What’s New About The 2024 Sonet?
The Sonet subcompact SUV is getting its first major update since its launch in 2020. Changes on the exterior comprise a redesigned grille, sharper LED headlights, longer fang-shaped LED DRLs, sleek LED fog lamps, updated connected LED taillights, and tweaked bumpers.
Its interior remains largely the same as the outgoing model, with a revised climate control panel. It still includes features like a sunroof, wireless phone charging, ventilated front seats, and cruise control. Additionally, Kia has introduced a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display similar to the Seltos and a 4-way powered driver seat inspired by the Hyundai Venue.
On the safety front, the new Sonet gets two important features which are a 360-degree camera and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Kia continues to equip it with other safety tech such as six airbags, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and front and rear parking sensors.
