Kia Motors India globally unveiled it's brand new SUV, the Sonet in India earlier this month. The new Kia Sonet is the brand's first sub-4-metre compact-SUV offering in India.

However, according to the latest report by Rushlane, the brochure of Kia Sonet has been leaked. The Kia Sonet has been a much-awaited product in the Indian market, ever since its concept was unveiled at the 2020 Auto Expo.

There are many more features available with the Sonet and the top-spec variant also gets a full LED headlight unit with DRLs and LED tail lights as well.
