Pros Cons of Kia Sonet

Pros

  • The 2024 Sonet facelift brings significant design updates, including a more imposing Tiger-Nose grille and sleek LED headlamps, giving it a more modern and bold look.
  • It is now equipped with Level 1 ADAS, offering advanced safety features such as Forward Collision Warning and Lane Keep Assist, enhancing overall driving safety.
  • The interior has been upgraded with a new 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster and premium features like ventilated seats, a wireless charger, and a Bose surround sound system, improving the overall driving experience

Cons

  • There is noticeable turbo lag in the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine, especially in lower RPMs, affecting responsiveness during city driving.
  • The ride quality is on the softer side, which may not provide enough confidence during aggressive cornering or high-speed maneuvers.
  • While the Sonet offers wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for higher trims, lower variants still only support wireless functionality, which feels inconsistent

Verdict

2024 Kia Sonet facelift offers a more premium experience with substantial upgrades in design, technology, and safety. While the turbo petrol engine’s lag and handling might not appeal to performance enthusiasts, its tech-forward features, safety enhancements, and comfortable cabin make it a standout in the subcompact SUV segment. The Sonet is an ideal choice for those looking for a stylish and feature-rich SUV at a competitive price.
