Kia Sonet Facelift: Kia launched one of the most awaited sub-compact SUVs, the Kia Sonet Facelift on December 14 this month. Earlier this year, the brand launched the popular Kia Seltos Facelift in the subcontinent which received a great deal of attention from the customers and now Kia Sonet has arrived with similar upgrades. The new Sonet has received some major updates in its interiors and exteriors. If you are planning to buy the all-new Sonet Facelift, check out the variant-wise features of the new compact SUV below.
Kia Sonet: Upgrades
The 2024 Kia Sonet Facelift comes with several notable upgrades which comprise an all-new front fascia that now features a new Grille, new DRL and LED headlight setup, alloy wheels, a redesigned bumper, three new Alloy wheel designs to choose from. The compact SUV also gets LED tail lights and a connected LED bar at the rear side which looks similar to the Seltos facelift. More importantly, the Kia Sonet facelift gets some segment’s first features such as ADAS technology. Additionally, the car comes with six airbags as a standard feature across all trims.
Kia Sonet Facelift Variants
Kia has launched the all-new Sonet facelift in 7 variants which include both diesel and petrol powertrain variants. The compact SUV has 6 engine and transmission options across all trims. However, the standard HTE variant of the sub-4 metre SUV lacks some of the major features advertised by Kia Motors. The base HTE trim lacks LED headlights as it features Halogen lamps and it comes with smaller alloy wheels than the higher trims which are 15-inch wheels. The standard models also lack ventilated and powered driver seats and a bigger 10.2-inch display as it comes with a smaller 4.2-inch infotainment screen
If we go higher for the HTK and HTK+ variants on offer, they get most of the updates received by the sub-compact SUV. The top-end models HTX and HTX+ differentiate with their cosmetic make-up inside and out crown jewelled LED headlamps and dual-tone interiors. Going to the top, Kia also offers GTX+ and X-Line variants of the sub-compact SUV which are the highest-priced variants of the SUV and ADAS technology remains the USP of X-Line trim.
