KIA Sonet 2024 All In One
Since 2020 Kia took over the compact SUV segment and set the market on fire with the upmarket, tech rich and super sporty Sonet. The journey was pretty smooth, and after selling more than 3 lakh units in the last few years they are the youngest brand who is seeing rapid growth in the Indian auto market. 2024 witnesses the new Sonet and this one is here to win.
Now what does the Sonet have? More than 25 safety features, segment best ADAS with 10 features, and 15 Hi-Safety Features along with 6 airbags as standard across all variants. Now such an alluring all-inclusive package may feel like that this one is going to be a pricey one or maintaining it is going to be pretty pricey. But surprisingly that is not the case here.
This is why Kia excels as a brand as they have established high standards and great pricing and now they say that maintaining a Kia car is much more affordable than their segment competition. Call of the hour? A car which looks as good as this one and drives great too is easy to afford and maintain. Checkmate.
The new Sonet gets full marks with the more muscular design with the new grill and the new headlamps and connected tail lamps add multitudes to the style statment. The new bumper design and sharp stance is complimented well with the 16 inch alloys. This works pretty well among the young crowd who'd love a vehicle which stands out and yet is safe, performs well and is well, damn cool.
The Sonet has always been a class apart with its reinvention of benchmarks since the beginning. With 6 airbags and 50 connected features it was the most tech rich car on its launch in 2020. The new Sonet reinvents on the design and tech. The new set brings in the Surround view Monitor where it helps you to find your car. And yes now you can control your windows with your remote in the Sonet. The VR now accepts Hinglish commands and the Sonet also allows you to control your Air Purifier.
The new Sonet comes accorss 19 variants ranging from 7.99 to 15.69 lakhs giving the Indian market ample opportunities to own one. Calling it the most value for money owning experience the people at Kia made an analysis which proves that the Total Cost of Ownership of a Sonet is lowest in the segment, which is a brave stance to take, but with the recent history in mind it is safe to say that Kia would deliver upon promise.
The Sonet since the beginning has won hearts across the country and with the new Sonet claiming such high standards of looks, performance, safety, afoordability, Kia's future seems bright in India.
