The much-awaited Kia Sonet sub-4 meter SUV is scheduled to be launched in the country tomorrow. Bookings for the SUV have already been started, and the interested buyers can pre-book the Sonet only or via official dealerships by paying a token amount of Rs 25,000.
The Kia Sonet has been receiving excellent response buyers, as it recorded over 6,500 bookings in just 24 hours.
