Kia Seltos, Sonet and Carens get new Gravity Edition variants

Kia has launched a new Gravity Edition for Sonet, Seltos and Carens on the occasion of completing five years in our market. The Gravity Edition variants in all models get a few cosmetic updates and feature additions over the trim they are based on. Let’s take a closer look at what each one has to offer.

Kia Seltos Gravity Edition: what’s new?

Based on the mid-spec HTX trim, the Seltos Gravity Edition can be either had with the 115hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine paired with a manual or a CVT gearbox or a 116hp, 1.5-litre diesel unit with manual transmission. There are three colours to choose from: Glacial White Pearl, Aurora Black Pearl, and Dark Gun Metal (Matte).

It gets a new dashcam along with some features that are otherwise present in higher trims. These include ventilated front seats, a Bose sound system, an electronic parking brake (for petrol-CVT only) and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. As for looks, it sports 17-inch alloys, a gloss black rear spoiler, body-coloured door handles and an exclusive Gravity emblem. The interior comes finished in the Indigo Pera colour scheme.   

Kia Sonet Gravity Edition: what’s new?

The Sonet Gravity Edition is based on the HTK+ trim and is available with all three engines on offer with the Sonet: the 83hp, 1.2-litre petrol with a manual gearbox; the 120hp, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with an iMT gearbox, and the 116hp, 1.5-litre diesel engine with a manual gearbox. Colour options include Pearl White, Aurora Black Pearl and Matte Graphite.

It has a wireless charger, a dashcam, a front-door armrest, 60:40 split seats, rear adjustable headrests and a rear armrest with cup holders – bits that are missing in the HTK+ trim. On the outside, it has white brake calipers, a Gravity Edition logo, a rear spoiler and 16-inch alloy wheels.

Kia Carens Gravity Edition: what’s new?

The Carens Gravity Edition is based on the Premium (O) trim and is available in three versions. The least expensive one has the 115hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine with a manual gearbox. The next one has a 160hp, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine with the iMT gearbox. Then, there’s the diesel variant with a 116hp, 1.5-litre unit paired with a manual gearbox.

Equipment additions over the Premium (O) include a dash cam, a single-pane sunroof, artificial black leather seats, leatherette door-centre trims and armrests, LED map and room lamps, and the Gravity Emblem.
