Rumour: Kia Sonet bookings to open on August 7

The Kia Sonet will make its global debut on August 7, 2020. Reports suggest that Kia dealerships will also start accepting bookings for the new sub-4 meter SUV on the same day.

The Kia Sonet shares its platform with the Hyundai Venue. It will also get the same powertrain options as the Venue. It is said that the top-spec GT Line trim will be offered with the 1.0-litre, turbo petrol engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The SUV will also get 1.2-litre, naturally aspirated petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines. Kia will also debut the 6-speed iMT transmission featuring an automated clutch in the Sonet.

In terms of features, higher variants will be offered with a touchscreen infotainment head-unit, digital instrument cluster and automatic climate control. Spy images suggest that the base variant might get a 2-DIN infotainment system and manual air-conditioning.

Reports suggest that the Kia Sonet will be launched in the Indian market sometime in September 2020.
