In addition, it hosts 10 best-in-segment features, including a dual-screen Connected Panel Design, Rear Door Sunshade Curtain, All Door Power Window one touch Auto up/down, and Smartpure Air purifier with Virus and Bacteria protection to name a few.After introducing industry-first standard 6 airbags in Carens and segment-first in Seltos, Kia is redefining safety norms once again.

The Programme is being introduced initially for Kia Sonet owners.
