Stylish design
The Kia Sonet incorporates Kia’s DNA of emotive styling along with a premium and youthful appeal that creates a strong presence on local roads. The Sonet showcases a range of styling attributes that set it apart from its competitors, including a fresh interpretation of Kia’s signature tiger nose grille along with a stylish front skid plate underneath. The sporty silhouette is enhanced by the unique design and structure of the C-pillars, matched with a wraparound windscreen. The profile boasts a strong, sporty character thanks to the shape of the bonnet and bumpers, with strongly raked A-pillars and a rounded roofline imparting a greater road presence.
Comfortable, well-specced interior
Inside the Sonet offers a sophisticated cabin with a smooth, flowing dashboard that appeals to the young at heart and always connected consumers. Intelligent packaging has liberated plenty of leg room, head room and shoulder room, ensuring a comfortable travelling experience for the driver and passengers while making the Sonet one of the largest and most spacious vehicles in the B-SUV class. Luggage capacity is taken care of by an impressive 392 litres of boot space. The Sonet was designed to offer customers a car that ticks all the boxes while offering a selection of features that add value to the ownership experience. Creature comforts across the range include air-conditioning, Bluetooth, front and rear electric windows and a height-adjustable driver’s seat.

The digital instrument cluster presents important information to the driver in vivid clarity.
