Upcoming Kia Sonet Spotted In A New Unlisted Orange Shade

New spy photos of the Kia Sonet have surfaced online, and while we know that the SUV has already been unveiled, these new ones warrant attention. The Kia Sonet in these photos come in a special orange exterior colour, which is not listed on the company's website among its official colours. It's possible this could be a one-off, or a special colour will be introduced at the time of the launch or sometime in the near future. As of now, Kia dealers have opened unofficial pre-bookings for the new subcompact SUV, while the official bookings will commence later this month. The launch, of course, is slated for September 2020.
