Kia India has just given its customer base yet another reason to celebrate with the introduction of an electric sunroof in the Sonet Smartstream G1.2 HTK+ variant. This move reflects Kia’s commitment to delivering not just stylish and practical vehicles but also a touch of luxury at an accessible price point. With the addition of this feature, Kia has redefined the entry-level offering in the sub-four-meter segment, making it an exciting prospect for Indian car buyers.
The integration of an electric sunroof into the Sonet Smartstream 1.2 HTK+ couldn’t have come at a better time. Modern consumers are increasingly looking for more than just basic transportation in their cars. They seek a blend of style, comfort, and advanced features, and an electric sunroof fits perfectly into this desire for an enhanced driving experience.
The electric sunroof is no longer considered a luxury reserved for high-end cars; it has become a sought-after feature even in more affordable segments. The ability to let in natural light and fresh air, along with the sense of openness it provides, can transform a regular drive into a delightful experience. Kia has recognized this shift in consumer preferences and has responded by making the electric sunroof accessible to a broader audience.
One of the most remarkable aspects of this announcement is the attractive price point. The Kia Sonet Smartstream G1.2 HTK+ with an electric sunroof is available at just Rs 9.76 lakh. This pricing strategy underscores Kia’s commitment to delivering value to its customers. It positions the Sonet Smartstream G1.2 HTK+ as an enticing option for individuals and families seeking an affordable yet premium compact SUV.
The Kia Sonet Smartstream G1.2 HTK+ is not just about the sunroof. It comes equipped with a Smartstream 1.2-litre petrol engine, generating 83 PS and 115 Nm of peak torque. The 20.32 cm (8.0-inch) touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto & Apple Carplay, wireless phone projection, a premium audio setup with 4 speakers and 2 tweeters, and a fully automatic air conditioner add to the overall driving comfort. Auto headlamps enhance safety, making the Sonet a well-rounded package in its segment. Kia is also working on updating the Sonet with a facelift. Test mules have already been spied.
Kia’s foray into the Indian market with the Sonet has been nothing short of a success story. Launched in 2020, the Sonet has rapidly gained the trust and admiration of over 3.3 lakh customers in just three years. It has helped Kia establish itself as a formidable player in the sub-four-meter segment.
Kia’s customer-centric approach is further exemplified by the recent introduction of a 3-year free maintenance and 5-year warranty coverage, making ownership even more worry-free. Additionally, the zero down payment option makes owning a Kia Sonet easier than ever.
