At present, Kiaâs global EV/hybrid lineup consists of the EV6, Soul EV, Niro EV, and Optima plug-in hybrid.
We already have word from Kia that it will not launch any new models in India in 2021. That said, we also have another word on the Korean carmaker’s plans for launching electric models in the country. While the plan to offer electrified models in India is still on, the folks at Kia are yet to take a call on whether Kia should offer hybrid or electric powertrains.

The Sonet automatic now comes with just the range-topping GTX+ variants, which are pricier by up to Rs 2.5 lakh
Kia has trimmed down the variants of the Sonet as well as the Seltos. The cut, which has only affected the automatic variants, does not affect the overall price of the two SUVs. The Sonet sees the removal of two variants, whereas the Seltos misses out on just one.
The Sonet is available in six variants under the GT Line and Tech/HT Line. These include HTE, HTK, HTK+, HTX, HTX+, and GTX+. From the three powertrains on offer, only the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engine-powered Sonet feature automatic variants. The mid-spec HTK+ automatic variants, which saw a 7-speed DCT paired with the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and a 6-speed automatic gearbox mated to the 1.5-litre diesel engine, have been axed.
