Design Changes Detailed

Kia has enhanced the Sonet's appearance with crisp styling at the front and rear, particularly through updated lighting elements like the LED DRLs and connected tail lamps. While the cabin modifications are minimal, its dashboard layout remains largely unchanged save for the redesigned climate control panel.

Features In Plenty

The Kia Sonet has undergone a substantial feature upgrade, which has once again positioned it as one of the most well-equipped SUVs in its segment. Notable additions include a 10.25-inch digital driver's display, a 360-degree camera, six airbags (as standard), and a 4-way power-adjustable driver's seat. Among the big enhancements is the provision of 10 level-1 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
