What makes the Kia Sonet so popular?
The latest milestone achieved by the Sonet is a reflection of Kia’s vision for the Indian market. The Sonet, which is a compact SUV, has been crafted as per the Indian customer demands and the market needs. It is available from an affordable starting price of Rs 7.30 lakh, and Kia offers three engine options on it.
The main reason behind the Sonet’s popularity is its versatility and comfort factor. The cabin design of the Sonet is plush and offers a luxury feel that its rivals, like the Maruti Brezza and Tata Nexon lacks. Additionally, customers get multiple gearbox and engine option combinations, which makes it easy to choose the best variant as per one’s needs.
Kia says that 35 per cent of its Indian domestic sales come from the Sonet itself. In fact, the brand has sold over 1 lakh units in 70 global countries, which indicates that the Sonet’s versatility and practicality are in demand globally.
Kia is working on the new generation of the Sonet, and it will most likely be launched in 2027.
