Kia Sonet

The Kia Sonet has carved a strong niche in India’s subcompact SUV market thanks to its eye-catching design, practical features, and great value for money. The recently unveiled 2024 facelift adds even more to its appeal with refreshed styling, updated tech, and a wide range of trims and powertrains to suit every type of buyer.

What’s New in the 2024 Kia Sonet?

The facelift doesn’t shake things up mechanically—it retains the same petrol, turbo-petrol, and diesel engine options—but it brings in a sharp new design and an upgraded features list. The most noticeable changes are on the outside, with all-LED lighting, including Crown Jewel LED headlamps, Star Map-style DRLs, Ice Cube fog lamps, and connected LED tail lights that give it a premium look.

Tech and Comfort Inside

Step inside, and you’re greeted by a high-tech cabin with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a matching 10.25-inch infotainment screen. Features like LED ambient lighting, an electric sunroof, and connected car technology add to the premium feel. The ADAS Level 1 safety suite, including features like Forward Collision Warning and Lane Keep Assist, brings an extra layer of confidence on the road.

Variants and Trims

Kia continues with its familiar three-line structure—Tech Line, GT Line, and X-Line—and offers seven variants: HTE, HTK, HTK+, HTX, HTX+, GTX+, and X-Line. Whether you’re budget-conscious or looking for top-end luxury, there’s a Sonet variant for you.

Mileage and Performance

Fuel efficiency remains one of the Sonet’s strong points, especially with the 1.5-liter diesel, which is known for delivering excellent mileage without sacrificing performance. Petrol and turbo-petrol options also cater to different driving needs, with manual, iMT, DCT, and automatic transmissions to choose from.
