No that seems to be the GT variant production model.

Re: The Kia Sonet Compact SUV, now unveiled

As expected! very funky design! a baby Seltos for sure! Love the very stubby look! Love the rear!

If Toyota is watching this live launch, please, please! that Urban Ladder sorry, Urban Cruiser or whatever, junk it!!!! NOW!!

Ahh the presenters! these guys seem to be wearing blankets! don't know why!

A proper speed 7DCT! Ventilated seats and Bose system!! this thing will sell!!

Apart from the Ecosport and the its cousin Venue, others just cannot hold a candle to this thing!!

1.5 Litre Diesel automatic! Believe this is a TC unit! another first and man! these guys have come to the game with series cup already!! Interesting times ahead!! Don't know why but I am just excited for the Urban Crooooser!!! Comon Toyota Bring it on! LOL!!

Re: The Kia Sonet Compact SUV, now unveiled

A really good looking clean design and it is almost 90% true to its concept design shown earlier. Only the wheels and wheel arches seem a bit smaller. The interiors are quite neat, but need to see in person to assess how the slab console in front looks. I did not like it too much on the Seltos - lets see if they have done it better on the Sonet.
This car will literally leave all other sub 4 meter suvs in the dust with its design. By launching it now they will take away substantial market from all other players. I expect this to sell 12k per month easily if priced well in the 7-10L range.

Diesel Automatic (TC) also confirmed! This will be a major pull for lot of customers who cover long distances!

Overall a well executed Launch event, much better than others!

The features mentioned are segment firsts, I think 60:40 split is not left out. So be rest assured.

Re: The Kia Sonet Compact SUV, now unveiled

Handsome looking CSUV by Kia. It sure has the Seltos genes! And seems to be loaded to the hilt. I am sure that Brezza/Toyota Urban Cruiser , Ecosport and Nexon will take a hit.

Re: The Kia Sonet Compact SUV, now unveiled

This will repeat the Seltos success story without a shadow of doubt. The best thing about Kia is the varied choices, options and flexibility to the prospective customers. So many trim engine and transmission options, there is something suitable for everyone.

Maruti says Diesel is dead, Kia says hold my Sonet and go one further by launching a six speed Diesel automatic . This is what setting the benchmark looks like. Smashing looking, very well proportioned and very well equipped.
