The sunroof becomes even more accessible on the Kia Sonet with these new variants

Many cars priced under Rs 30 lakh now offer more than one interior colour option, giving buyers additional choice

The price hike will be applicable to all mass market models, including Kia Sonet, Kia Seltos, and Kia Carens
