  📍 Check out the Sonet Facelift! It's like the outgoing model's stylish cousin with a clever glow-up. The most striking change is the sleek LED headlights that are now bigger and better, with three sides of LED Daytime Running Lights to light up the road.
  📍 The front bumper is also fresh and fierce with edgy skid plates and LED fog lights that sit like a boss below the intakes. And let's not forget the slick new design for those 16-inch alloy wheels - they're a true head-turner!
  📍 n line with newer Kias, the Sonet facelift gets an LED light bar at the rear, which connects the two vertical, C-shaped tail-lights. Other details of note at the rear are a new bumper and a roof-mounted spoiler. As before, the Tech Line is marked out from the GT and X-Line variants with slightly different treatment for the front and rear bumpers.
  📍 The Sonet facelift is a fashionista's dream with a whopping palette of 11 stunning shades to choose from! Feast your eyes on eight bold monotones, two striking dual-tones, and one chic matte finish. And, wait for it, they have added the stunning Pewter Olive color from the Seltos to their lineup!
  📍 The biggest change on the interior of the Sonet facelift is the addition of a new, 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster borrowed from the larger Seltos SUV. Furthermore, it retains the large centrally mounted 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment housed in a slightly redesigned enclosure. Below this is a new small screen for displaying climate control info, along with two rows of toggles for HVAC controls, traction and drive modes. Kia has also given the Sonet facelift new upholstery for the seats.
  📍 As for features, the big talking point is the inclusion of Level 1 ADAS tech like on the Hyundai Venue. It packs in features like forward collision warning, lane departure warning, forward collision avoidance assistance and warning, high beam assist, lane keeping assist, and more.
  📍 Six airbags, hill-start assist, a tyre pressure monitoring system and
  📍 The ESC are standard across all trims, while higher trims get cornering lamps, four-way powered driver's seat and a 360-degree camera with blind-view monitor.
  📍 📍 Apart from the aforementioned features, high-end Sonet models will retain cooled front seats, leatherette upholstery, a Bose sound system, sunroof, and LED ambient lighting. The interior upholstery comes in five different colors across all variants, with a new dual-tone black and brown finish being the latest addition.
  📍 The powertrain options on the Sonet facelift continue unchanged: an 83hp, 1.2-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine that comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox only; a 120hp, 1.0-litre, three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine; and a 116hp, 1.5-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine. The turbo-petrol and diesel engines retain the 6-speed iMT, but the 6-speed manual gearbox has been reintroduced on the diesel.  The turbo-petrol and diesel engines also get a 7-speed dual-clutch and 6-speed torque converter automatic options, respectively.
  📍 The Sonet continues to be offered in Tech Line, GT Line and X-Line variants, which is further split into the following trims: HTE, HTK, HTK+, HTX, HTX+, GTX and X-Line. The 1.2-litre petrol engine is available on the HTE, HTK and HTK+ trims, while the 1.0-turbo-petrol and 1.5-diesel are spread across all three trim lines. The automatic gearboxes for both these engines are limited to the top-spec HTX+, GTX and X-Line trims.
  📍 Kia will announce prices for the Sonet facelift in January. For reference, the pre-facelift Sonet was priced from Rs 7.79 lakh for the base 1.2 petrol to Rs 14.89 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the top-spec diesel-auto. Given the significant changes it has undergone, expect the Sonet facelift to cost a decent chunk more than before.
