Kia
Sonet Variant Details Leaked Ahead Of Official Debut
The
upcoming Kia Sonet will reportedly be offered in both
GT Line and Tech Line options, in a total of 7 variants. Bookings for the subcompact
SUV are expected to commence from August 7, while the official launch is slated
for the first week of September 2020.
The much-awaited Kia Sonet subcompact SUV is all set to make
its global debut on August 7, 2020, and ahead of its official premiere, all
details regarding its variants have leaked online. Reportedly, like its older
sibling Kia Seltos, the new Sonet will
also come in two options GT Line and Tech Line (HT Line). While the former will
come in three variants - GTK, GTX and GTX+, the Tech Line will be offered in
four trims - HTE, HTK, HTX and HTX+. We have already told you that Kia will
start accepting bookings for the Sonet from August 7, and some of the dealers
we spoke to have told us that the booking amount could be up to ₹ 25,000, and
the official launch will happen in the first week of September.
The Kia Sonet will share its platform and engine
options with the Hyundai Venue, featuring a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated
petrol, a 1.5-litre diesel, and a 1.0-litre GDi turbo petrol engine.
Transmission options will include a 6-Speed manual, a 7-Speed DCT automatic
transmission, and the new iMT or 'intelligent manual transmission' that was
announced at the Auto Expo 2020. However, the iMT unit, which was supposed to
debut with the Sonet has already been introduced with the Hyundai Venue.
The Kia Sonet's
Tech Line variants will come with the 1.2-litre petrol, 1.5-litre diesel
engines, while the GT Line trims will get the 1.0-litre GDi turbo petrol
engine. The GT Line variants will get sportier styling with red exterior
accents, all-black interior with red contrast stitching and a flat-bottom
steering wheel, while the Tech Line trims will miss out on the red accents, and
are likely to get a dual-tone black-beige interior and a round steering wheel.
Interestingly, recently Hyundai too
introduced a Sport trim for
the Venue, which is similar to the GT Line variants of the Sonet.
In terms of features, Kia has
already confirmed that the new Sonet will come with LED headlights with LED
daytime running lamps and LED taillamps. Based on the several spy
photos we have seen recently, the SUV will also get sporty
alloy wheels, roof rails, beefy claddings and sharp character lines.
The cabin will feature a
segment-first 10.25-inch HD touchscreen infotainment system, which will also
feature the UVO Connected Car tech. The instrument panel comes with a MID unit
and separates digital read-out for the speedometer. Other features will include
engine start/stop button, cruise control, automatic climate control, central
armrest and more. It will come equipped with up to six airbags - including
front, side and curtain airbags.
