Kia Sonet teased in India for the first time
Prepare yourselves as Kia, the automotive company, is on the brink of revealing the facelifted Kia Sonet. The initial teaser has just been released on Kia India’s YouTube page, causing ripples in the tech community. Scheduled for its grand debut on December 14th, this automotive masterpiece is undergoing a technological transformation that promises to captivate even the most seasoned enthusiasts.
In this brief 20-second teaser, the Sonet unveils its upgraded features in an orchestra of technological skill. Picture this: C-shaped headlights borrowed from the enhanced Sorent, a redesigned Tiger Nose grille exuding sophistication, and a carnival-inspired bumper with sleek fog lamps. We’re in the midst of an automotive tech heaven. And let’s not overlook the satin silver front skid plate; it’s the ultimate boss level in the game of upgrades.
The interior sneak peek is equally enticing. The central facia is a technological marvel with a climate control display snugly nestled between air vents, maintaining the iconic H-pattern design. But here’s the real showstopper—the 10.25-inch infotainment system towering over the dashboard, now added with touch-sensitive buttons for that extra surge of geeky delight. And for all you audio enthusiasts, brace yourselves—the flagship models are getting a premium Bose sound system.
India spills the beans on safety features with six airbags for all derivatives, and a tech parade featuring Forward Collision Warning, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, and Autonomous Emergency Braking.
Under the hood, the Sonet remains faithful to its power-packed line up. The 1.2-litre petrol, the 1.5 diesel, and the top-tier 1.0 T-GDI retain their power without any alterations.
Despite the stringent BS6.2 emissions rules in India, the Sonet boldly maintains its diesel engine option—the 1.5 CRDI. And yes, it’s business as usual with a five-speed manual, six-speed automatic, and CVT transmissions.
Buckle up and prepare for a ride that’s well worth the upgrade!
