With multiple powertrain options, the new Sonet’s impressive
features come encapsulated in a modern exterior, making the Sonet the latest
addition to Kia’s award-winning SUV family. With a dynamic stance in a
confident and compact body, the Sonet includes a fresh interpretation of Kia’s
signature ‘tiger-nose’ grille, ‘heartbeat’ LED DRLs (daytime running lights),
and a stylish front skid plate beneath.
Kia first unveiled the Sonet concept in Delhi, India, during
the Auto Expo 2020. Within a year, Kia has taken a concept to reality, bringing
the future closer to customers. The all-new Sonet incorporates Kia’s DNA of
emotive styling along with a premium appeal, which creates a strong presence on
road.
Boasting multiple segment-first features that offer the
ultimate driving experience for customers, the Sonet provides comfort,
convenience, and safety. Fitted with the largest and the best in class
10.25-inch (26.03 cm) HD, the Sonet also comes with other smart features such
as multi-drive & traction modes, and grip control for automatic models.
Designed around the driver with a well laid-out, intuitive
infotainment and cluster interface, the Sonet was built taking into
consideration the end user’s experience, harboring functional qualities in
every inch of its ergonomic space.
“Kia has manufactured a vision inspired by our young,
ingenious customers who crave simplicity and seamlessness in their lives. The
Sonet delivers on features that are simply not found in models belonging to the
same compact SUV category. Packed with first-in-class, purposeful features and
technologies. Our Nigeria customers will find in the Sonet a smart companion to
navigate the needs of life.” Said Mr. Jacky Hathiramani, Managing Director/CEO,
Kia Nigeria.
Under the hood, the Sonet comes with multiple powertrain
options which can be customised to suit the requirements of the driver. An
efficiently powered gasoline engine –the Sonet also offers its 1.5-liter MPI
engine with the six-speed automatic transmission.
Kia Motors keenly prioritises customer safety. As a result,
more than two-thirds of the Sonet’s body consists of high strength and advanced
high strength steel, which creates a robust yet lightweight structure. Kia has
ensured that every drive with the Sonet is as hassle-free and safe as possible,
thanks to a rigorous set of measures created in line with Kia’s pillars of
safety.
To match the needs of a wide array of customer preferences,
the Sonet will be available in a dual trim concept that includes a sporty
GT-Line trim. Enhancing the Sonet’s athletic and energetic appeal, the GT-Line
models offer sportiness both inside and out. Customers who are looking for a
sharp, dynamic road presence have the choice to opt for this trim.
“Built through synthesising customer insight, Kia has
formulated the Sonet, a compact SUV design built to world-leading standards,
pioneering segment-leading features, and design that naturally nestles itself
into the increasingly demanding urban lives of individuals,” said, Olawale
Jimoh, Marketing Manager, Kia Nigeria.
The Sonet is now available in Nigeria at all Kia Showrooms.
