Unofficial bookings for the forthcoming Kia Sonet facelift have started in India. A few dealerships across the country have already started accepting bookings for the SUV. Kia is going to unveil the Sonet on December 14, 2023. Customers can reserve this updated model by paying a token amount of INR 20,000 to INR 25,000.

The forthcoming Sonet facelift will come with an updated rear profile and a revised front. On the exterior, the Sonet will get new features, including a slimmer patterned grille, bumper-mounted LED fog lamps, cube-shaped LED headlamps, inverted L-shaped LED DRLs, and a connected taillight setup.

Inside the cabin, the Kia Sonet facelift will continue to have rich features like a traditional dashboard design along with a floating touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay connectivity and wireless Android Auto, a wireless charger, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, a Bose-sourced music system, automatic climate control, auto-dimming IRVM, ambient lighting, and a digital instrument cluster.

The Sonet facelift will get safety features like a level 1 ADAS suite, a head-up display, a 360-degree surround camera, ABS with EBD, a tyre pressure monitoring system, electronic stability control, and six airbags. Kia earlier showcased a test mule of the updated SUV, and it had a new black/tan cabin color scheme and a redesigned AC control panel, giving it an attractive look.

The new Sonet is expected to come with the same powertrain option, incorporating a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol, a 1.5-litre diesel engine, and a 1.2-litre NA petrol. The SUV will have the same transmission options available in the outgoing model. Transmission duties are done by a 5-speed MT, 6-speed AT, or 7-speed DCT gearbox, and 6-speed iMT, depending on the engine one opts for. Prices for the updated Sonet are likely to be revealed in early 2024. It is expected to be more expensive than the outgoing model. The current model is priced at INR 7.79 lakh (ex-showroom). The 2024 Kia Sonet will give tough competition to the likes of the Mahindra XUV300, Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, and Nissan Magnite.
