The engine produces 120bhp and 172Nm of peak torque, making it a powerful offering in the segment.

Thoughts On The Kia Sonet Modified

The modified Kia Sonet definitely looks menacing in the full-black scheme. The muscular lines, creases and the sporty design, further add to the SUVs appearance. We feel that the modifications made to the Sonet are tastefully done and we definitely like it!
