Exterior changes in the 2024 Kia Sonet facelift include a completely refreshed front fascia. The sub-4-metre SUV now features larger crown jewel LED headlights with new L-shaped LED DRLs. The front bumper has also been redesigned with new skid plates and horizontally-mounted fog lamps. At the rear, the Sonet sports a LED light bar that connects the two C-shaped LED tail lamps, along with a redesigned bumper and a roof-mounted spoiler. The SUV comes with new dual-tone 16-inch alloy wheels.
Moving to the interiors, one of the prominent updates is the introduction of a larger 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, borrowed from the Seltos. The Sonet also retains its 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, now accompanied by a small screen displaying climate control information and toggle controls. The upholstery has been revamped to provide a more sophisticated feel.
In terms of features, the facelifted Sonet now includes the Level 1 ADAS suite, which offers features like Front Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA), Leading Vehicle Departure Alert (LVDA), and Lane Following Assist (LFA). Additionally, all trims come with six airbags, hill-start assist, a tyre pressure monitoring system, and ESC. Higher trims offer additional features such as cornering lamps, a four-way powered driver’s seat, and a 360-degree camera with a blind-view monitor. Premium features like ventilated front seats, leatherette upholstery, a sunroof, and LED ambient lighting are available in the top-spec variants.
The Sonet facelift is equipped with three engine options. The first is a 1.2-litre petrol engine with 83hp, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The second is a 120hp turbo-petrol engine, and the third is a 1.5-litre diesel engine with 116hp. The turbo-petrol and diesel engines come with a 6-speed iMT, while the diesel variant now also has a 6-speed manual gearbox due to customer demand.
