  • What's New on Kia Sonet?

    The Kia Sonet has made waves in the Indian market with its appealing design and feature-rich package. As a subcompact SUV, the Sonet Kia offers a variety of options for different preferences and budgets. The new Kia Sonet facelift has recently been unveiled, bringing a fresh design and updated features for 2024. This facelifted model has prices ranging from Rs 7.99 lakh to Rs 15.69 lakh (ex-showroom), and deliveries are set to begin in January 2024, with diesel manual variants arriving in February 2024.

    The Kia Sonet facelift 2024 maintains the powertrain options and trims from the previous model, offering three main trims: X-line, GT-line, and Tech line, along with seven variants: HTE, HTK, HTK+, HTX, HTX+, GTX+, and X-line. The facelift introduces a new styling that includes all LED lighting, with features like crown jewel LED headlights, star map pattern LED DRLs, Ice Cube LED fog lamps, and connected LED tail lights. The LED headlights are available from the HTX variant and above, while other LED features are offered from the HTK+ trim onwards. Wheel options range from 15-inch steel wheels on the base trim to 16-inch alloy wheels on higher trims.

    In terms of the Kia Sonet interior, the cabin is equipped with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a touchscreen infotainment system of the same size. The interior also boasts LED ambient sound lighting and an electric sunroof, enhancing the driving experience. Safety is a priority, with six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, and Level 1 ADAS features like forward collision warning and lane keep assist.

The 2024 Kia Sonet Facelift brings significant updates to one of India’s most popular subcompact SUVs. Initially launched in 2020, the Sonet created new benchmarks in its segment by offering a combination of SUV styling, tech-loaded interiors, and value for money. The 2024 model aims to build on that success with fresh exterior styling, enhanced interiors, and updated tech features, including Level 1 ADAS.

Kia offers the 2024 Sonet in three trims: Tech-Line, GT-Line, and the more premium X-Line. The latter two trims, in particular, are offered with both turbo petrol and diesel engine options, giving consumers a wide range of choices depending on their driving preferences

The 2024 Kia Sonet borrows several design elements from its elder sibling, the Kia Seltos, resulting in a more aggressive, premium appearance. The front now features a more prominent tiger-nose grille flanked by new crown jeweled LED headlamps and star-map pattern DRLs. These updates lend a sense of sophistication while maintaining the SUV’s bold character.

2024 Kia Sonet Design
Design AspectDetails
Front FasciaBold tiger-nose grille, inverted L-shaped LED headlamps, and star-map LED DRLs
Wheel Options15-inch steel wheels on lower trims, 16-inch crystal cut alloy wheels for Tech-Line, GT-Line
TaillampsStar-map LED connected taillights for a premium rear look
Color OptionsAvailable in dual-tone combinations, with premium paints like Titan Grey and Aurora Black Pearl

Kia has ensured that the visual differences between the three trims (Tech-Line, GT-Line, and X-Line) have been minimized, making all variants equally appealing. The GT-Line features dark chrome inserts, while the X-Line opts for a piano black treatment, offering buyers a choice between sporty and elegant styling.

2024 Kia Sonet Back View

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.

    Kia Sonet addresses almost every requirement of a buyer in Sub compact SUV segment . Great looks, good engines and transmission, descent interior space, superb interior quality, largest boot in segment, good ride and handling, and many first in segment features...some reviews on social media has complained of cramped rear seats space but I haven't found any issues .My height is more than 5'10 and after adjusting driver's seat according to my height there is enough legroom space for rear passenger of even more than 6 feet. Shoulder room for three large adults may be a little tight but acceptable keeping in view of competition. And you won't drive with full five adults always, what really matters is largest bootspace of 392 litres which is useful in family shopping and luggage placing for long tours. High ground clearance of 205 mm is really helpful in broken and hilly terrain and steering response is confident. What I personally feel is that ride quality is not plush or absorbing like Tata nexon but comparable to the rest of segment. My requirement was a silent and powerful fuel efficient diesel engine with good features and Sonet HTX manual diesel fulfilled that with added strong drivability. I have purchased car 2 weeks back and driven it for 900 Kms and I'm very happy with my decision..I will keep posting further pros and cons as I drive it more and more...for fuel efficient concerns it's giving me 18.1 kmpl even I hardly shift to fifth gear due to road conditions..
