The Kia Sonetfacelift has been spotted undergoing testing for the first time in India,and it is likely to be launched in early 2025. Kia recently launched the facelifted Seltosin the Indian market with a starting price of INR 10.89 lakhs(ex-showroom) and equipped it with the new 1.5-liter turbo petrol engine. It seems that Kia is also preparing to launch the Sonet facelift. The Sonet facelift’s test model has been spotted several times in South Korea.
Now,the testing prototype of the Sonet facelifthas been seen on Indian roads,indicating that the updated SUV is expected to be launched in the domestic market very soon. However,the testing prototype was adequately camouflaged. The most significant and prominent update will be in its design,which includes a new front end featuring integrated LED DRLswith a new set of headlights that extend to the lower half of the revised bumper.
The fog lamp position will likely remain unchanged,and there may be changes in the front grille to give it a fresh appeal. The side profile is expected to remain unaltered,with possibly 17-inch alloy wheelsfor the top-spec variant and 16-inch unitsfor the lower trims. The testing model also featured red brake calipers,already part of the GT Line package.
At the rear,the Sonet faceliftmay get a new set of LED tail lampswith connected treatment,similar to what we have seen in the recently launched Seltos facelift. The rear bumper appears updated and may receive a dual-tone finish for a sportier appeal.
As for the interior,no glimpse has been seen yet. However,the updated model will likely have a new dashboard layout featuring a dual 10.25-inch screen. The upholstery changes are evident,and we can expect to see new features like a 360-degree parking cameraand factory-fitted dual-way dashcamin the facelift model.
