According to some sources, the Sonet facelift is getting the ADAS features in its facelift iteration. It makes sense as the Kia Seltos facelift dons the assistance system, and this SUV could borrow some of its basic features. However, it will be getting fewer features than the Seltos. On top of this, a 360-degree camera is also, most probably, making its way onto the Kia Sonet facelift.

Meanwhile, the Sonet in its current model isn't any shy from offering features. The Sonet boasts an extensive array of safety features. These include a comprehensive 6-airbag setup, electronic stability control, hill start assist control, vehicle stability management, front and rear parking sensors, as well as a TPMS.

A Frenzy Awaits

As it rubs shoulders with the likes of Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, and the Maruti Brezza, the inclusion of ADAS in the Sonet facelift will turn on a chain reaction. While reports already suggest the assistive systems on the updated Tata Nexon, the other 2 rivals wouldn't want to hold back as well. In this case, get ready to see more advanced features debut in this segment as we move forward.

Kia Sonet Facelift: New Styling And Features Coming Your Way

The upcoming Sonet facelift is carrying a host of upgrades, as evident from test mule sightings. Noteworthy changes include refreshed elements like new headlights, grille, LED DRLs, and updated front and rear bumpers. While the side profile retains familiarity, the rear is set to feature Seltos-inspired tail lamps and a potentially sporty dual-tone treatment for the bumper. To top it off, a connected LED beam is highly likely. Inside, a complete transformation awaits, marked by an updated dashboard and fresh upholstery. Meanwhile, key features like front ventilated seats, wireless charger, Bose audio, and smart air purifier continues from the existing model.

Also, the addition of features and updated elements are bringing in a price hike as well. Expect the new Sonet to retail at a premium over its current pricing. The current pricing range of the Sonet lies between Rs 7.79 lakh and Rs 13.09 lakh (ex-showroom). The Sonet facelift with ADAS is expected to debut later this year or in the early months of the next.

Powertrain

The upcoming Kia Sonet facelift is likely to retain the existing powertrain lineup. It includes a 1.2-litre NA petrol engine, a 1.5-liter diesel engine, and a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol mill. While specific details are still under wraps, further information is anticipated to emerge in the upcoming weeks. Stay connected for the latest updates on this front.
