The Kia Sonet was first unveiled at the Auto Expo 2020 and last week, the company had revealed an almost complete commercial version of the car via a sketch of the SUV. Now, Kia Motors has listed the car on their official website and has set up a dedicated page ahead of the 7 August launch. Interested buyers can even register their interest in the car through the page. The car is expected to go on sale in India before the festive season begins.
The company revealed the car through teasers. A recent video ad revealed a component of the car’s tailgate. The officially designed comic strip of the car shown last week shows what to expect from the car’s front fairing.
The new comic strip gave us a glimpse of Kia’s iconic Tiger grill. Stylish DRL LEDs give the car a more unpleasant look of SUV. The wheel steps are also daring, as the corporate revealed at the Auto Expo. The car has a floating roof with rails on the roof.
The Kia Sonet is expected to be powered by a 1.0-liter turbo petrol engine with a newly incorporated dual-clutch automatic transmission to the Hyundai Venue. In the gasoline range, Kia is expected to provide a 1.2-liter engine option as well as a 5-speed manual transmission.
The diesel option will have a 1.5-litre powertrain with a 6-speed manual transmission. Similar to the manual transmission (iMT) recently introduced with the Hyundai Venue, Sonet will also get the new iMT semi-automatic transmission.
