This is just an upgraded version of the first-generation Kia Sonet, so the design changes are only evolutionary. The car is available in 8 solid exterior colors and 2 two-tone colors. In India, the 2024 Kia Sonet is offered in HTE, HTK, HTK+, HTX, HTX+, GTX+, GT Line, and GT X Line variants.
The exterior design changes are mainly focused on the front of the car. The LED daytime running lights are larger and more prominent. The LED headlights look similar to the previous version. There is a new grille and a new front bumper. The halogen projector fog lights have been replaced with horizontal LED lights that look more beautiful.
The rear taillights have also been redesigned to enhance the overall aesthetics of the new Sonet. In addition, the rear bumper has been refined in terms of design. The car is equipped with new 16-inch alloy wheels with two design styles.
Inside the cabin, the car receives a new digital instrument cluster shared with the Seltos facelift. In addition, the driver’s seat is now electrically adjustable in 4 directions – a feature that first appears in the sub-4m SUV segment in India.
Notably, the 2024 Kia Sonet Facelift is also equipped with traction control, a feature that first appears in this segment.
