The Kia Sonet is a compact SUV that sits below the Seltos in Kia’s lineup. It was first introduced in 2020, with a focus on the Indian, Chinese, and emerging markets. However, as trends have evolved, some of the original design elements of this model have become outdated, warranting an upgrade.
Prior to its official launch later this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) in China has given us a sneak peek at the 2024 Kia Sonet Facelift’s appearance. Images released by the MIIT show that this model will adopt Kia’s latest and more sophisticated design language.
Specifically, the Kia Sonet Facelift features a wider grille and more intricate headlight details. The Kia logo has also been refined in a more minimalist direction. The new version of the Sonet replaces the slim taillights with more prominent light clusters.
Additionally, the front and rear bumpers have been adjusted, including the repositioning of the plastic trim and reflectors. These design changes contribute to the overall minimalistic and modern appearance of the car.
In China, the 2024 Kia Sonet Facelift is equipped with a naturally-aspirated G4FL 1.5L engine, producing a maximum output of 117 horsepower and paired with a CVT gearbox.
