Kia Sonet - The Most Premium Compact SUV

The Most Premium Compact SUV

The Kia Sonet has singlehandedly outclassed its more established rivals, and the sales figures are a testimony of its success. It is easily the most premium compact SUV in its segment, here are the reasons why:

Dual Trims

Design is something that makes or breaks a product, and in Kia Sonet's case, its styling is one of its strongest suits. It is striking and sporty, and has a certain level of aggression to it with its prominent creases. But what makes it even more desirable is that it is offered with dual trims - Tech Line and GT Line. Call it 'dual personalities', if you will. While the former has a calm demeanour and is designed for the family man. The GT Line, on the other hand, is targeted towards the outgoing, young-at-heart customers. It entices buyers with its edgy design elements like the red highlights on the body panels and sporty bumpers.

Interior Space & Quality of Materials

Despite being a compact SUV, the Kia Sonet offers spacious and ergonomically laid-out interiors, along with good space for five adults. What's more, it has the largest boot-space in the segment, at 392-litres. But, the icing on the top is the quality of materials used and the excellent fit and finish. Right from the sturdy plastics, to the switch gear, door cushions, and the premium leather upholstery, everything exudes a sense of quality. And then, the dual personality theme is carried over inside the cabin as well, with the Tech Line getting two-tone interiors, while the GT Line gets an all-black cabin with red accents.

Best-in-class NVH Levels

In a segment that's crowded with rattly/noisy cars, refinement is second nature for the Kia Sonet. The NVH levels are excellent in the Sonet, thanks to its refined engines, be it petrol or diesel. The vibrations are next to none, and the superb insulation means wind and tyre noise is virtually absent. The quieter cabin brings a sense of tranquility to the driving experience.

Segment-leading Features

Kia Sonet Front Centre Air Vents

The Sonet's key to success lies in the way it’s packaged with features. Here's a list of the first-in-class features include the Kia Sonet gets.

- Ventilated front seats

Kia Sonet Music System

The Kia Sonet is offered with two petrol engines (1.2 NA and 1.0 TGDI units) and a diesel motor (1.5-litre). And there's a choice of four transmission options, with the Sonet being the only compact SUV to offer a proper diesel automatic (torque converter). So, there's a Sonet for all types of customers.
