Kia Sonet HTE, HTK, HTX, GTX+, X-Line Variants Explained: What's Different?

The Kia Sonet facelift is available in seven variants – HTE, HTK, HTK+, HTX, HTX+, GTX+, and X-Line. Read on to see what each variant offers:

<p>Kia India has finally launched the new Sonet at tempting introductory prices starting from Rs 7.99 lakhs (ex-showroom). This subcompact SUV comes in a variety of trim levels and engine options, including 19 variants with both petrol and diesel engine options. The new Sonet, which was unveiled last month by the Korean manufacturer, features a host of changes, such as a more modern exterior design and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Just like its sibling, the Seltos, the new Sonet is also available through the K-Code system. To guarantee priority delivery, any Kia owner can generate a K-Code. Let's take a look at the features of this facelifted model.</p>

<h2>New Kia Sonet: Design</h2>

<p><img alt="New Kia Sonet Rear View" src="/uploads/2024/01/SONET-20.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>A lot of work has gone into remodelling the Sonet's appearance after the recently refreshed Seltos. Updates to the vehicle's front grille, fog lights, and bumper give it a more modern look. Stylish LED headlights and futuristic Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) add to the overall appearance of the front fascia. The rear end features new LED taillights linked by an elegant LED strip and a revised bumper, adding to its rugged appearance. In addition, the car now features new alloy wheels, which give it a modern and updated appearance.</p>

<h2>New Kia Sonet: Safety Suite</h2>

<p>The Sonet now leads the segment in terms of safety, thanks to the addition of the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). Features like lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, high beam assist, lane following assist, driver attention warning, and leading vehicle departure alert are all part of its Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) suite. In addition, it mitigates possible dangers involving bicycles, pedestrians, and cars with features like forward collision warning and forward collision-avoidance aid. The inclusion of six airbags&nbsp;as standard further shows the company’s commitment to safety.</p>

<h2>New Kia Sonet: Interior</h2>

<p><img alt="New Kia Sonet Interior" src="/uploads/2024/01/SONET-8.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>The Sonet's digital instrument panel, which resublimes that of the Seltos, considerably adds to the overall driving experience. A state-of-the-art 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system is at the heart of the redesigned dashboard, providing greater functionality. Moreover, the Sonet also gets a premium Bose sound system, five customisable colours, ambient lighting, an electric sunroof, a digital instrument cluster, wireless charging, and power-adjustable front seats. Among other features are ventilated front seats, an array of connected car features, and a 360-degree camera.</p>

<h2>New Kia Sonet: Variants and Prices</h2>

<p>As previously mentioned, the New Sonet has been launched with special introductory prices starting at Rs 7.99 Lakhs (Ex-showroom) and going up to Rs 15.69 lakh for the higher-end diesel version.</p>

<h2>Kia Sonet Facelift: Mechanical Details</h2>

<p>Starting with&nbsp;technical details, the diesel-MT option for the Sonet, which was removed at the beginning of 2023, will return with the revamp. <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/kia/">Kia</a> has not yet disclosed the stated mileage for the diesel manual, though.&nbsp;The updated Sonet will come with three different powertrain options: a 1.2-litre petrol&nbsp;engine that can only be coupled&nbsp;to a manual transmission; a 1.0-litre turbocharged engine that can be mated to a dual-clutch transmission (DCT) or an intelligent manual transmission (iMT); and a 1.5-litre diesel&nbsp;unit&nbsp;that can be paired&nbsp;to a standard manual transmission, an iMT, or a torque converter automatic (AT).&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="2024 Kia Sonet Rear" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/12/2024-Kia-Sonet-Rear.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>As for the mileage, the 118bhp turbo-petrol in the Sonet is rated at 18.7km/l and 19.2km/l with a 6-speed iMT and a 7-speed dual-clutch auto transmission, respectively. On the other hand, the 82bhp petrol in the Sonet can only be had with a 5-speed manual transmission and is expected to achieve 18.83km/l. The 6-speed iMT version of the 114bhp Sonet diesel is rated at 22.3km/l, whereas the 6-speed torque converter variation gets an ARAI-certified rating of 18.6km/l.</p>

<h2>Kia Sonet Facelift: Rivals&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Upon launch, the upcoming car from Kia is expected to carry an ex-showroom&nbsp;starting price tag of Rs 8 lakh. When it comes to its direct competitors in the market, the new Sonet will go against the likes of the&nbsp;Mahindra XUV300, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx, the Hyundai Venue, the&nbsp;Nissan Magnite, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, the&nbsp;Renault Kiger, and the Tata Nexon.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Kia Sonet Facelift: Exterior</h2>

<p>Design-wise, a&nbsp;significant update has been made to the 2020-introduced Sonet&nbsp;with the recent facelift. Redesigned LED fog lamps, updated connected LED taillights, a more streamlined grille, tweaked&nbsp;LED headlights with bigger, fang-shaped LED DRLs, and reworked bumpers are some of the changes made&nbsp;to its exterior. Depending on whether you choose the Tech Line, GT Line, or X-Line trim,&nbsp;you get&nbsp;an upgraded design for the alloys as well.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Kia Sonet Facelift: Interior Layout</h2>

<p><img alt="2024 Kia Sonet Interior" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/12/2024-Kia-Sonet-Interior.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>On the feature front, the Sonet has a range of&nbsp;amenities&nbsp;along with cutting-edge tech. It&nbsp;distinguishes out as the first SUV in its class to have ADAS because none of its rivals currently offers the functionality. Lane departure warning, lane follow assist, and lane maintain assist are among the ten features provided by the ADAS system. There are twenty-five safety features&nbsp;on the Sonet, six of which are standard and essentially the same as those on its competitor, the Tata Nexon.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The updated cabin now features two 10.25-inch digital panels that may be utilised as a driver's display and an infotainment unit. Additional features include an air purifier, an electric sunroof, a power-adjustable driver seat, ventilated front seats, and a Bose sound system.</p>


2024 Kia Sonet Facelift India Launch on January 12: Here's What We Know So Far

The updated Kia Sonet boasts several new features, including ADAS, as well as a refreshed external design. The SUV can be had in three broad trims and seven variants. Furthermore, the pre-bookings for the model are underway for Rs 25,000.

<p>Kia India recently revealed the Sonet facelift's fuel efficiency numbers in advance of its upcoming official launch. Following its formal unveiling in December 2023, the firm began taking pre-orders for the 2024 iteration of the Sonet for a nominal amount of Rs 25,000.&nbsp;Once details regarding&nbsp;pricing are announced, deliveries will&nbsp;kick off across the nation.&nbsp;There are several different powerplant options available for the all-new sub-4-metre SUV.&nbsp;Here are the fuel efficiency numbers for each of the Sonet's engines together with the corresponding gearbox combinations. However, because the Sonet diesel manual is still undergoing certification, the South Korean automaker&nbsp;has not yet disclosed its mileage. Furthermore, it is important to note&nbsp;that these are ARAI-certified figures.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Kia Sonet Facelift: Fuel Efficiency Figures</h2>

<p>Before we get straight to the fuel economy figures, here are&nbsp;engine&nbsp;options for the car.&nbsp;Three different powertrain choices&nbsp;will be available for the updated Sonet: a 1.2-litre petrol mill&nbsp;that can only be paired with a manual transmission; a 1.0-litre turbocharged engine that can be paired with either an intelligent manual transmission (iMT) or a Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT); and a 1.5-litre oil burner that can be coupled&nbsp;with either a Torque Converter Automatic (AT), iMT, or a standard manual transmission option.&nbsp;</p>

The brand will&nbsp;offer the new car in seven trim levels.
