Kia Sonet facelift spotted for the first time in South Korea

It has been almost three years since the Kia Sonet was introduced in India. The brand's smallest offering is now set to get a mid-life makeover. Latest spy images suggest that work on the Sonet facelift is in full swing at Kia's HQ in South Korea.

A heavily camouflaged test mule of the Sonet facelift has been spotted. The crossover is expected to get redesigned front fascia inspired by other models in the brand's line-up. We could see redesigned headlamps with an updated LED signature, new dual-tone alloy wheels along with changes to the rear end.

Kia might also make some changes to the interior. The updated Sonet could get a large touchscreen infotainment system, sunroof and new upholstery.

The Sonet facelift is expected to get the same petrol and diesel engines as the current model. These include the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines that have recently been upgraded to comply with the RDE norms.

Rumour: Rumour: Kia Sonet facelift India launch by next year

The Kia Sonet is all set to get a mid-life makeover. If recent reports are to be believed, the updated crossover is likely to make its global debut sometime next year. It could go on sale in India around the same time.

Test mules of the Sonet facelift have already been spotted in the wild. The compact SUV will receive several updates both inside and out. The exterior changes could be inspired by the EV9 and EV5 concept with a sharper design and vertical tail lamps with an LED light bar in the centre.

The Sonet facelift is also expected to get an updated cabin. We might see a redesigned dashboard and new interior trims. It could carry forward features such as the touchscreen infotainment system, wireless charger, sunroof and digital instrument cluster.

The updated Sonet will likely use the same powertrains as the current model. These include a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol, a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel unit. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual, 6-speed iMT, 6-speed AT and 7-speed DCT.
