The leaked document sheds light on new features, engine options, and color choices for the upgraded model.
Expected features and variants of the upcoming SUV
Exciting new features in the Kia Sonet (facelift) will include a powered driver's seat, along with first-in-segment traction modes (Sand, Mud, and Wet) with automatic variants. The ADAS suite meets Level-1 standards, boasting eight features such as Lane Keeping Assist and High Beam Assist. Other notable features include a 360-degree-view camera and a 10.2-inch fully digital instrument cluster. The facelift will be available in seven variants: HTE, HTK, HTK+, HTX, HTX+, GTX+, and X Line.
The SUV will retain the current model's powertrain options
The facelifted Sonet will continue to offer the same engine options as the current version. The list includes a 1.2-liter, naturally aspirated, petrol engine; a 1.0-liter turbo-petrol unit; and a 1.5-liter diesel motor. It would likely be available with a five-speed manual, six-speed manual, six-speed iMT, and a seven-speed DSG gearbox. The brochure shows there will still be no manual options for top-spec GTX+ and X Line variants.
Color options for the new Sonet
The Sonet (facelift) will be available in eight monotone colors, including a new Pewter Olive shade, along with two dual-tone options: Intense Red and Glacier White Pearl with an Aurora Black Pearl roof. The top-spec X Line trim will get an exclusive Xclusive Matte Graphite shade.
