Nope. Looks like they altered their plans a bit and launched an affordable Tech-Line variant.

But rest assured there’ll more of such ‘special editions’ coming in.

Sonet will turn 4 (I guess) and we shall see an ‘anniversary edition’ soon.

A detailed look at the Seltos Gravity edition.



Honestly, I'm not impressed with it. The blue interior theme looks very ordinary while the variant misses out on a few important features, particularly 360 degree camera.

Kia should have launched a loaded variant with the NA IVT. This half baked effort won't cut it IMHO.

Nothing beats the HTX+ interior theme on Seltos. All other combinations across the range cannot beat the visual ambience of HTX+ interiors.

The blue color interior is too blue. Even my family did not like light bluish interior theme on Nexon creative variant. These awkward interior color combinations don't look classy as per my perspective.

Seltos HTX+ tan interior makes the interior feel lot more premium. The HTX+ variants are overpriced now for what they offer.

I posted some analysis from Telangana registration data of Creta vs Seltos sales on https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/india...ml#post5841099 (August 2024 : Indian Car Sales Figures & Analysis). HTX+ variant does not sell a lot. The highest sales is from HTX and GTX+ variants for August 2024

For Sonet, Kia is targeting the HTK+ MT buyers with the Gravity edition. HTK+ , the topmost MT variant had many features missing - no adjustable headrest, armrest, no alloys. Rear wiper and LED DRLs they had introduced recently. Dashcam and smartphone charger are a plus. Parcel tray is still missing though. Agree with most of the posters here that the blue colour is pathetic with the black - non-contrasting. However, HTX doesn't seem very attractive now - only plus points it has over the Gravity iMT are the rear disc brakes, cruise control, boot lamp - with around 30k over the Gravity and misses out on the dashcam.

FYI - Sonet sales breached the 10k mark in August.

Why would somebody buy this Gravity variant at this price point when spending 1 lakh rupees more will get you a fully loaded Creta IVT? Also, I would have preferred electric seats, 360 degree camera instead of Bose system.

For certain people, the length of the car matters. May be they are not comfortable driving a car longer than 4M, or they do not have enough space in their home to park a 4.3 M car.

Sorry for not making it clear. I was comparing Seltos' Gravity Edition IVT (which is 22+ Lakhs on-road, Chennai) with SX(O) Creta IVT (which is 23+ lakhs).
