2025 Kia Sonet – Compact in size, rich in substance

Stylish design that feels premium, inside and out

The new Sonet looks every bit the urban SUV it’s meant to be—bold LED lighting, crisp lines, and a premium silhouette. Inside, it continues the theme with a dual-screen layout, quality materials, and thoughtful touches that punch well above its segment.

A feature list that leaves little to wish for

From ventilated seats and a premium sound system to a digital cluster and wireless charging, the Sonet doesn’t hold back. Even lower variants are well-kitted, making the car feel future-ready right from the start.

Engine options for every kind of driver

Petrol, turbo-petrol, or diesel—manual, iMT or automatic. The Sonet offers more combinations than most rivals.

Safety that now comes standard

With 6 airbags as standard, ESC, and features like ADAS on top variants, the Sonet takes safety seriously in 2025. While its GNCAP rating is awaited, the improvements over its predecessor are clear and reassuring.

Still great value, still easy to own

The Sonet balances affordability with aspirational appeal. Its wide variant spread, solid service backing from Kia, and easy ownership experience make it one of the most well-rounded buys in the segment today.
