The updated Kia Sonet facelift in India is expected to hit the market either in December 2023 or the first quarter of 2024.
Following the successful launch of the new Seltos, the first uncamouflaged images of the 2024 Kia Sonet facelift have recently surfaced online, ahead of their official release.
These fresh spy shots from China offer a detailed look at the exterior design updates of the revamped Sonet. The new images provide a comprehensive view, unlike the previously captured covert test mules.
The India-spec vehicle is less than 4 metres in length, whereas the 2024 Kia Sonet facelift that was spotted in China is longer than 4 metres.
Also, the automaker says that the design and specifications of India bound Sonet facelift will vary from the Chinese edition shown in the images. Since its debut in September 2020, the Sonet small Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) has only had one mid-lifecycle modification.
2024 Kia Sonet Facelift: Exterior
New headlamps and a revised front bumper are standard on the 2024 Kia Sonet’s front fascia. Its new drop-down feature extends into the bumper, but otherwise, the primary headlight unit is the same as the current model. In addition, the redesigned fog and daytime running LED lighting are included. The false skid plate on the spotted model has been somewhat modified, and the centre air intake mesh has been updated. Also, a new grille insert is also added to the tiny SUV.
With the exception of the new alloy wheels, the 2024 Kia Sonet facelift’s side profile is almost exactly the same as the current model. The SUV’s wraparound taillights have been replaced with new vertical ones in the back. An LED light bar connects them all. The SUV has a more aggressive rear bumper that is finished in two tones—black and silver.

The cabin has undergone minor modifications, based on earlier photos of the Kia Sonet facelift. A brand-new digital instrument console and upgraded HVAC switchgear, modelled after the new Venue, are probably on the way for the SUV. Other expected upgrades for the SUV include a rear seat armrest and new brown-finished upholstery.
2024 Kia Sonet Facelift: Engines
The same lineup of engines—a 1.2 litre NA Petrol with 83 bhp, a 1.0 litre turbocharged petrol engine with 118 bhp, and a 1.5 litre turbodiesel with 114 bhp—is expected to be available for the 2024 Kia Sonet facelift. A 5-speed manual, a 6-speed torque convertor automatic, a 7-speed DCT, and a 6-speed iMT are the available transmission options.
