New features and design
There will be a lot of changes in the design of the 2024 Sonet compared to the pre-facelift model. The front features a redesigned grille with new inserts along with updated LED headlights and DRLs. From the side, except for the new alloy wheel design, the overall design is similar to the current Sonet. At the rear, the 2024 Sonet features an updated connected LED taillight setup inspired by the facelifted 2023 Seltos.
Inside, the cabin of the 2024 Sonet will feature a familiar dashboard design with a floating touchscreen infotainment system. It will also have a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, as seen in the teaser released by Kia. An earlier test mule of the 2024 Sonet also showcased the updated black/tan cabin colour theme and revised AC control panel, giving it a refreshed look.
The 2024 Sonet will carry forward features like the 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple Carplay/Android Auto, connected car technology, a sunroof, wireless phone charging, a Bose sound system, ventilated front seats, and cruise control.
The new Kia gets new safety features like a 360-degree camera and partial ADAS suite and will retain existing safety features including six airbags, ABS with EBD, front and rear parking sensors, a tyre pressure monitoring system, and electronic stability control.
As for the powertrain options, the 2024 Sonet will likely be offered with current engine choices which includes a 120PS 1-litre turbo-petrol, an 83PS 1.2-litre petrol, and a 116PS 1.5-litre diesel engine. Transmission choices include a 5-speed MT, 6-speed iMT, 6-speed AT, and 7-speed DCT depending on the engine option you pick.
Prices for the 2024 Kia Sonet are expected to be revealed in early 2024. It will command a premium over the current model, whose prices start from Rs 7.79 lakh (ex-showroom).
