Kia India has officially unveiled the updated Kia Sonet Facelift in the Indian market. The manufacturer revealed the much-awaited facelift at an event held in Delhi on December 14, 2023.

It comes with new headlight units, 16-inch alloy wheels, and a front bumper. The Sonet becomes the first facelift for the sub-4 metre SUV to get revamped exterior styling.

The 2024 Sonet comes in eight single-tone color schemes and two double-tone hues. The matte shade is specially designed for the X line. The monotone color options include White, Olive, Grey, Silver, Red, Black, Clear White, and Blue. The double-tone hues are in White and Red color with Black roof.
