With multiple powertrain options, the new Sonet’s features come encapsulated in a modern exterior.

First unveiled as a concept in Delhi, India, during the Auto Expo 2020, Kia took the Sonet concept to production within a year, bringing the future closer to customers.
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, harbouring functional qualities in every inch of its ergonomic space.
In a statement, Mr. Jacky Hathiramani, the Managing Director/CEO, Kia Nigeria, said: “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 Nigerian customers will find in the Sonet a smart companion to navigate the needs of life.”
