a package, the Sonet Aurochs Edition still gets plenty of kit including an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic climate control, a sunroof and cruise control. Passenger safety is taken care of by four airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control and rear parking sensors. 

As we mentioned above, the Sonet Aurochs Edition is offered with a choice of a 1-litre turbo-petrol or a 1.5-litre diesel engine. And in this model, both the automatic and iMT gearboxes are on offer. Take a look at the detailed specifications:

The Kia Sonet continues to lock horns with models such as the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Mahindra XUV300 and Nissan Magnite. Internationally, the Korean marque has begun testing the facelifted model, at which you can take a closer look here.
