Kia Sonet Facelift: Unleashing the Future of Compact SUVs with Stylish Upgrades and Advanced Safety Tech!

New Delhi: Kia India has enthralled automotive enthusiasts by revealing another glimpse of the much-awaited Kia Sonet facelift, which promises not only a refreshed design but also a technological upgrade. The South Korean automaker has confirmed the inclusion of an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) with an aim to reinvigorate the appeal of the Sonet and bring it in line with the contemporary demands of the market.

The teaser reveals an attractive redesign at the rear, with connected LED taillights reminiscent of the Kia Seltos facelift. The revised bumper adds a touch of sophistication to the beauty of the Sonet. The instrument panel borrowed from the Kia Seltos facelift ensures a seamless blend of style and functionality.

Under the hood, the facelift retains its engine lineup, offering a 1.2-litre petrol engine, a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. Transmission options will remain the same as the existing lineup.

With an estimated price range of Rs 8 lakh to Rs 15 lakh (ex-showroom), the Kia Sonet facelift is set to regain its market presence. The curtain will rise on December 14, with an official launch in January 2024. Prepare yourself for a harmonious blend of style, safety and performance in the revised Kia Sonet.
