Kia made its debut in the sub-4m SUV segment with the Sonet last week, but prices for the dual-tone variants were still under wraps, until now. Kia has now revealed that the dual-tone variants of the Sonet will sit at the top of the variants list with a premium of Rs 10,000 over their monotone counterparts.

The dual-tone variants are only available in the top-spec variants of both the GT Line and HT Line (GTX+ and HTX+). It comes with a choice of three primary colour options and black as the standard roof colour across all three options. The primary colours consist of red, white, and gold.

Only two engine options are available in the top-spec HTX+ and GTX+ variants: the 1.0-litre turbo petrol motor and the 1.5-litre diesel unit. The petrol engine gets the iMT and DCT transmission options whereas the diesel one gets a choice of MT and AT gearboxes. The dual-tone options are available in all four variants across both trims.

In its segment, the Ford EcoSport is the only sub-4m SUV to not offer a dual-tone option. All the Sonet’s other competitors such as the Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, and the newly launched Toyota Urban Cruiser offer dual-tone options, with the Nexon being the most affordable of them all starting at Rs 9.64 lakh.
